Instructor Philosophy

Keep safe and have fun. Most students learn best through hands-on repetition, not by instructor verbalization. For some, visual/auditory learning complements the learning process. Flexibility, communication and cooperation between students and instructor are the keys!

• Meaning - your style vs their style.
• Kids do not have a problem trying.
• Kinesthetic – Learn by feeling
• Visual – Learn by Observing
• Auditory – Learn by Listening
• Visual Cognitive – Learn by Reading
