She gave me fun stuff when there was some reason to (bad week at school or as a reward for doing something I didn't really want to do), and she gave me work stuff when I was "in a flow." I would make weeks or months of progress in just a few lessons when I was in a flow. I'm convinced that a good music teacher is as much a psychologist as a musician. | |

My "fun" time was playing favorite songs or working on memorization, my "work" time was scales, chords, or remembering what all the terminology was. Unfortunately my parents rarely let me do only the fun ;) | |
