philosophy is that a teacher is responsible for providing an education that is appropriate to the
age, ability, and unique learning style of each student. Students should get a holistic education

lives. Bridget focuses on a strong technical foundation, and giving students the critical thinking
skills to assess their learning both on and away from their instrument.
