A discerning “teacher” must be a Musician who understands to act simply as a Humble Guide in function, form, and performance.
A Sensitive Guide is attentive and submissive to how Music is continually compelling the student to Hear the Actual, of the Present Moment, together.
In the final observation, Music does not need teachers; it needs participants in it’s fundamental precepts; Folk Practitioners of the Aesthetic Movements within the Art Form.
My desire is to offer an Independent Phrontistery, manifesting an experience of The Art Form as the fundamental teacher.
After all, the experience of tonic and dominant are innate to our existence; it is our primal human hearing essence.
First
Define the Absolute Present Moment as Song. Sing.
Songs
A musician encounters the Beauty and Aesthetic of their Individual Original Voice within a Community of Sounds and a Heritage of Repertoire. This freedom is The Miraculous Experience from the Very Beginning.
There is no place for egocentric “clever” curricula. There is only wisdom, truth, love, and meekness within the historic traditions and pedagogies of our multifarious cultural precedences; the physical laws that resonate acoustic order do not favor a single time, place, or people.
