Can music be taught as transformation? ... In what ways further, besides, for example, teaching the techniques for making music moving in Scottish Trad Music in Scottish music schools, could this be learned?
(And how also do the cultures of a Stanford or a MIT do this as well, I ask as an anthropologist :) ... and re WUaS's online music schools and and universities would like to combine transformation and online university ethos to inform a far-reaching approaches to teaching and learning ...
The Grateful Dead actually did this with their shows, and Mickey Hart and all of them were conscious of this as well ...
And living in the SF Bay Area and in Canyon, these transformation "memes" (replicating cultural units) are still in the air for me ... as we get further and further from the 1960s and 1970s ...
Interested here in exploring transformation through music-making re the Grateful Dead's inspirations and perhaps in playing music for Scottish Country Dancing ... and then in exploring this in WUaS's online Music Schools ...

Canna: Liking GD drummer's Mickey Hart's Twiter description: "I play the drums. Transformation is the object. Member of the mind bending, spiritual adventure known as the Grateful Dead," Great too to see at least 3 other Grateful Dead band members on Twitter: Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzmann (Check out a picture of many of them here) and Phil Lesh, Check out too the Grateful Dead wiki subject page at World University and School, which will grow with time and wiki-ness, How can WUaS even teach and learn the "transformation" Mickey Hart writes about in online jamming and even in the WUaS music school ...?, Such transformations can be most enjoyable ... :), See too this recent "Viola: 3 great recent articles about Harbin ... " blog post re some articles about what the Grateful Dead were doing in the Harbin Hot Springs' kitchen ... (and about my upcoming Harbin ethnographic book), Start here at 47:15 for Mickey Hart on drums into a kind of transformation
