The third interesting observation was during a cello class today. The teacher was trying to get the students to reign in their youthful exhuberance during a piece, and she deliberately introduced a constraint in order to get them to "feel" what she was trying to teach. She got them all to turn the bow around so they were playing it the wrong way around and then to put their grip really close to the end and only play on that part. They were then allowed a little more space and then to play normally again - mission accomplished.
