What happens when the birds of creativity are uncaged?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My main passion is music. \u00a0In the 1960s, the idea of being free exploded in the music industry. \u00a0Let’s see what happened when my favourite group was given freedom in the studio!<\/p>\n

The Beatles<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the beginning of their recording career, The Beatles were guided by their producer, George Martin. \u00a0A school teacher type figure to them, he was in control of the production of their first album, “Please, Please Me”. \u00a0Here’s a track:<\/p>\n

Great, I am sure you will agree. \u00a0By 1966, however, The Beatles were demanding more creative control. \u00a0Being aware of their exceptional talent, George had given them more control in the studio; he had become more of a facilitator in the studio, helping enhancing their ideas and also providing support when required. \u00a0However, George knew that to really express themselves, they needed to be given freedom in the studio. \u00a0Check out what happened:<\/p>\n

The change was remarkable; George Martin, the facilitator, was instrumental in their development.<\/p>\n

Who is brave enough to be the George Martin of the classroom? \u00a0Be the facilitator and give gifted students freedom in the classroom and witness what exceptional talent can create:)<\/p>\n

Please post any other examples from other disciplines to demonstrate what happens when exceptionally talented animals are give the freedom to express themselves.<\/p>\n
