Unfortunately (IMHO) even highly reputed teachers in highly regarded conservatory positions here too often feel it necessary to tear every new student down to the rudiments and then build back up, usually *in the teacher's image* regardless of how the student started or what problems he/she may have had. The basic philosophy is too often that there is *only one right way.*
