Comments on: Teaching Seminar: Exploring Persona http://mieatnec.org/blog/2010/01/teaching-seminar-exploring-persona/ News and Stories from Artist-Teacher-Scholars Sun, 18 Dec 2011 19:41:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Arthur Felluca http://mieatnec.org/blog/2010/01/teaching-seminar-exploring-persona/comment-page-1/#comment-15688 Arthur Felluca Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:39:25 +0000 http://mieatnec.org/blog/?p=467#comment-15688 Over the past several weeks, those of in Dr. Scripp's MIE Teaching Seminar class have been discussing this idea of persona as it relates to the Artist-Teacher-Scholar model supported by NEC's MIE program. The realization that the roles of artist, teacher, and scholar are much more synthesized than they might first appear was a bit of a breakthrough for me. Specifically, I used to perceive a much greater disconnect between artist and teacher, thinking that they were clearly separate roles. However, over the past few years I have come to realize that this was an uninformed view and that, in fact, the roles of artist and teacher are very much connected and there are numerous examples of this relationship in the music world and society in general. The role of scholar speaks to the desire to investigate, analyze and learn, and this completes the framework of Artist-Teacher-Scholar.
