We work with a wide range of ages and levels (preschool to adults, beginners to professionals) and we respect that each student learns at their own pace.
Our pedagogy is modelled after natural kinaesthetic, aural, and linguistic learning processes AND takes into account individual learning styles (which includes the effect of environmental factors on learning opportunities).
This is more than following the progressive books or repertoire lists of any given method or system. It is knowing the strengths and weaknesses of each method, being able to fill in any missing parts, and understanding what each individual student needs at this moment in their development.
Over 40 years each of applied experience, formal training in performance, pedagogy, and psychology, and working with hundreds of unique students has given us tools to analyze situations and strategies to help students reach their goals.
