Jeremy,
Well we obviously don't need a flame war over this dicussion
about practice techniques but....
Practice techniques and approach are everything.
I don't know why you are in such a hurry to brush off the
whole subject.
Your summary doesnt not indicate to me that you understand at
all the issues here or how important it is for someone to achieve
the proper orientation regarding practice techniques.
Even the previous thread on transcription which got fairly heated,
to me was very valuable. Otherwise I would have suggested
we end it long before.
Of course, we don't have to just discuss practice tehniques.
What is it that you would like to see discussed?
