Wendell, Any debate can get heated....I am not P.C. in my remarks because I do not have too. The big confusion seems to be the fact this is a trumpet teacher, who includes horn teachers and players in their critic of methodology.
It is fine Wendell if you don't like my style of disagreement ( how right or wrong it may be), but quit with the condescending remarks. Out of the maybe 30 people who participate on this list, you have some good things to say. As for students with special problems, that is for a great teacher to overcome. I know exactly how I would solve the problems you outline. I am not a great teacher, but I have enough experience with students, and experience with my own development to diagnose and help any player overcome a particular obstacle. The big caveat is the patience and hard work by the student, which I would promote and encourage. Fortitude is a quality to find in more people of the world.
