Teaching

 

 

I had the fortune to have studied with truly great teachers. I am forever grateful to their dedication and generosity. It is my duty to pass along  what I learned from them  with the utmost seriousness and care. 

 

Learning is an unending  process which is enhanced by curiosity, enthusiasm and exposure to the great masters. This area of the site will be updated often and will include articles, files and other useful information which hopefully will be helpful to all.

 

Here are some interesting and useful sites and videos:​
