In her own words: "It is a privilege to introduce students to the beauty of music and the thrill of playing the violin. An added benefit to studying a musical instrument is that it teaches concentration and how to approach learning generally. I emphasize how to break down difficulties into smaller elements that can be focused upon and improved, which is actually the way that professional musicians learn. I always provide my students with background knowledge about music repertoire, theory and history, all of which help students put into context the music they are learning." --Constance Meyer |
