One thing I have noticed about my teaching, is that themes come in waves. In two week to one-month periods, I find myself emphasizing specific things in lessons. Of course, I do my best to hear each person openly, and think about what is the best, individualized focal point for each lesson, but somehow, those focal points get aligned somewhat. Makes sense, since clarinet playing is pretty simple in concept, and we all face the same challenges.
Today's Grade: B+ (OK content, but is too general, unpragmatic)
What does unpragmatic mean, Dr. Taylor??
ReplyDeletenot practical enough. I read this, and I can't quite tell how that means I am supposed to practice differently.
ReplyDeleteOK, so it means that lessons may be on themes, but I also have to remember to think about our previous discussions too, right?
ReplyDeleteyep.
