Karl,

I think you misread my response to M-Man, and I could have chosen my words better:

> MarlboroughMan, why "impose a rule on them?" First, if you're
> referring to ANY rule, I'm absolutely opposed to the "what
> works for you" philosophy with students.

I wondered if he meant "ANY" rule, and responded to that possibility.

Also, it appears that some posters think that I'm advocating sticking to "rules" whether they work or not. I don't think I said anything even close to that.

Anyway, if I come across a student who needs special treatment, they'll get it. (Being a counselor by training, I'm not exactly blind to individual differences.) I just haven't had any need for that so far using what I use.

(This begs for a discussion about how truly unique each student is when it comes to learning how to play, but I stirred things up once already this month, so I'll just let that ride, hoping someone else will pick up that gauntlet.)

B.
