BRIAN ROBERTSON
My teaching philosophy
I prefer a student-centered approach that is highly engaging and caters to the interests of the pupil, but is also rigorous and focused on developing literacy-based, comprehensive musicianship.
My favorite thing about teaching
I get to work and play music with student musicians all day, everyday! What do you expect of your students in classes/lessons? I expect that students commit to putting forth their best effort, be persistent and patient with themselves and one another. Learning music and/or an instrument is hard work and it takes time. However, being a dedicated student does pay-off and is very satisfying in the end.
