David's teaching style:

He emphasizes both the creativity of his students and their acquisition of skills and believes that mixing experience levels in his classes allows students to grow together and progress faster.  He values the search of personal voice in his students and encourages them to take risks and do research.

David loves EAC because . . .

It is a real community with a human quality where people respect and trust each other and are able to work together.
