Alisher Latif-Zade - Educator. His Motto, Regulations (Rules) and Methods of the Approach to the Composer student
01). As for me the musical lesson or lecture is a creative process where there is no teacher and students, but there are senior and younger colleagues who
create in common this process of creativity.
02). For me creative growth of the student is defined not by quantity of the learnt homework, but by quality of employment and display of his creative activity
in any process..
03). I should always take into account interest of the student and direct him on his way, chosen by him: (classics stile, minimalism, alleotoric, jazz, a serial music.)
04). Right from the start of educational process the teacher should involve the student in various actions; to include his compositions in concert programs,
festivals. Is to allow to perform their compositions to the American, European and Russian musicians.
