you cannot teach creativity - not thru formal education - its a lesson learned thru trial and error with a large dose of encouragement to help ease a persons mind .
i guess a definition of creativity would be too subjective , as each person creates their own ideal of what words actually mean .
i think in teaching people we make our first mistake by simply teaching our mistakes to them . whenever ive done any teaching in the past , ive tried to just stick to the theoretical and technical side of music and not impose a particular 'way' of playing upon the person .
its too like trying to teach someone to be me - which would be hell for them ! lol
what im trying to say is that creativity CAN be learned only thru encouragement and promotion of self belief - that is the hardest lesson !
