You make beautiful distinctions between doing and the science behind the doing. Your article reminds me of the old days in math class when one would get marked wrong for having the right answer if the way you got there didn't match the expected process.
So much truthiness in here that can be applied to those who teach subjects other than vocal. And the last paragraph is perfect: "We live in a sad era that prizes aggression, force, disconnection, and at least the appearance of certainty. These qualities limit us and are the bane of artistry. Let us maintain our humanity, our community and connection, our open minds and calm approach when we engage in conversations about the art to which we have dedicated our lives."
