Anyhoo, let me know if we should do some piano together with you in mind.  It's good for me too as I've always been interested in teaching and am open to new ways to do this.  Keeping in mind of course that I'm moving into new areas with paino, myself.

Hi Scott:

Well, your reply is more heady than I was expecting -  but plenty of food for thought in your comments.  My offer was really just a heartfelt offer - no monetary exchange.  I thought it would be just a once in a while thing for brief moments (e.g. before we all play together)  a something to work with for you to add to whatever else you do.  I do hope you do not think I would be authoritarian, that sounds dreadful!  I agree it is nice to ask questions in the moment, however, in practical life, that is not always available to us.  I know at camps, I've oft had to note my questions and think about who to ask later on.  I think many styles of interactive learning can serve us.  You seem to be so familiar with internet learning.  It's still new for me.  I'm open to it but not familiar with it yet as you are.

Hi Barb,

Thanks for your thoughtful and engaging reply.

Co-lessoning is a novel idea vis-a-vis RC (Re-evaluation Counseling) even ... but how best to explore this so it's generative and even conveyed through the music-making itself ... ?

A regular internet music playing space might allow for such co-lessoning as question-asking and answering in more frequent ways than once a week.

Here's a blog post about Music Playing Spaces - with an internet video - from a few years ago ... http://worlduniversityandschool.blogspot.com/2012/06/music-playing-spaces-on-wednesdays-and.html ... but I'll explore asking some questions of you occasionally when we making music together if I may.

A first question of mine ...

How do I get both my hands going - playing - rhythmically - so probably slowly -  but very simply so that it provides a basis for further development of two-handed playing with other instruments, say in the context of Monday evening SCD? It's possible in the waltzes etc but I can't build this basic two hand rhythmic basis with the faster music yet ... so much so that developments haven't occurred .. but I could if I learned how ... say with 1 finger on each hand even, so very simply :)

What I like about SCD on Mondays playing base lines ... is that it happens so easily ... but it hasn't otherwise for me in almost 3 years surprisingly become the basis for two handed rhythmic playing with all of you for example ... so ...

How do I get both my hands going - playing - rhythmically - so probably slowly -  but very simply so that it provides a basis for further development of two-handed playing with other instruments, say in the context of Monday evening SCD?

One answer is kind of in Yo-yo Ma's Guidelines -

Looking forward to finding a key to unlock this puzzle :)

And looking further to communicating further about this with time :)

Cheers,

Interesting that Marsalis and Ma say this:

"5 Relax and practice slowly.

6 Practice hard parts longer"
