It is Dr. Fields cumulative observation that often students more readily master a task through the repeated use of applied methods; one learns to dance by practicing the dance. He set very high standards for his students by stimulating them intellectually and guiding them creatively. He is always trying to develop exceptional artists, educators and scholars of the performing arts. As an educator he gives his intellectual best and his students in turn should come to the table hungry for enlightenment. II Timothy 2:15 KJV.
