Musicianship requires a lot: very good ear, perhaps acquired perfect pitch, perhaps superb rhythmic sense very good objective taste
plus: listen, listen, listen plus: store the listened musical pieces well, so to find the data for reproduction purpose plus: musical understanding, acquired by reading scores & hear they realized to sound the same time, but no musical instrument touched & no record player of any type turned on. plus: understanding the arts in general, developing a sense of symmetry, progression & tension & relax; understanding colors & setting them into relation to acoustical sensations (sounds). plus: performance technique, performance routine, performance discipline plus: comprehensive knowledge about the music writing (composing) system, harmonic system, bigger phrasing to the mini phrasing. plus: being exposed to music from the very early years of life A very good teach has all this & is able to transfer it to the students & motivate them to follow his or her example, using their brain & phantasy. ##################################################################### Am 11.02.2011 um 10:25 schrieb Lawrence Yates: > I'm not sure you can teach musicianship but you can, to a point, teach a > damn good imitation.
