As an instructor, Dr. Bermudez admires and supports Frances Clark's pedagogical approach and shares her favorite quote: "My primary goal as a piano teacher is to create a climate in which my students can experience continual musical, intellectual, and emotional growth, and to become increasingly dispensable to them in the process. Therefore, everything I do as a teacher, and every other teaching goal, relates directly to the first, most basic objective – to help my students grow by and for themselves."
