Teaching Methods and Philosophy

My teaching concept is that I use pre-designed teaching methods, rather than self-designed methods. The reason for this is that I believe professional composers are skilled at designing teaching methods.

 

I prefer to focus on teaching excellence through the use of teaching methods that are tried and true:
