In 1958, at the start of his performance at the first 'Young People's Concert', Leonard Bernstein posed "what does music mean?" (1958) to the crowd of young children. He proceeded to state that music does not really have a particular meaning. Music is what you percieve it to be.
This relates to studio discussions because students, while trying to achieve perfection, tend to overthink things and end up creating works that weren't required of them because they focus too much on the meaning rather than looking at it from different perspectives.
All things considered, I believe that students should try to worry less about the meaning of an assignment or how to make it perfect and focus more on looking at it from different perspectives and discover new ways to tackle problems. Because at the end of the day nothing is perfect.
