By the Art Form

Music must be “taught” by a rich experience through the art form.

Analogies may give intellectual, conceptual, and philosophical perspective to “the student” by referencing relatable experiences to the pupil; this is not music.

Therefore, any postulated analogy must be considered as a step further away from, and not a source of, the actual experience of being formed by the art form.
