100% agreed! Best to play a little of everything. No need to run for cover.

Honestly, so long as they play a variety of styles, I don't care what method my students use. I'll teach from whatever keeps them interested and gets them practicing. After all, they're going to encounter the same basic technical difficulties in whatever music they play.

The way I see it, my responsibility is to take whatever repertoire they're playing at the moment, and use it as a tool to teach them analytical techniques and practice habits that will enable them to teach themselves how to solve whatever new problems they may encounter. After all, there's only so much that a teacher can correct in one hour per week. The students who succeed are the ones who learn to critique themselves at home.

The choice of a specific etude or solo piece is more about guiding them toward music that will expose weaknesses in their playing.

Cheers,
Drew
