2007 HCAMP Student Quotes: "You are a brilliant teacher. The gift you have given me this week is a greater appreciation of the violin through a deeper understanding of the music... You involved every one of us actively in every class - and we are of very disparate playing abilities. The first day you asked what you could do for me. You did all of that and more. You understood my playing ability better than I did." "The greatest gift a teacher can give his students is inspiration. Thank you for the gift." |
