Reflection

At the moment I am reflecting on two aspects of this experience:
1) I am amazed at the huge array of materials, videos and most importantly other people who want to share their knowledge and experience of harmonica playing.
2) This vast array of materials on a whole range of aspects of playing create their own problem, where do i start. Someone once described this feeling as "rabbit in the headlights". Not sure what to do or where to start so the feeling is of shock, surprise uncertainty.

Interestingly this is the same reaction I witnessed in a group of learners I was working with who embarked on the Transforming Learning in the 21st century course I designed. In that case they expressed the "rabbit in the headlights" feeling but by the end of the course the learning journey they had been on was very powerful.

So how do I make sense of this......
If I have to take responsibility for the choice of my next step how does this affect my drive/motivation.
If I have a teacher to tell me what to do next is this to ensure small steps of success to maintain motivation
Or as in my other work being the one with the knowledge and experience have I identified key concepts that are essential before moving onto more complex themes.

If I focus on single note in the harmonica will I still get to my destination?
