Dear Marcia,

Being "paper-trained" is good if one wishes to become a member of a fine
symphony orchestra and play some of the world's finest music.

Different musical skills are required for different kinds of music.
Improvisation takes totally different skills. All kinds of good music can be
created by those who are "paper-trained" AND by those who can create musical
excitement within a nano-second.

I can't help but ask you because "One of [your] UM professors" voices such
strong opinions, why isn't he either playing with a major symphony or
turning the world on fire with his great improv?

Different kinds of fish in different sized gold fish bowls seem to require
different kinds of food. Thank God, someone understood the need for
different sized gold fish bowls!
