Do any teachers here have experience of teaching using his strategy that he outlines in Teaching Beginners and Improve your Teaching?

I am currently writing a dissertation on it and obviously a major part of my research is testing out the method myself, but any additional research is always welcomed.

If anyone has experience (positive or negative) of it and wouldn't mind giving me a few of their thoughts I'd be grateful . By PM or on this topic is fine.

Thank-you.

He gave a lecture on this at an inset day that I attended earlier this year. I'll try to find the notes I made if that will be helpful?

I find that some pieces seem to lend themselves naturally to this and the pieces vary according to the student I'm teaching.

Paul Harris wrote an article on this in an old issue of Libretto.

It 's probably similar to what is in the two books you mention, but might be worth looking up. If I can find out when it was, I'll post.

(ed) yes - I think 2003 no 1 is the one I'm remembering. It's an article on practice - but he mentions simultaneous learning.

I changed my way of teaching beginners after reading his books. It seems such a natural way of teaching that I wondered why I hadn't thought of it before!

I agree that it depends on the piece you are currently teaching and whether it "lends" itself to being taught that way.
It also really depends on the pupil as well. Those with a good ear and good memory will pick things up really quickly and make it a pleasurable experience. Those with less ability can make it a very painstaking experience indeed.
I've had some really successful experiences using it but also some where I just can't wait to get the score out for them so we can stop going round and round in circles of wrong notes.
