Agree with the exception that at some time, precision can be an overwhelming goal so driving to lack of naturality . Improvisation requires of precision but this can be an obstacle to the first.

I've seen it on after eight years career of my son 26 yrs old at Univ. School of Music where he's learning classic guitar.

Best,

Rafael

Sorry, but I must disagree. I have taught creative lighting design to many graduate and undergraduate students from Japan and other eastern countries and they are as creative as their western colleagues. In fact, they usually have fewer discipline issues and are more focused which usually make them more accomplished students.

You may be mistaking creativity with their desire for precision. And we know that in music and art, you have to learn to be precise before you can improvise.
