I'm glad you're inspired. Lately, I've been training a lot in calisthenics, and one thing I've noticed is that I'm also focusing on Shu. I'm focusing on the basics because I know that until I master this, I won't be able to level up safely and effectively.
I was surprised by this way of looking at the stages of learning and discovering that it makes sense on a psychological level. The best thing is its potential to be transferred to practically any discipline. We are all teachers and learners, it just depends on the subject.
Learning piano after being away from it for over 50 years is an amazing experience. I'm both surprised at how much I learned and retained from my childhood music education, both from tutors and school teachers, as well as the musical culture around me. Now I'm applying that to my current quest for musical proficiency. Frustration comes in constantly, but that first stage, "obey-shu," is holding me steady. Thank you for this article.
What you say is very interesting, I really think we can all relate. It is not easy to have the patience to just follow instructions until we acquire enough skill, we always tend to rush and want to learn freely, even though it is much less efficient.
Thanks for sharing! It is resonating a lot. I'll go back to basics Shu

Master the fundamentals; there's no rush.
This is a really interesting concept. Thanks for sharing!
