Episode #10: Mindsets, Ethics, and Lichens, Oh My! 

Methods of learning classical music sounds like something interesting. What are main concepts behind? I read not long ago about The Suzuki Method which looks nice and solid. But overall I think I would go for ecological dynamics perspective. I find one article on the web "An ecological approach to musical skill acquisition and creative development" Seems like a good start. There are multiple ways to improve but what you need to do is to design practice in accordance to ecological principles. It's not the procedure nor it's techniques. You introduce constraints and allow for skill to develop via self-organization, most what is needed for learner is to receive direct feedback from activity. When things don't progress then you modify the constraints. It's entirely different approach in comparison to usually used information-processing framework. Here you don't train for technique by repetition. But but by are embraicing variability and self-organization.
