We all learn in slightly different ways. Knowing your own style or the style of your students and adapting really speeds up learning. Some people will tell you that they need to write things down before they learn them while others have to try things out before they start to learn. Some people learn really well from seeing a demonstration on a video while others simply won’t get what you’re trying to do.
Here’s a couple of quick examples of the difference. Some people can learn to play golf by watching great players swing a golf club. They can see body positions and tempo and then replicate what they see. Others see what others do but can’t replicate it. Instead they need help to actually feel what their body should be doing. They learn from the feel of a good shot. Golf drills and training aids work better for these people.
As a teacher it’s hard to adapt everything individually. The answer is to use multiple methods of teaching and experimenting to see what works best. As a student, it’s to your advantage to pay attention to how you like to learn and then seek out that type of instruction.
