This video deals with Realistic Feedback, Planning, and Pacing. Feedback, especially, is so important and often poorly handled in jazz teaching for spurious, albeit possibly well-meaning, reasons. In an area where "success" or "improvement" aren't usually obvious to students, helpful feedback from a teacher is vital. To avoid doing this, verges on abusive and dishonest. For example, a tennis player knows immediately whether or not their serve lands accurately where they aimed. Even without teacher intervention, that feedback is obvious and helpful. But in jazz, how can someone not already steped in the music know whether a line or solo they just played was effective, in style, in time, or whatever? It needs an expert eye/ear to see/hear. Planning and good pacing are just fundamentals of good teaching. Here's a great recent video by RUclips channel @Veritasium on the steps needed for expertise, beyond the "10,000" hours thing. It includes the importance of feedback, plus lots more: ruclips.net/video/5eW6Eagr9XA/видео.htmlsi=rioYRtpp498qHD2J
Hi Saul, I'm just a music lover trying to learn to play the guitar. The anormous amount of material available is not at all a good thing if you just jump from one lesson to another, from one channel to another. The biggest problem is that there is never a ‘plan’ / ‘agenda’ for teaching on the channels. Thank you very much Saul!

Thank you very much Saul!
It is definitely better to have a plan and proceed in a way that cumulatively build knowledge over time in an organised, efficient way.
Excellent Tips! ❤
Thank you. All these things make teaching & learning so much more effective and efficient.
