I teach them to identify the problem that is facing them and then start brainstorming to solve the problem. It might take 1 to 3 tries to find a solution that works. Or if they can’t seem to find the solution they bring it to me in the lesson and I help them. I also teach them to listen closely to what is happening while their playing and give me feedback on what they hear so I know if they are really hearing what is going on. The longer they study with me the more responsibility they have at being able to work independently and solve more problems in their playing. It’s a process I enjoy teaching and my students gain confidence as they take more control over their learning process.
