Introduction
*Please note, In-person lessons are ONLY held: -at student’s location if in Manhattan/Brooklyn, NY (Sunday-Tuesday) OR - at my home studio in Wilton, CT (Wednesday-Friday) Zoom lessons are held anywhere!* About me: - Bachelor’s degree in cello performance from The Juilliard School (2020), with performance experience throughout the US, Canada, China, Russia and Switzerland - 10+ years of experience teaching private students in Fairfield County, CT - Faculty member at The Fairfield School of Music - Cello faculty member at “The Cello Camp” in Westport, CT since 2018 - Volunteer teaching artist at the Corona Youth Music Project (Núcleo Corona) - Cello instructor at the Harmony Program Summer Camp - Cofounder/former director of the Roots of Music camps in Wilton, CT, and Congers, NY While my primary training is in classical music, I also have extensive experience in arranging and performing pop/rock/movie genres and appreciate opportunities to explore various types of music. I work with students to identify unique goals in their cello practice. I believe in creating specialized lesson plans for each student that build strong technical and musical foundations but always prioritize finding joy in the sharing of music. I also try to be readily available to assist students outside of lessons and encourage students to send practice progress updates or questions that I can comment on throughout the week.

We were so lucky to have Isabella and her team provide the music for our wedding. Isabella was patient, warm, and an absolute joy to work with. Her talent is truly unmatched—every note was beautiful and heartfelt. She took the time to collaborate with us on our ceremony song and carefully curated the music for our cocktail hour. It made the entire experience feel so personal and special. I highly recommend booking Isabella for any event—she’s a true professional and a gifted musician. Thank you 😊

Details: Wedding ceremony • 101 - 150 guests • 18 - 30 years old • 31 - 50 years old • 51 or older • Other strings • No preference • Other • Outdoors

I was only with Isabella for a short period of lessons but in the time I worked with her was awesome! She’s teaches what you’re learning in a way you can understand the material. She was punctual and always responded quickly. I would recommend Isabella to anyone!
