Before melody, there was rhythm. One could produce a melody from a bunch of notes spaced in a particular way. And one can
also produce a different melody based on the same set of pitches. As my friend tells me "music is just painting hues of
sound and your canvas is time".

Sir suggested to give more focus on the rhythm instead of the pitch when trying to recover from mistakes. That way, the
mistake would still be of musical value, as differences in pitch are more apparent.

Sir warned me of not observing a "default state of mind" when playing pieces. We both noticed I was wobbling while I
played Czerny, to which I replied it might be because of me playing Haydn this morning. "It's good that you're transparent
with this. Just please be careful to not persist this state of mind in order to preserve your sanity."

I went back to Czerny Op. 599 No. 20 (the fast 16th note passages) and I was having difficulties with the passages and how
to connect them. It must be because I was still familiarizing about [The Gesture](#) that I was committing mistakes.

Sir always reminds me of "The Gesture", I'd like to call it that, which can be likened to opening a cardboard box, or a
present. It gives emphasis on the comfort of the arms while they move laterally in an arc.

Sir told me to give respect to committing mistakes. Once you played a wrong note, you will have left a mark, and the
best course of action you can do is to try to recover gracefully (in other words, putting the nasty stuff under the
carpet).

I needed to work on trying not to be perfect during sessions. Obsession on perfection only breeds self-doubt, which
could hinder one into achieving their goals and unlocking their potentials.

I believe the best teachers always try to bring out the best in their apprentices. They make sure their feedback is
valid, reasoned for as much as possible, and open for re-examination both by the teacher and the student.

A good teacher, in my opinion, will let you perform in a less than ideal manner, while providing you a well-defined avenue
for reflection. "What made you do this", "what do you think is happening", "when encountering X, is it because Y, or is
it because Z" are good questions to ask in order to develop a rational, guided, and data-driven approach to learning.
