Teaching Philosophy: Damien prefers a no-nonsense approach to teaching. He addresses problems as they occur, attacking the fundamentals of music. His philosophy is that tone is everything. If the tone is solid, then people will want to hear you. He also wants every student to work on music they love to play. Some of the lesson will focus on any music that is on the student’s wish list. The balance is to also work on fundamentals and to relate the wish list to the fundamentals so that maximum learning begins.
