Feed-forward vs Feed-Back

Dear violin students, here is another way to think about fixing problems in the wrong place. (Remember, the wrong place to fix problems is at the fingers; the right place is in the mind). The idea is "feed-forward", as opposed to "feed-back". Feed-forward is the opposite of feed-back. Feed-back is feeding information about results back into a process or system, after the event, with the goal of improving it with repetition.  It happens "after the fact". Feed-forward is the process of feeding information into the system BEFORE-hand to improve the likelihood of correct action. When you properly plan the logistics of actions that need to happen on the violin, before you actually perform those actions , then you are feeding information forward to positively influence the future. In a way, feed-back is damage control; feed-forward is damage avoidance, or success insurance. Having a good plan for playing actions - sorting out the logistics - is practicing "feed-forward". It is the intelligent way to practice.
