I consider the greatest and most rewarding aspect of teaching to be seeing and hearing a student gain the ability to play an instrument and thereby to become a musician.

In all these cases, the student has shown their unique approach to music, and I feel it is important to acknowledge these accomplishments before offering suggestions to improve. Read More
