Really enjoy reading your thoughts and opinions on this subject Garreth!
This one is very interesting and from now on I will take this with and try it out.
Especially the part about them losing that self esteem and not feeling confident to be free and just try something. I recognise that and would love to change that.
I'm really happy to hear that Muriël! In practise I find this approach works well with some students, and less well with others (I have to be careful about using it when working with students who have ADHD, for example), so using it successfully really depends on getting to know your students really well. When it works well, it's great fun — I hope you have some fun with it :)

A great reframe on creating paths for creativity and musical exploration and utilizing often times restless energy!
thanks Amie!
