All of Robert Kaddouch's pedagogical theory, which is so creative
in his reflection on creation itself, can be seen as a new
interpretation of the famous formula of Pindar taken over by Nietzsche:
"Become what you are." The pedagogy of creation developed by Kaddouch
has an undeniable existential dimension, since it is a matter of
realizing oneself by creating. This is the reason why this theory is
articulated with a practice constantly present, Kaddouch being also and
perhaps first of all an exceptional pedagogue of the musical creation.
This also explains why this theory articulates centrally the concept of
creation to that of communication: this is the meaning of what is here
called ‘conductibility.’
— Jean-Hugues Barthélémy, director of the CIDES (Paris), associated researcher at the University Paris-Nanterre
In Robert Kaddouch’s book A Pedagogy of Creation: Teaching Students to Communicate through Music,
readers discover how his piano lessons with Peter, Gary, and Elisabeth
gave rise to a profound pedagogical theory and how he became an educator
and theoretician of the ontogenesis of music. He discovered contact
with sound in the young child leads, if the circumstances are favorable,
from exploration to creation and creation, in music as in other arts,
is sometimes a very solitary experience. Robert Kaddouch further
observes and describes another aspect of creation: creation through
communication, and communication through creation, which he calls
“conductivity.” This is indeed another dimension of music. The very
young children approach the piano, with him, by four-handed
improvisation, and in turn, it is the child who trains the adult in
creative imagination.

Robert
Kaddouch provides a highly insightful, lively, and personal portrait of
the pedagogical act and its challenges. His pedagogy of creation
empowers students to uncover their potential in the pleasure of music
making. This approach to music pedagogy, based on improvisation, is
dialogic, empathic, exploratory, and, first and foremost, deeply human. A
source of inspiration for both teachers and students.
— Simone Dalla Bella, University of Montreal
Drawing
on many years of experience as a successful educator, pianist,
improviser, and composer, Robert Kaddouch offers a sincere and serious
presentation of creativity in the mental and emotional realm. Relying
heavily on personal case studies and deep introspection, Kaddouch
reveals a candid look at the possibilities of further deepening our
understanding and interactions as educators with students. The central
thesis, based on his notion of 'conductivity,' introduces readers to a
process that is perennial and transcends one's age or gender, allowing
anyone to go beyond their current limitations. A Pedagogy of Creation: Teaching Students to Communicate through Music is highly recommended for anyone genuinely interested in pedagogy and the creative process.
— Gary Peacock
