Oh, and both types of teachers have helped me over the years. Jake was great to me and for me. Teachers that merely isolated flaws and gave me exercises to fix them worked well, too. But Don Little taught me using both ways (THAT must be where I got that from...) and he helped me the most of all. I owe him a big debt - I owe him my job. I went to Jake after I had had my job for a few years, and he made my playing "say" things on a much more regular basis.

While the process-type of teacher really helped me, the product-type made it have meaning to me (and hence the audience). For what it is worth, I have more vivid memories of the goal-oriented things that I got from Don and Jake.
