One of the problems with the "individual creativity before grammar" occurs when the student receives a hign grade on a written assignment with no mention by the teacher of any grammatical or spelling errors. How can a student receive an "A" if there are blatant errors? A teacher at my daughter's school had an explanation. She said that her own spelling and grammar is weak, and as a student felt inadequate and intimidated. I find this is typical of many educators. How can a student properly learn the material if they can't express their ideas properly? For example, "I have a pear of shoes on my feat", is this really what educators find to be effective? Very sad indeed. Your comment on musical achievement in a structured environment or self taught is another matter entirely.
