The methods I use in my teaching are a mix between Suzuki, Paul Rolland, and Mimi Zweig. Within these methods the strongest characteristics can be found, aural skills, freedom of movement in playing, tension free playing, building a strong foundation, creating an atmosphere for mistakes to be encouraged, and enjoyment in performing.
