One thing that results is, I think, that they learn the sound to expect much faster and therefore they're able to hear their own mistakes, which is essential to practicing and learning almost anything.
I could have quoted many things from your post - they are all so helpful.
I relate especially to the above quote. At least in my personal learning, I had to come to a point where I understood certain finger patterns match certain aural sounds/effects FIRST - and then I could come back to printed music and make something of it (not that I use a lot of printed music, but I can understand it much better than I did when I studied it in the various educational institutions). Basically, (paraphrasing what you stated), It had to make sense to my ears before it made sense to me on paper. Sadly, the journey to that realization took me a very, very long time.
I appreciate the fine instructors on this board; yourself, Ken, Tony F, Tony P, Seabreeze, et al. I don't wish to diminish any of the instructors I had...but I do appreciate the ability of those on this forum to help folks look at things from different perspectives.
I look back at my instructors with fondness, but if I were to try to find fault with them, it might be that they didn't realize I was caught up in the minutia...and that I was missing the overarching concept(s) of what that minutia was supposed to help me achieve.
