Because of my journey in becoming a professional musician and educator, I believe...
...that all students can learn, regardless of their background. Students that are given a positive environment where the teacher acts as a coach are more likely to succeed. The right combination of instruction and given time for teacher-guided and independent practice sessions will ensure that the student can achieve their desired skills. In my observations while teaching, skill development works best when complex tasks are broken down into simple parts that can be applied to already known things; this is called "nesting", otherwise known as inference learning. By applying nested knowledge to acquiring new skills, students will generally be more successful in achieving their goals. Further, student can use "nesting" as a means to acquire new skills on their own. This results in student's taking ownership of their skill development. This is the goal of all great teachers, to show students how to teach and better themselves. Below is a recent paper I wrote that examines this process as it applies to learning new and unfamiliar music.
