Alex Cousins - Cello Lessons

I am a world-class cellist and educator with a master’s degree from the Peabody Conservatory of Johns Hopkins University, and over 15 years of performance and teaching experience. I help students build a beautiful tone, strong fundamentals, and real musical confidence — whether they’re complete beginners, returning adults, or advanced players. My teaching style is supportive, intuitive, and highly personalized. I meet each student exactly where they are and help them grow at a pace that feels natural, encouraging, and grounded. Lessons focus on ease, expression, and clarity rather than stress or pressure. I offer both traditional acoustic cello lessons and modern electric cello lessons, including tone shaping, looping, pedals, and creative performance techniques for students who want to explore new styles. Most importantly, I care deeply about my students. I’m patient, reliable, and committed to helping each person genuinely improve and feel proud of their playing. If you want a teacher who brings professional experience, clear guidance, and a warm, motivating presence, I’d love to work with you.
