Why do you enjoy teaching at Cabrini? I enjoy teaching at Cabrini because of the students. I’ve never taught in such a diverse setting before or taught students from such diverse ethnic backgrounds. I enjoy witnessing how the students act with one another socially. They are very encouraging, nice to one another and work together well. I also enjoy teaching at Cabrini because of the feeling I get knowing I imparted something about music in their eyes or when they leave my classroom saying I enjoyed music today!
How would you describe your teaching style and methods? My teaching style and methods are contemporary, yet traditional. Coming from a very structured musical background, I try to implement new ways of learning and communication with students.
