"Creativity for All"
Franz Liszt once said, "Technique should flow from spirit, not mechanics."  How can we teach all aspects of music in ways that invite inspiration
and delight?  Can technique, music theory, literature, ensemble, improvisation, composition, and arranging all be learned in creative, musical
ways?  s.  Creativity is for all students, all teachers, all aspects of music, at all times.-       Forrest Kinney
