Dr. McDonald will often design a curriculum based upon the students needs, which includes creating a written diagnostic of your skills, including musicianship, technique, even stylistic practices. The latest research in learning strategies is employed, and great care is taken to acquire the technique needed to avoid those dreaded "plateaus". The student enjoys a say in their curriculum, too; they are encouraged to "bring to the studio" any music they wish to learn.
