Forthcoming Non-Fiction
Classical minds in an artificial world
— A case for creative and artistic education in the earliest years
— why it is the most important investment a family, a school, or a country can make in the age of AI, and how to make it.
The argument
pianissimo
The world is teaching children to use AI.
Curricula, tools, certifications, budgets. Every system is racing to make children fluent in machines.
mezzo forte
Almost no one is teaching children to become the humans who can use it wisely.
Sustained attention. Patience. Delayed gratification. Listening. Aesthetic judgment. The capacities no model can hold on a child's behalf.
fortissimo
Classical music is the most complete training ground we have.
Not because it produces musicians. Because it produces people who can sit with difficulty long enough to become good at something.
“The future belongs not to those who master AI first, but to those who first master themselves.”
