Got off my backside and started doing this again, galvanized by the fcat the fact that it was a teacher I hadn't seen before teaching locally. I won't go into what I thought of the lesson, that would be unfair ... but I did reaise the practicl difficulties of making an 'on the fly' analysis of someone teaching.
For a strat there are the practicalities. Sittimng their with a notepas taking notes was sure to attract several people asking the "what are you doing, copying moves?". On reflection I should just have said yes ... without having to complicate matters by explaining what and why I was doing it. Again, on reflection, I maybe should have mentioned it to the instructor ... but I couldn't think of a delicate way of putting it ..."Don't mind me. I'm just going to analyse everything you do, nick what is good and note all your bad points to make sure I never do them .... " .... that might not help?
The main problem, though, is that I kept on needing an action replay. I'd miss some of the pictures she was painting or a good phrase to describe movement. Also, sometimes you need to see something several times to pick up on what was missing.
So ... in the end I picked up a few things ... but for 40mins effort I'm not sure what practical use I got from it.
