Lindberg’s primary goal in this area is to serve as an artist-in-residence that essentially offers an exciting opportunity for “re-education”. In essence, helping others understand more about who they truly are and how they can creatively express that uniqueness. By engaging in learning that moves beyond commonly subsumed notions of history, tradition and any fixed parameters for creative expression, he teaches a perspective that invites people to find modes and techniques that enhance their own distinct originality. Forging pathways towards blending original voices into cohesive groups and ensembles is a crucially connected aspect of the teachings. Educational forums are presented in varied formats, for people of all ages and backgrounds. These presentations are highly successful in both standard educational institutions and alternative settings.
Lindberg’s sharing of his own experience of learning by directly creating as a working artist and collaborating with other top professionals, is the focus of his educational outreaches. What being a growing, evolving and actively working artist entails, and how creative music positively impacts and offers something powerful and important to humanity as a whole, is key to what Lindberg elucidates as a “re-educator.”
Using music performance and composition as a core study to branch off from in myriad directions is the general design of his various teaching programs.
