[testimonials design=”classic” backgroundcolor=”” textcolor=”” random=”yes” class=”” id=””][testimonial name=”Margaret Coote” avatar=”female” image=”” image_border_radius=”” company=”Violist, Teacher and Performer” link=”” target=”_self”]The CAD method develops the relationship between the player and the instrument in a very special way. In creating his or her own music, the student learns and experiments with every aspect of the instrument and technique in a fun, creative context. The instrument becomes his or her own, a vehicle for a voice. In improvising, the student, the musician, and the teacher discover — perhaps for the first time, perhaps again — that they speak the language of music.[/testimonial][testimonial name=”Judith Fletcher” avatar=”female” image=”” image_border_radius=”” company=”Violinist and Teacher” link=”” target=”_self”]From what I have seen, the CAD students seem to all share certain characteristics: A love of the music, their instrument, and what they are doing. A warmth, supportiveness and respect toward one another. Wonderful concentration and freedom of movement and expression. Sensitivity – a musical sensitivity within themselves and a sensitivity to the group and other individuals – both musically and personally. Self-acceptance and a comfort with performing.[/testimonial][testimonial name=”Kevin Jacobs” avatar=”male” image=”” image_border_radius=”” company=”Pianist and Teacher” link=”” target=”_self”]A CAD student carries much of the freedom he has learned through improvising into the other music he is studying. I saw many students playing with beautiful legato–students who would perhaps not be able to have such a sound if it were strictly ‘taught.’ It also makes a student less afraid to experiment with musical ideas. Also, they probably learn more useful theory than any traditional student.
