Thanks for the supportive comments regarding my idea. I do think it will work, however, the final decision will be made by Dave which I personally will support regardless of how I feel.
This leads to the other thing I have noticed as a new member. There is way too much opposition to Dave's method. He is the "conductor" and needs to be followed or the result, as we have seen big time in the last class, is chaos and a total waste of time. It seems that the majority of members agree.
My opinion is that there is a definite method to Dave's madness, if you will. I have only been to two classes and it is as clear as day that Dave can teach every one of us something. So let him do it.
Rather than trying to change the system, our time would be much better spent following his direction.
We are all there to learn, regardless of our experience level and all this interference is detracting from that goal.
If someone is in such dire need of personal attention, I would recommend private lessons because the group is not structured for that.
I'm having fun and can only imagine how much more fun it will be if there is no down time for bickering. It really stops the creative flow.
And on a final note, yeah I paid up and want to learn so buck up.
Thanks very much for the opportunity to post my opinion.
