My teaching style is flexible and is contingent upon the wants and needs of the particular student.. in a nutshell my aim is to cultivate enjoyment for the art and not stifle a student with some stuffy old concepts or ideals however.... It cannot be disputed that the best art is objective and requires a distinct and focused approach..Music is of the highest order in the realm of arts and should be treated with respect and devotion; deviating from this credo produces inferior results ..I also believe that is it's important to explain to a pupil why it is suggest they do something a certain way.
