We,ve covered a lot of subjects but have we covered this one.
I had one teacher who, during a 30 min. lesson, had me playing the entire time while correcting any mistakes along the way. He did very little "for example" playing. More of a hands-on teacher. Placing my fingers here and there, lifting the instrument to take pressure off the reed, etc. I guess you might say he was very proactive. And, I liked this style.
Another, had me playing the same lesson (homework) over and over as if trying to get me to get that page perfect before moving on to the next page - we never got off of page 2. I love success.
The third and current teacher is more "assignment" oriented. With discussion about the music, notes, rhythm, technique, etc. and with lots of demonstration. Of course, I have no music background so this is very beneficial.
What other teaching techniques have people experienced.
