He believes in a flexible approach to each student since everyone has different ways of relating to both music and instruction. Dr. Neyman is aware of the variety of experiences in each individual and looks to discover and develop their strengths while ameliorating their weaknesses. Every student, regardless of background, can improve his or her musical ability. Furthermore, each student has a different learning style, and he strives to find the best approach for each.
