FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Am flexible with lesson prices, and willing to work with you so you can study with me. I believe money should never be a reason why you can't study music!
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I take the time to get to know you and your personal connection with music, the cello, arts and creativity. I want to know what inspires you and what you are passionate about. From there, we begin to explore how to bring all of that to your journey with learning the cello and developing your overall musicianship. With children, I find the connection a child has with learning and discovering, and give lessons utilizing a variety of methods designed specifically for that child. My goal is for the child to have fun learning music/cello, while developing a lifelong appreciation and connection to music.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attended prestigious conservatories in Boston and in Europe since a young age, and have been a musician since a child. I've performed at Carnegie Hall, and at festivals around the world. In addition to my extensive studies in classical music, I also am a composer and encourage every one of my students to explore their own creativity. I play a wide variety of musical styles, and am very happy to teach all different kinds of music. Music is my calling, my life. I've been teaching for over 25 years, from beginners to Ivy League PhD students, children to adults, young of age to the young at heart. I currently on music faculty at Cornish College of the Arts.
