He enjoys teaching students of all ages, from young beginners as early as three to older adult learners. Albert’s teaching philosophy emphasizes the development of a beautiful tone and sound, believing that the more students love their sound, the more they will be inspired to play and practice. He is dedicated to helping students find their unique voice and express themselves artistically.
“Playing the violin is a special way we can search for beauty and truth. I inspire students to keep searching, discovering, and exploring. We all have an innate ability to create and to express ourselves artistically. I bring out these natural gifts in my students.”
