About
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.

Alex does an incredible job of meeting my son where he is in every sense of the phrase. During each and every lesson, he connects with him as a kid and a person, as a cellist and a musician. He's encouraging and inspiring, and always has his eye on the road ahead. Listening to them play duets together is one of the best gifts that music can give. To top it all off, he's just one of the nicest individuals you'll ever meet.
