I wonder how many careers have been extincted in the early stage just because of some sort of indoctrination, whether this be running the 100m barefoot or placing teeth on mouthpieces or tilting the head while playing flute...etc.
I was taught "...whatever rocks your boat. For many, the following method works best: (explanation follows)"

Eventually, when one becomes successful despite slaps on the head or fingers, critiques will rave about the "unique playing style". Go figure...
