There are not many people that I would consider an influence om my life, but I am glad to say that Mr. Quintana is one of them. He has constantly helped and encouraged me to work towards my goals. He has a very creative and fun version of teaching, which involves a lot of hands-on learning. This hands-on learning helps me to work towards making myself and my work better. He was the one who helped me start learning the piano and music. This learning is fun because our lessons revolve more about being creating something than some random musical theory lesson. Overall, Mr. Quintana has been a large, happy, and positive influence in my life.
