"The pursuit of broader skills" at times seems like a code word for "don't teach anything that requires effort and focus, either by the student or by the teacher". And yet without mastering basic skills, i.e. the mechanics, learning is severely limited. This is true of mathematics, it is true of languages and it is certainly true of music. Discipline, commitment and structure in a learning environment does not stunt; rather, it challenges, it strengthens and for those willing to make the effort, it provides achievement far beyond what is usually possible in a free form environment.
