Teaching C and G position, good or bad?
on: July 12, 2009, 01:30:07 AM
I have some students who were given to me and do not want to do anything else but C position or G position. Is it really a good way to teach ? I was never taught using this method. How can you stop a student from relying on C , G , F position? SHould the teacher use this method? Thanks
