Creative Chats With Alyssa Lawson (How Do We Teach Creativity to the Next Generation?)


Listen Later

This is a recording from a series for the podcast at the Mosesian Center for the Arts called Creative Chats. I sat down for a live conversation with cellist and educator Alyssa Lawson to discuss the question: How do we teach creativity to the next generation?

Alyssa shares her experiences as a Suzuki cello teacher for youth and teaching her own kids cello, the importance of building basic skills to even allow creative expression, getting beginners through "the dip", dealing with different types of learners and personalities, and the ultimate balance of teaching while not getting in the way of the student's creativity.
