You are a round peg (probably)

  1. Your body is different. There is no single "correct" way to play that works for everyone.
  2. Teachers explain principles and guide experience. Instructions are only directions, not principles.
  3. Language points. Experience reveals.
  4. True understanding comes from knowledge and experience.
  5. The goal isn't to become someone else. It's to understand yourself well enough to become the best version of your own playing.
  6. The solution isn't to squeeze into a square hole. The key is never to forget that we are all round pegs.
