Oh Yes!
At LKG (lower Kinder-Garten)... level, I found the similarity in English Medium LKG class and Spiritual LKG classes!

“Finger on your lips” says the
teacher-nee (in Hindi, it is safer to add 'ni' to ensure freedom from
gender related issues! I am no 'Chair-Man' like Mao-jee)..
And then the 'alpha-beta' like things percolate in its hierarchy... (yes, they do everything to kaan-fuse/confuse us, unlike Indian languages where soft-vowels are a preemptive strike on our grey-matter, as a surgical-strike by army!)...

“Finger on your noses” says the
teacher Jee (no gender issues with this 'being' :)... he is both, by
choice)...
And then, the other lessons percolate deeper!
And then, the other lessons percolate deeper!
Both the teachers, never thereafter
insist on fingers be kept at lips/noses... But the process
continues, even without those fingers!
The breath has-to-be balanced without
the use of fingers (it can be looked at as a concession too! Only
those who did not 'sincerely' do that 'finger on nose' properly,
struggle later without its use :)
At Schools, not much to describe...
mostly it is copy-paste... if from memory (hard disk), an assured
'wah-wah'... but if from the next kid, a pun-ish-ment!
At the other school, I dunno.. I just
came out of LKG, and then I am too busy, to even find out as to
'which-class-room' I got pushed into! It is too fuzzy here!
(oh yes... aaj kal/now-a-days...
the format is all 'crumpled-up'... late entrants, so lateral entry
direct degree!.. In ancient days, finger-on-noses was for 2 full
years!)
Nosily yours,

Instantly regressed to those LKG days...
I can not resist mentioning it Sir. My Father, who was a Primary Teacher, initiated me with the very first lesson of learning, as he presented me with 'My Picture Book' saying: "This is your picture book. It is written for you."
I still fail to fathom the depth of those powerful words & the strength of it's impact on my mind...
For, even if now, as I come across any book or an article, I instantly feel those very words ringing in my mind, as if he is saying:
Read it, "as It is written for you".
The very first meditative lesson of life is how delicately put through by a teacher indeed!
Put "fFinger on your lips". (So that you can listen !?)

Failing to take heed of these simple words, how fatefully we forsake the subtlest beauties of life...one fails to understand it !
Thanks for a nice post.
Enjoyed it, putting...finger on nose & finger on lips.
Regards.
"Finger on your nose". (So that you can sense !?)..."
Yes it is about sensing indeed.
The breath, when a finger is very gently but firmly placed on nose just below the bone, it effectively blocks that nose, and we sense the breath through the other.
Alternating thus, our breath gets balanced. Breath being connected, mind balances!
Now, it is receptive for next lesson!
It takes some time, to get a hang of it.
Other factors like posture, diet , etc do help.
