How to use this book

Some clues about how the structure leads students forward, with the explanation about how to use it is a) you have a clue, or b) you have no idea but have a group willing to lean. Rick Note: The bits below should be put into the Teaching section should include philosophy of teaching, including clear presentation of blade, starting slowly and with much telegraphing, and "letting the student win". should note some of the things from http://www.salvatorfabris.com/CommonMistakes.shtml especially the practice to not be jerky and to do things in a controlled way.
