Introduction: I teach (skype) out of my studio in beautiful Grant, Florida. I have been teaching music since 1989 and have played in orchestras since 4th grade and currently play the cello in church...my whole family is musical! My parents are both professional musicians, so I grew up around music! My goal is to share my love of music with students of all ages by making lessons fun!! I teach using traditional methods, tailored to the student's specific interests. I am a former preschool teacher and minored in music. I am very patient and enjoy the challenge each new student brings and love teaching children and adults alike. I look forward to meeting you....its always a good time to learn and it's never too late! 🎹🎶🎻

Cello Lessons

So happy to have found Christi! My daughter has been playing cello for two years and loves it. It’s hard to find a cello teacher. My daughter has met with Christi virtually for the past month and really enjoys the lessons with her. Christi is doing a wonderful job building on what my daughter has already learned. I really appreciate her communication with me as well. She always texts me after the lesson to let me know how it went. Christi is always on time and flexible around our schedule. Unfortunately due to COVID-19, my daughter cannot play in an orchestra setting at school right now. These lessons provide my daughter a chance to continue learning and playing the instrument she loves.

Cello Lessons

Christi is absolutely wonderful. We are so glad we found her! My 12 year old only had two months of 6th grade orchestra before the COVID lockdown happened. She was feeling very sad as she was looking forward to learning cello! I found Christi on Thumbtack. She responded to my email within hours! I didn’t realize that she was on the opposite side of the state when I contacted her, but was so impressed with her credentials we opted to do Skype cello lessons! My daughter is happily playing her cello again, and she finds Christi to be very patient and positive! Christi is great with kids, and her lessons are structured in a way that makes learning seamless and fun. I highly recommend her!
