Andrew,

Wonderful topic.

At some point in my first lesson with students at either McGill or CalArts I clearly state that I can't teach them the trumpet, but I can certainly teach them how to teach themselves.

Students spend an hour per week with their teacher and ca. 21 hours per week alone in a practice room. It seems pretty clear to me where the energy should come from. . .

Best,
EC
