 Re: Increasing speed in older players/ teacher beliefs

That is a really nice response, Sky -- you make valid points.

Another thing I remember about learning theory (the theory of how people learn, not music theory) is that if one has become literate in *any* language before about age 12, learning a subsequent language becomes much easier. There may even be something about the process of learning, itself, that makes further learning easier.

Music is often spoken of as a "language," and I would't be surprised at all to find that a person who has learned one instrument well would progress more rapidly with the second, and subsequent, instruments (I think we call these folks "doublers" -- they are musically multilingual.)

So, maybe all those accordion lessons kids took back in 1958 really weren't useless, after all . . .?
