Terence Fletcher is a music instructor who believes fear and humiliation are the only ways to achieve greatness. He throws chairs, screams insults, and tears down his students’ confidence to push them beyond their limits.

Fletcher is manipulative and controlling, justifying his cruelty as necessary for creating legends. His harshest moment comes when he sets Andrew up to fail during a major performance, only to take credit when it succeeds.

Fletcher’s methods leave a trail of broken students, showing that his brilliance is matched by his ruthlessness.
