Introduction
*Please note, In-person lessons are ONLY held at my studio in Wilton, CT. Zoom lessons are held anywhere!* About me: - Bachelor’s degree in cello performance from The Juilliard School (2020), with performance experience throughout the US, Canada, China, Russia and Switzerland - 10+ years of experience teaching private students in Fairfield County, CT - Faculty member at The Fairfield School of Music - Cello faculty member at “The Cello Camp” in Westport, CT since 2018 - Volunteer teaching artist at the Corona Youth Music Project (Núcleo Corona) - Cello instructor at the Harmony Program Summer Camp - Cofounder/former director of the Roots of Music camps in Wilton, CT, and Congers, NY While my primary training is in classical music, I also have extensive experience in arranging and performing pop/rock/movie genres and appreciate opportunities to explore various types of music. I work with students to identify unique goals in their cello practice. I believe in creating specialized lesson plans for each student that build strong technical and musical foundations but always prioritize finding joy in the sharing of music. I also try to be readily available to assist students outside of lessons and encourage students to send practice progress updates or questions that I can comment on throughout the week.

Isabella was so helpful in learning beginning cello techniques and notes. She was always so encouraging even when I made mistakes. She was also fun to work with even through Zoom. I would highly recommend and would take lessons from her again when my schedule allows!

She is a great teacher, and she really helped to guide me in the right direction as a beginner. She is patient, and provides in-depth answers to whatever questions I ask her.

I was only with Isabella for a short period of lessons but in the time I worked with her was awesome! She’s teaches what you’re learning in a way you can understand the material. She was punctual and always responded quickly. I would recommend Isabella to anyone!
