That's fine for 3 to 6 year-olds. But I hope that last part about matching the master isn't part of these teachers' intent. They're teaching maturing students whose technical and musical execution have already reached a reasonably high level. Matching the "master" should no longer be the goal, but rather reaching toward the the student's own musical concept and ideal.
