from experience, not scientifcally proven mind you) this hinders progress.
Adutls come and are over-anxious to please, but don't realize the
best/easiest thing for them to do is just to work, work, work. Adults also
feel guilty faster than kids - hint that they havne't practised and they
immediately feel guilt. However, most adults learn faster - simply b/c they
are older and grasp the concepts quicker. This is a PLUS.
Fiona-
I also believe that adults, generally, feel that AS AN ADULT they should
already be good at something. It is somehow okay to be a beginner as a child,
but once they are grown, they feel they shouldn't be a beginner anymore (or at
least not for very long). I haven't taught piano, but my adult voice students
seem to feel this way. They get extremely frustrated by not being able to do
something on the first try.
Just my observations.
