16 Methodological tools for solving any passage
Hi, group!
Almost a year ago I started writing a small "booklet" compiling the most effective tools I use and teach my students to use for solving methodologically any passage's difficulty either technical or musical. These are tools that many of us use most of the time but I never saw them all together systematically explained. The pdf was first distributed in spanish with great feedback from all over and I have now translated it into english and share it with you.
The text is Creative Commons License. I'm not in the bussiness of monetizing my materials. I prefer to share with everybody, but if you think it is useful and want to contribute to the cause I won't get mad about it. Just let me know. You are free to use this as you see fit, share it with whom ever you think may profit from it and teach from it, if you think it is adaptable to your teaching process.
I have posted some videos in my Facebook and Instagram pages (in spanish) about the uses and reasons behind each tool and you are welcome to look for them. I´ll probably also upload them to Youtube in a while with subs.
I hope you'll enjoy them. Feedback is very welcomed!!

Hi and ! you are very welcomed. This booklet is very much in line with the videos recorded by Ashley Lucero for Tonebase (which I agree 100% with and which i think are some of the most profitable videos of the site). I gathered these tools by watching my parents teach violin and piano and developed them by trial and error through difficult times in my study and by learning alongside of my students.
Nowadays I can say I garantee excelent results in two different ways: the playing will get much better without doubt, but also the amount of conciousness required for the use of these tools will bring up lots of things we may change to fix problems with the mechanics of playing and with our understanding and approach to musical performance.
Let me know, please, how it works for you.

Hello Ariel,
I enjoy watching videos explaining learning techniques but to have a written reference to learning techniques is a very valuable tool. So thank you for this booklet.
Cheers
