Re: The Forest for the Trees

I must admit that I am confused by the premise. Musicians as I am to understand it are artisans. As such we learn from those who come before us much like an apprentice in a shop that makes shoes, or barrels...... or clarinets. The Wurlitzer family comes to mind where at least three generations (and certainly more) have taken knowledge from the previous, internalized that and perhaps improved upon that foundation. Anything else would be re-inventing the wheel (not altogether a bad thing, just perhaps less efficient and a waste of existing resources).

So when I am shown a certain fingering or combination of fingerings for a certain tricky bit, that is not a good way to learn? I need to know what the passage should sound like and come up with a solution on my own?

I don't mean to be thick about this...........just sounds like instead of seeking lessons with Yehuda Gilad we just all need a good therapist?
