Introduction: I have been teaching violin, viola, cello, and upright bass privately for 5 years. I have been playing cello for 17 years, and have performed in the Cleveland and Chicago area in different orchestras. I graduated from Wheaton College Conservatory of Music with a degree in Music Pedagogy. I provide quality music lessons that I cater towards my individual students interests and personal goals. I have experience with all students ages 5-65. I am also a Special Education teacher and have a ton of experience with students with special needs.
I love watching students grow and learn. I love creating an environment for my students to feel safe to try and maybe fail, but learn from their mistakes. I enjoy making my lessons fun and catered to each student who I work with. If you want to learn pop songs, I can arrange a pop song for you, if you want to learn classical songs, we can work on those. I can teach you any genre of music that interests you!
