Quality 5/5Difficulty 2/5
Professor Karp is a gem of a chamber music coach who cares deeply about his students and who gives great feedback on how to collaborate more fluidly with others in a string ensemble. He truly emphasizes the music as opposed to mere technical considerations; as such, his coachings are informative and highly enjoyable.
