Apparently, I need a new door on my office. It seems that the current model is outfitted with some kind of "mind-wipe" module (possibly alien technology).
I try to drive home those big points for students to remember. I try to inspire them.
They seem to get it. They seem inspired.
Then they walk out through that door....
...and their minds are wiped!
A week later they return. I consult my notes before they come in so I'm ready to go. I say something like, "So, how's it going with that new relaxed way of blowing? [You know, the one that was such a breakthrough? You know, the one that made you say, "Wow, this is so much easier!"?]"
I watch their faces for some glimmer of recognition.
[pause]
"Oh yeah, about that...." [voice trails off guiltily]
It must be the door.
Maybe I can develop some kind of "Mind Wipe Defense System [MWDS]"
How about this?
Hmmm, I wonder how that would go over with the studio....
I'm going to have to think about this some more. The critical question is this:
How to bridge that gap between the end of the lesson
and the first practice session after?
Those wonderful flashes of recognition and inspiration...
how can they be in the forefront of the mind
as that first practice session begins?
