Cello Lessons in Fentress, TX

Instruments: Cello

For younger beginners, I will start with the basics of cello, mostly through the Essential Elements books. Once the student is ready, we will mostly stick to the Suzuki method, starting at cello book 1, and moving through each piece. For older beginners, I will still try to stick to Suzuki as a format, but will be open to letting the student choose what they might want to start playing. I will also try to keep a log of what students have worked on and need to work on, and would encourage them to do the same. Read More

Should any student want to pursue higher education in music, I can help with auditions, university requirements, etc. Read More

I have taught several students while I was studying music. I won the third place of the Taipei City Competition of Music among many outstanding competitors in 2015.
