In Their Own Words

"I want [my students] to understand the process of learning the elements of music in the deepest way, so they can forget them while creating their art."

"Having played with all sorts of musicians and styles helps me isolate the elements that make a musician able to function in different settings while still maintaining their own artistic personality."
