Introduction
I have been teaching remote and in person cello lessons for over 10 years. Since 2014, my students have successfully auditioned for competitive colleges and orchestra programs, toured the US and Canada as performers, and have won awards for their skills on the cello. My classes are centered on what your personal goals and dreams are, even if it is to simply take cello lessons for fun and enrichment. I have enjoyed an adventurous career as a cellist, from performing under Maestro Leonard Slatkin to appearing as a contestant in America’s Got Talent. I have been featured on popular sites such as Classic FM, The Violin Channel, Classical Music Indy, and New York’s WQXR. My true passion lies in helping my students to achieve their dreams on the cello. Becoming a cellist is filled with days of jubilation and days of growing pains. Cello is an undertaking and requires focus and consistency. Because of this it is highly important that cello lessons are enjoyable and fulfilling. Cello offers rich opportunities for personal growth and discipline that extend beyond the instrument. I want you to succeed and feel proud of yourself! That is the real reason I teach. :)

Very experienced teacher, my kid had a better understanding of his instrument within 2 weeks of starting. I always worry about virtual lessons with cello but he broke all those barriers. Very professional and responsive. Would definitely recommend

Details: 10 - 13 years old • 0 - 2 yrs of formal training • Yes, the student can read music • What the teacher recommends • No, but the student is planning to purchase a cello and would like a recommendation • 60 minutes • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

I have been a student of Warren for over 6 years. As someone who began with little experience he has helped me develop into a good player proud to showcase their abilities. Through his lessons I’ve grown to have a stronger passion for music as well as a strengthened skillset when it comes to playing the cello. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a cello teacher no matter your skill level.

Mr. Oja has taught me for many years, and I never fail to look forward to class with him! I love the way he corrects areas that need improvement, while also pointing out my strengths as well! He is great at choosing exercises and pieces that continue to help me grow while not overwhelming me too much. My family and I also look forward to each recital— they are warm and welcoming, and it’s so nice to get a chance to perform all of my hard work without the fear of judgement. He is very skilled in finding room to fit in a lesson no matter what, and is flexible by offering the option of both in person and virtual lessons, if need be. All that being said, I would highly recommend Mr. Oja for cello lessons!

My daughter has been learning Cello from Mr. Oja for one and half years now and we have a great experience. No doubt he’s a very professional Cellist. Also, his passion and sense of humor make Cello class go smoothly every time. He is kind and care for his students especially when my kid has difficulty understanding the music. We all love him being our Cello teacher and highly recommend!!

Cello classes with Warren are fun, instructive, and meaningful. As an adult beginner, Warren alleviated all the anxiety I had about starting cello. Highly recommend!
