RE: developing musicians and a musical culture

Ooh, I got this one!
First thing any teacher should do is find out what the student wants to
do--what they consider fun.  It's like exercise--if you don't think about 
it
being work, you are more likely to put yourself into it.
TV and mass media definitely dosn't require enough of the viewer.  But
that's why it's taken hold so firmly.
Just bein' myself,

<snip>
how do we learn (and teach) in such a way that creativity
is encouraged, enthusiasm is maintained, and
we still encourage the discipline and knowledge accumulated
over the years? How do we encourage our culture to -create-?
How do we knock people out of a
"spectator mentality"?
