 Re: Increasing speed in older players/ teacher beliefs

I think I should look for another teacher. Basically he says I can't learn to play anything fast - or rather that people my age in general can't, but perhaps I could be the first (like it's a joke to him.) I know of some studies that show the teacher's expectation will in fact change the teaching outcome. He really seems to know how to improve my playing on the other hand. I assume he is, being a high powered player and teacher, looking for the students with professional ambitions.

I have a master's on classical guitar and made a living playing for a while, as a sort of low level pro - but clarinet moves faster. My tone is relatively nice and that I seem to improve with any instruction. Hand and arm tension on clarinet seems to really drag me down speed wise and he actually helped me with this a lot. I tend to back off the air when insecure.
