Ha-ha! Sounds like good advice, thanks Sherm.... I'll stay out of the
computer user groups in the future, and buy a book instead.
I didn't realize this excercise was complicated.... Thinking if this
boy could "see" a sample of what this should look like, he could use
it as a stepping stone of sorts.
I'm forever trying to cajole my (music) students into using the
internet for the resource I know it can be.
But then, musicians LIKE to, "show-off" and share their techniques,
etc.
Everyone "learns" in their own way, some visual, some quick-studies,
some as
dumb as a box o' rocks. I will stand on my head with the patience of
Job
to get something across to student. If they don't "get it"...it's my
job to figure out a way to help them understand. (But I'm talking
about music)
I should stick to what I know. - Sincerely, Donna
