In our school year, every class must give 100% to achieve genuine growth. There’s still time to move ahead and make progress. I divide the year into two terms: January to August, and September to December. After forty years of experimentation, I’ve found this structure to be the most effective. It allows my students to develop real depth in the arts I teach. Each year builds on the last in a continual upward spiral of practical knowledge.
The goal is constant improvement—raising the standard a little higher each year.
