It seems there are some folks on the Board who advocate a method of education that inspires students to find their own solutions to problems both technically and musically.

From a post I made earlier today/yesterday:

Quote:

...find an instructor who guides you through the discovery process - but allows you to think through the problem (and come up with the solution) on your own. The goal should always be "understanding" not just "replication."

To me, this didn't imply handing a child a clarinet for the first time and saying, "Well, show me what you got, kid!" Sorry if that's the way it came across.

I personally haven't witnessed many (any?) examples of this error of allowing too much self-discovery.

On the other hand, I have witnessed (and experienced) many examples of the other extreme.

"Dr., I'm having a problem, fix it for me."
