Professor Reid’s Teaching Philosophy:

To be an artist, any kind of artist, calls for a certain wakefulness of the spirit, the intellect, the heart and the senses. In my teaching I try to cultivate this wakefulness.

On Precollege Programs:

What do I enjoy about teaching for Precollege Programs? The students! — their enthusiasm, creativity and eagerness to learn. I love to share my knowledge and experience with them.
