Rather than an actual teaching method, we could call it a kind of "manual" for optimizing various studies, based on my experiences, both as a musician and as a teacher, to give you advice (and avoid unnecessary waste of time and various mistakes) to advance in level, and, why not, make music your profession. This book unfortunately will not be translated into other languages. The topics covered are:
