Examples include spans of a 13th or more in one hand for solo piano, 6 or more music channels for NES music (note that the NES is not compatible with Famicom chips that can increase the number of music channels), and low C for piccolo. | |

| Jul 23, 2018 at 1:13 | comment | added | user39614 | Though the parallels are very interesting, art should not be thought of or taught as science, and the traditional stance on this seems to have been that craft can be taught, but art can only be learned. Maybe the best you can do is provide tools and a model for inquiry. It sometimes feels like "fact-based" vs "opinion-based" has become a hollow soundbite: the opinions of those who have devoted much time and thought to a subject are valuable. I think that one role of a teacher, whether of mathematics or of music, is to lead by example a critical inquiry. | |

I imagine that the same is true of painting. You can teach one how to use light, shadow, perspective, etc to create a scene but the artist is free to use them as they please, even to misuse them in a sense. | |
