I'll never forget a piano course I took when I was attending the Community College of Philadelphia. It was a "class" piano couse where about 20-25 people were seated around keyboards. Each keyboard had headphones and we were supplied with a standard piano textbook.
The course lasted 4 months or so and I learned how to play triads with both hands. I also learned how to read treble and bass clefs.
I can't say that I was thrilled with this course. In fact, I remember thinking how boring it was. And dry. Why couldn't we learn something that would allow creativity in?
I guess most "teachers" don't think you can be creative in music until you spend about 2 years learning what they consider to be the basics. This is all nonsense and only serves to mystify music and make it unaccessible to the masses.
