Why is private study of music the ideal form of education?
September 2009
No matter how small and select a class, it is still a class of unequal individuals. The only ideal educational situation is the “Private Tutor.” The private music and art teacher can give special and undivided attention to one child at a time. As a result, the teacher knows each child’s special capabilities and can also be a sympathetic friend and confidant when necessary. Private study also teaches the student how to discipline his/her time and mind so that the education at school may be more successful. No other kind of teacher can ever appreciate as fully the uniqueness of each individual child as a private teacher can. If each student were inspired to develop his own potential to its utmost, what a remarkable world this would be! As schools and classes inevitably grow larger, the privilege of having a private teacher grows more precious.
