Very odd article to me and not particularly fond of what it's reaching for as a concept. I mean, I think the premise being promoted is debatable from an Educational Research perspective, which I got familiar with in graduate school. Honestly I kind of bristle at the implication being done at the bottom of basically letting a child/student/trainee wander through the forest of music in the name of learning abstraction the hard way, because, you know, experts aren't good teachers. With something like guitar, I'd argue anything but and expert makes a mediocre or even poor teacher because of the nature of the objective. It's not against the rules to reply a student's question with "I don't know the exact answer to that, but I will get back to you" but I'd like to think those are infrequent asides in an otherwise useful exchange where the teacher/prof actually knows the ins and outs of things and can explain them because they had to learn them too. Then we start getting into issues of diversity in learning styles and the conversation gets a lot more complex than what this piece asserts. Good food for thought and a neat topic, but I'd pass on endorsing its conclusion(s) as stated herein.
