What have you found with when to start students on this concept?

Personally, I feel that it depends on the student and if they show an interest in developing in that direction, but is that something you teach all your students?

Definitely, I think the student must really be interested in that way of doing it :)

I myself isn't too worried about mastering that more difficult way but I find that at least it makes my fingers nice and independent, ready for the standard way.

I actually haven't shown this to any student, which might be a good idea to see how people respond to it.
