“I believe the highest function of education is to bring about an integrated individual who is capable of dealing with life as a whole.

Teaching for me is an opportunity to awaken in the child the joy of music and the discovery of creativity. I regard each child as an individual with their own particular temperament. I don’t depend on any one method, but prefer to mould the instruction to the needs of the pupil. ”
