The only way to prevent poor technique is to be observed and instructed by someone that knows what to look for. Bad technique habits can and already are affecting your sound quality, playing endurance, and rhythmic consistency.

What you already know is a powerful learning tool, but only if an instructor is there to show you the next step. A lesson teacher's explanation of how your experience and ability relates to new skills will make learning much easier.
