There is no perfection in music. Perfection is an absolute, and artistic endeavors deal with too many subjectives. Excellence, rather, is what artists should strive for.

On Practicing: ‘It’s not how much, but how’.

-Robert Dan

Books & Materials Needed

Depends on the student. New students should bring with them all the materials they have most recently used, so I can get a sense of what’s been addressed and how to approach further study.
