Stan,

You might consider asking Robert to write an article regarding his unusual
approach. With some specific examples, a timetable, and various other
interesting ideas (eg. when to introduce articulation and how he does that
in conjunction with altissimo playing for beginners.....etc.) might be
useful and helpful for everyone. I would enjoy reading something like
that. I don't believe anyone in the Articles Archives has discussed that
kind of approach yet - so it might be a good thing to have there.......

Just an idea.

Best,
Roger Garrett
