GOALS
He has been a teacher since 1991 and has been with Band Leader since its foundation. He believes his role is to help the student develop his own personality, discover his own path and then help him move in that direction. Helping you to take advantage of your personal characteristics, using your strengths to compensate for your weaknesses and turning your weaknesses into strengths and thus being able to make your own unique music.
The teacher must have a good mind to solve problems, know how to recognize them and correct them so that they do not hinder the student's development. And, finally, keep the course balanced between knowledge, which enriches the student and makes him/her more capable, and repertoire, which must be chosen with his/her participation. The student must play what he likes, in addition to songs that exemplify the course.
