Description:

Norman Krieger, a Professor of Keyboard Studies at USC's Thornton School, discusses the various responsibilities that a music teacher has to his or her students - from helping them become the concert musician they want to be, to helping them find their niche in whatever area of music is their true calling. He also discusses the responsibility of a teacher to help their students understand the traditions and artistic goals of a piece, composer or genre, and by doing that to make those students complete musicians in as many ways as possible.
