Introduction: I love playing the cello and sharing music, and I want you to fall in love with it too! My goal with each student is to meet you where you are and tailor each lesson to your individual strengths, needs, and desires. My first goals in our first lessons are: to learn why you'd like to take cello lessons, to find out any musical history you have & gauge what level you're at in your studies, and to discover what type of learner you are so I can best describe concepts and connect with you personally. My hope is that our work together will continue to grow your love of music, help you find comfort and confidence in playing the cello, and help inspire you to become as creative and efficient as possible in your practicing. I have a wide array of private teaching experience, from students age 6 through 75, including beginners through pre-conservatory level students. As an active performer myself, I am always trying new things in the practice room and finding new ways to explain concepts to help my students.
I love getting to know my students and watching them grow, both as people and as artists, through our time together. I love seeing my students challenge and overcome obstacles (technical, musical, and personal), and watching them transform through their musical pursuits.
