One of the best things he taught me was to hear as he hears; this has unlocked many improvements in both my intonation and technique, and pushed me much further than I expected. He's been patient as I've reached for the upper end of repertoire, recently performing Nel Cor, helped me experiment with melding my career in software engineering with my passion for violin, and given advice as I started as a board member of the Artaria String Quartet. I highly recommend Mo to any student willing to put in the time to improve in their craft.
