ORIGINAL: MikeC If you have good local teacher that's great. Maybe you can supplement your learning with YouTube. There are a lot of people, including Ricardo, that have great tutorials on YouTube. But I have to say that you'll be surprised with the nuances and details that Ricardo can pick up and correct over Skype. I still don't know how he does it. Things like articulation, fingering, hand position, tone, dynamics, every little detail, he notices. He is very patient and tries many ways to explain something until you get it. After watching the videos sometimes I feel a little embarrassed when I see him explaining something patiently many times in many different ways while I'm getting it wrong until it finally it clicks. Having the recordings of the lessons is a great thing, and could be better that one on one in person (unless you video record your lessons). You can try the 15 min free lesson with no obligation just to get an idea. I've been taking lessons with him for over 6 months and I highly recommend him! Mike, Thanks for sharing your experience. I also have the same problem, every time I go for a lesson which is bi-weekly my teacher points outs I am making the same mistakes with hand position, fingering, etc. It is slowly sinking in and I am trying to pay more attention while practicing. I can think of one advantage of the Skype lessons, I won't have to drive an extra hour to the other end of town and back after work.
