I came across a lot of Students who tend to look at their Fingers,
and it was always a bad habit.
As they have to learn most of the tunes by heart, just to hear and
correct the Sound, some Students started looking at their Fingers.
What I wanted to archieve is, that they learn something like a
Performance Feeling.
Try it out, when you look down while playing, your thoat is squeezing
and the Air-Flow is broken.
Just an Experience and Suggestion!
