Common errors: observe before correcting

Transform a general impression into a describable defect and check if a correction really improves the passage.

Reading: approximately 2 min

Describe instead of judging yourself

“I’m bad” doesn’t provide any avenues for work. “My foot readjusts after arrival” designates a moment that the teacher can observe. Separate the visible action from your supposed explanation. An imbalance does not automatically prove a lack of strength; multiple organizations can produce the same result. Sometimes the first step forward is to ask a more specific question.

Locate the moment when this changes

A hand finishes too early, the gaze leaves the direction or the support becomes unstable: ask when the change appears. A fault located in the transition cannot necessarily be corrected by only working on the final positions. Take the passage again slowly and keep the same start. If each test changes rhythm and instructions, comparison becomes difficult.

Avoid collection of fixes

Receiving five hints at the same time can make the next repetition unreadable. Choose with the teacher a priority point and a sign of improvement. The priority point is not necessarily the most visible in a photo: it can be what determines what happens next. Repeat a few tries, then check the result before adding a new difficulty.

Retest in full passage

A successful on-site correction must then be placed back in the sequence. If the fault reappears, this indicates the real difficulty; This does not cancel out the work done. Compare the same passage in similar conditions. Keep a correction that improves the given objective, rather than a modification that only makes the image more consistent with your memory.

Check understanding

Should we correct everything we notice immediately?

See answer

No. Prioritizing observations allows you to check the effect of one correction at a time.
