In Their Own Words

"My teaching style is interactive; the student(s) and I partner in the learning process."

"I hope my students will come away from my classes with some new knowledge and insights, enthusiasm for the topic, tools for further self-guided learning, and lots of questions they want to answer."

"Berklee students enter the program with a degree of focus seen in other vocational school attendees, but Berklee provides an additional breadth and depth of education, in every aspect of music creation, performance, production, and marketing plus the liberal arts that enables Berklee grads to succeed in life and in music."

"Approximately 50 percent of my professional time is spent as a practicing physician taking care of patients. The remainder is spent doing medical research and teaching. I believe that both good health and good education arise from asking good questions, compiling good information to answer them, and then making the best possible decisions with the information at hand. This approach is what I hope to model and impart to my students."
