Actually you have to "calculate how far to lift each foot for every step you take in a staircase" under certain circumstance. One example: the old Khmer temple staircases, thousend & more steps long ways up in the Chinese holy mountains, staircases in old buildings, where steps can be less or more, where steps can be wider in length. But these are special cases. So is it in music. Learn the advanced basics first but be trained to adapt instantly. ============================================================ =============================================
