You have every right to teach them what you prefer and why, but try not limit them with your own preferences or prejudices. What works well for one person may not work for another - make sure the student gets to know all of their options. >> I couldn't agree more. I will certainly tell my students how feathered technique is more universally accepted. I may even teach the course feathered. I just needed to clarify the BCU / ACA requirements for certification. I agree further that it's important to teach both the BCU and the ACA version of various techniques. There's no such thing as too much information. They will choose what works for them. Thanks for your input.
