Pianist Mitsuko Uchida doesn’t believe in competitions. But she has a foundation to help musicians. “I don’t teach because I hated being a student myself.” So how does she get involved in a practical way? “Well, I make music with them, of course! Isn’t that the only way to learn? When I really like a young player, I invite him or her to rehearse with me, and then maybe if things go well, we give a little concert somewhere not too important.”
