Nothing is more rewarding than seeing that musical spark ingnited in a student. Every student has different interests and different learning styles. Therefore, I make it my number one priority to accomodate the student's learning needs. Each lesson, we will set small attainable goals that can be achieved each week in order to help fuel a student's desire to progress and continue practicing. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to my college days. I received my first teaching certificate in 1991 and worked in a Professional Music school for many years.

Intermediate cellists will have either Goltermann or Bach works sprinkled in between pieces and arrangements they'd like to play. Read More

When you are passionate about what you are doing, you can't help but pick up your instrument and practice! Read More
