have my students practice for me. it is astonishing what, otherwise
rational, people will come up with when left to their own devices. i have
had students who seemed to get nowhere until i taught them how to practice
and then really took off. i suggest you ask your teacher for a lesson in
how to practice. don't worry if this request is greeted with shock.
regretably, it is something we teachers often overlook.

That is a really interesting POV, Mike ... I think this week may be "Show me
how you practice" week.... Thanks for the idea!!

you something else you do not know already, especially about yourself.
