On Teaching the Unteachable Luis Zea How to teach in such a way as not only to instruct, but also to bring about an awareness of elusive – yet essential – values in music making, while stimulating the student to find personal and creative solutions to problems? How to prompt that unmistakable, enlightening ‘click’ within a student, and indeed ourselves? Luis Zea suggests that these questions can inform all levels of teaching, and shares the fruits of his own encounters with many influences, from the teaching of the pianist Artur Schnabel to the thought of Karl Popper, from the theatre of Antonin Artaud to the insights of Eastern traditions. The many sources cited act like signposts for further exploration.
