I remember a lesson many years ago, when my teacher told me that her job was to teach me how to teach myself. So that I would one day no longer need a teacher.I couldn’t have been more than 9 or 10 at the time, so the notion of me teaching myself was hard to fathom. It was difficult enough to just play in tune, never mind come up with my own bowings and fingerings, or making decisions about phrasing and all the musical details and nuances involved.Of course, she was right. One day I wouldn’t have a teacher. Or even if I did, I would only have that teacher’s assistance for one brief hour out of each week. Which meant that for 99.4% of the week, I was on my own. And if I wanted to make meaningful progress during the week, I’d have to learn how to teach myself.But how exactly do you teach someone to become a more independent learner?Get all the nerdy details right here:<a href='https://bulletproofmusician.com/how-being-too-quick-to-offer-feedback-can-degrade-learning/'>Why Being Too Quick to Offer Feedback Could Inhibit Learning</a>ReferencesSwinnen, S.
