Dr. Lopez' teaching style is one of joyful learning, gentle critique, exhorting students to high expectations, and emphasis on selfless sharing. Central to Dr. Lopez' philosophy is the integration of performance, teaching and composing. For him, he cannot have one without the others. Indeed, maintaining this "holy trinity" of music disciplines is consistent with the living example of the masters who have paved the way for us into the future.
