I would like to teach music. It's weird the way they teach music in schools like Julliard these days.
In school, I guess I was a difficult, know-it-all type of student... I was always complaining that music education was too academic.
[As a kid] I felt it was really weird that music schools behaved like a conveyor belt to make performers for those symphony orchestras. If you were really good and practiced your violin for a few hours a day for ten years you might be invited to this VIP elite club. For me music was not about that. It is about freedom and expression and individuality and impulsiveness and spontaneity. It wasn't so Apollonian; it was more Dionysian.
