I want my students to be thoughtful and creative in their work, demonstrating persistence, commitment and character. I want them to absorb and master a wide repertoire of material and make it their own. Most importantly, I want my students to develop not only as musicians, but also as individuals, each with unique gifting and potential. Ultimately, I want my students to know more than I do and realize that the value of acquired learning increases only as much as it is shared.
