In traditional (传统的) education,the teacher may feel that the students are not very grown-up. Usually,teachers are older than students,and teach?ers feel that students are young and do not know much about the world. The teachers feel that they must tell the students what to do most of the time,and that they must also make the students study specific (特殊的) things.

 In open education,the teachers' methods are very different. These teach?ers feel that the students are human beings (人) first,and students second. They expect the students to be responsible for the things that they do,just as adults are. A student's ideas and feelings are just as important as the teacher's. The teacher allows the students to decide what they want to do,and does not make them study what they do not want to. The teacher lets them decide what to study and how much to study. It's very important for the teacher to show how he or she feels about students.

    I began learning the violin when I was nine,and the next year I began studying under Natalie Ghent,who was my teacher until I left high school.

  Once,Mrs Ghent held a concert for her students. I played near the end of it. After I played a while,I forgot the music. No matter how I tried,I couldn't think of it. So I had to stop and looked at the pianist's music. When the whole concert was over,I cried hiding in my overcoat.

  Mrs Ghent came to comfort me. Then she told us about a coming concert,and she hoped I would go there with her. I remember that the concert was on my birthday in March. It was great,as Mischa Elman was going to perform at Carnegie Hall. My teacher decided to buy the best tickets as my birthday pres?ent.

  Carnegie Hall is quite beautiful with all the lights on. I had never been in such a concert hall before,and was impressed by the size as well. I don't re?member what Elman played. I only remember that his playing was beautiful. I have seen films of him in recent years,and have been struck by his perform?ance,but I don't remember the music he played that night. What I remember most is Mrs Ghent whispering to me from time to time that he had forgotten something or played a wrong note,or made some other kind of mistake.

  When I teach students to play the violin now,I tell my students who are in dread of making mistakes that if they aren't going to make a mistake,they will never play beautiful music.
