I believe that I'm an understanding and kind teacher, but I will also be strict enough where students will end up slacking off. It's important that students advance at an appropriate pace - I don't want students to end up wasting their money, their time, and my time.

I believe in teaching future string musicians there is only one way to make the best sound and teaching how to do this from the beginning.
