Cannot stress the value in facilitating that initial engagement. BUT it does not excuse the teaching – without the guidance, tasks, and facilitation of learning, you may as well be blowing seeds in the wind and hoping it will grow a garden.
Of course not everything is on a reading list, but it can be a door – take the open music library: I put it on the reading list as something for them to engage with.
Making the first time easy and successful is SO IMPORTANT and then they can carry on from there – can go back, can copy links for own bookmarks… add to own blogs. It is a tool to train skills.
Everyone needs to navigate, find material, compile, curate, and create. This is a sequence for all students, not just for my musicians.
