Though extremely important, that's all surface Gary. What is going on in the mind - how does the student view the problem, what do they see, is what's fundamental.

I agree with keyboardklutz that that checklist is almost a list of symptoms rather than what I would consider to be 'fundamentals' - which is not to say that any of them should not be checked off, simply that they are not the foundational aspects (the way I see it). But I'll go and have a think, and maybe modify my hardline position on this....

I suppose one of my fundamentals is to explain how muscles can't 'push', only pull. After the student (Socrates style) demonstrates the truth of this for themselves (by doing a vertical 'push'up against a wall), we sit at the piano and muse 'How to get the keys to go down without pushing (because we know we can't push)?' hopefully ever after the pupil doesn't see the keyboard as something they 'poke' or 'press'.

What is going on in the mind - how does the student view the problem, what do they see, is what's fundamental. Agreed, but these deeper things can be explored infinitely better in lessons. For that this medium is extremely poor.
