Comments from students over the years:
Susan:
If you take a Dwight Diller workshop, do it because you would like to learn what he can teach you. No, he will not teach a broad based stylistic program, but he will teach what he knows which is drive, sensitivity to the rhythm of a particular tune and emphasis on right hand power as well as West Virginia lore. In our workshop, he was supportive while teasing us and certainly gave us our money’s worth. I did not experience him as being mean to anyone. Of course if you want to have a big argument with him about his beliefs that may subtract time from his actual teaching. We had lots of fun and learned plenty.
