DESCRIPTION:*Abstract*\n\nIn this lecture\, I discuss how motor learning c
 an contribute to enhance music teachers’ \neffectiveness and how its pri
 nciples can be applied independently of the method they \nuse. Initially\,
  I will consider the need for teachers to be systematic and have a solid \
 nbackground to base their teaching on. I will analyse the characteristics 
 of those teachers\n who have participated in a case study that I have deve
 loped as part of my doctoral \nthesis\, exploring differences between thei
 r methods\, pedagogies\, and approaches. Then I will describe some aspects
  of motor learning and their influence in teachers’ practice. I will con
 clude by showing the data collected in the case study and establish compar
 isons between the teaching habits of the aforementioned teachers.\n\n*Bio*
