Hideko's teaching philosophy centres on developing each student's unique artistic voice while maintaining the highest technical standards. Key aspects of her approach include:
1. Emphasis on the great Russian school of violin playing, inherited from Milstein, combining technical rigour with expressive power
2. Focus on developing a solid technique as the foundation for full musical expression
3. Encouraging creative problem-solving in practice rather than mindless repetition
4. Nurturing the student's individual style and interpretation
5. Mentorship beyond just instrumental skills, including building self-confidence, career guidance and introductions to people of note in the music industry.
Hideko believes in challenging her students to reach their full potential while respecting their artistic choices. Her goal is to prepare students not just for performances, but for sustainable, fulfilling careers as professional violinists. (Networking Soirees are held for advanced students). Hideko believes progress is of utmost importance, and often offers extra lesson time at no additional fee, to ensure correct progress is made.
