The other day, my mandolin teacher told me that he could teach technique, but musicality was the “one thing he couldn’t teach.”
This idea really stuck with me! I teach visual art to kids, and in my field—at least among the people I work with-- we generally consider creativity and interpretation to be teachable skills.
I’m interested in what other mandolinists think. How do you define musicality? Do you think musicality is teachable? Have you successfully taught a sense of musicality, to yourself or someone else, and how?
