John Cage’s 10 Rules for Students and Teachers

Around 1967, or 68 Sister Corita Kent wrote up these rules that then became the rules for the entire art department at The Immaculate Heart College. It was popularized by John Cage, the avant grade composer, who wrote the 10th rule.

1: Find a place you trust, and then try trusting it for awhile. 2: General duties of a student - pull everything out of your teacher; pull everything out of your fellow students. 3: General duties of a teacher - pull everything out of your students. 4: Consider everything an experiment. 5: Be self-disciplined - this means finding someone wise or smart and choosing to follow them. To be disciplined is to follow in a good way. To be self-disciplined is to follow in a better way. 6: Nothing is a mistake. There's no win and no fail, there's only make. 7: The only rule is work. If you work it will lead to something. It's the people who do all of the work all of the time who eventually catch on to things. 8: Don't try to create and analyze at the same time. They're different processes. 9: Be happy whenever you can manage it. Enjoy yourself. It's lighter than you think. 10: "We're breaking all the rules. Even our own rules. And how do we do that? By leaving plenty of room for X quantities."
