Video Transcription

You see, I used to have this student that when they were playing, they would look over here, there. They'd be playing away, looking over here, there. Finally, I drew this little bad sketch of a stick man with a violin.

And I said, where does the sound come from? And he looked at that picture and he goes here. And then I said to him, so why, when you play, So why, when you play, are you looking over there, over there? Shouldn't you be looking where the sound's coming from? Right there. You know what? It worked. And then he was just looking over there.
