Hello again John,
I think both ways and more, as I imagine you as a Feldenkreis teacher probably
do
as well, depending, sort of like the old "micro- and macrocosm" stuff - in the,
um, greater, holistic, interdependent scheme of things.... I do a lot of
visualization. With trumpet as my second instrument, when I'm learning a song,
I
often feel my fingers instinctually "finger/figuring out" intervals. I also
play
a bit of piano, guitar and such and also visualize intervals and holistically
learn stuff on that basis... "Yes, kids, get those piano/guitar/whatever
"harmonic" instrument lessons, of course, as always, from a *good, competent*
teacher..." The horror stories I could tell about my piano "teachers"...

To Laura, who believes NBC still uses this theme, you may be right - I have sort
of been without a tv for a while, which occurs to me is (usually) a good thing,
to turn off the corporate culture... - yikes, here's that off-topic "random
abstract rant mode" again...:o) I'm an "elderly" 48, though I seriously strive
to be ageless... even though the ageist Met Auditions and the omnipresent
"Young
Artist Programs/Competitions" and their like think they have um, put us "old
farts" out to pasture...
Cheers.
