Stanley Chepaitis has an amazing mix of technical genius, love for the art of creating music, and compassion for his students and colleagues!
His teaching is solution driven, the results are fantastic!!
He is driven to revive the old tradition of artist and composer (a tradition threatened with extinction). His compositions and improvisations are breaking new ground. They are exciting, refreshing, and delightful!! His compositions are making a significant contribution to the new string literature available with numerous solo, chamber, and orchestral compositions.
