My personality is highly creative, so I strive to let my creativity flow into my classroom, and I try to use that to my advantage when it comes to inspiring students. I begin every semester with a performance of something I created/composed/wrote over the break, and I constantly try to push my students to be the most creative individuals they can possibly be. Dostoevsky wrote in his classic novel, The Idiot, that "beauty can save the world," and I believe that the beauty of music, combined with education, can accomplish that goal.
