End-gaining: Brute-force

Alexander considers mainly trial-and-error, but there is another very common aproach which I call "brute-force"
When learning piano, a "brute-force" aproach is repetition: play again and again until getting it right.

Exercises, like those for the "independence of the fingers" are one example of this kind of aproach

The diference with "trial-and-error" is that in "brute-force" it is the endless trial of the same alternative.
