Opinions:

• “The teachers who teach my children in the Arka Music School help them to develop through educating them in such a way that they feel they learn the things they are interested in, and can view their progress. They support the creativity of pupils and increase their self-esteem. They suggest, but do not impose. The teachers are versatile, that's why they are inspirational and flexible, which encourages children to cooperate with their teachers. The teachers provide their students with some flexibility, if it does not interfere with progress in learning. They respect the individuality of every music student and his/her choice, as well as contribute toward the path of their pupils' musical development.”
