I have found that most formal music institutions tend to deal with spirituality in a more intellectual(academic)way. I hope future musical instutuions will place higher emphasis on ideas similar to Roy's... as I suspect they would have greater impact on students musical ability than running the coltrane matrix ad nauseum.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654651040402715876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13630144.post-29694289959911691472010-01-03T05:49:53.897-08:002010-01-03T05:49:53.897-08:00HI Roy!

I had difficulty understanding, let alone telling others what you teach, but reading the article refreshed my memories and made it even clearer. Thank you for being who you are. I hope you return to Malmö soon.
