Instruments: Piano Voice Cello
I am passionate about music and sharing my knowledge and experience with children and young people, eager to learn and discover beauty of music. I graduated from "University of Music in Belgrade", with Master Degree of Arts in Cello Performance and teaching. Beside cello as a Major ,I also studied voice and piano as a mandatory class in University of Belgrade. I was a member of Belgrade "National Opera Theatre" and performed with many chamber orchestras, quartets, trios etc. Read More
Instruments: Cello Music
Having the basic knowledge in music and techniques in playing are very important tools to have as a performer. I typically start with the Suzuki method for beginners and intermediates. Once the student has progressed to have a grasp of the fundamentals, I will begin to introduce a solo repertoire or other music pieces appropriate to the student’s interest. I also use other exercise books as part of the lesson to improve the student’s sight reading, ear training, and technique skills on the instrument. Read More
Instruments: Piano Cello
If the student does not express a total passion for wanting to learn the instrument, then I suggest that maybe this is not for them. The most important thing is that when they do have the time to practice, it is focused and in intervals that are divided up, so as not to loose concentration on what they are learning. Again, if the student is not enjoying the music with a passion, there are other things they could be doing that they enjoy! Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Flute Clarinet Recorder Fiddle French Horn Piccolo Oboe
For stringed instruments, I uses the Suzuki method for teaching the basic repertory of the instruments. This method is an ear training method in which the student plays by ear. It starts out very simple so students of all ages can learn and progress very quickly. For learning to read music I use one of the method books like "A Tune a day" or Strictly Strings which teach the fundamentals of read music and music theory. Read More
Instruments: Cello
As a cello teacher with over five years of experience, I have taught beginning, intermediate, and advanced students from ages 5 - 72. Some of my former students have gone on to study music at the collegiate level, at prestigious musical institutions such as Cal Arts and NYU. Other students of mine have won awards and honors in competitions, as well as seats in Honor Orchestras at the regional and state level. Read More
Instruments: Piano Guitar Voice Violin Cello Viola Trumpet Saxophone Flute Clarinet Drums Bass Guitar Synthesizer Harmonica Recorder Electric Violin Fiddle Piccolo Oboe English Horn Keyboard
I teach combination of the Suzuki method and the Hungarian style (stressing the natural, comfortable, painless, tension free method). For young students, the Suzuki method is great, since the repertoire is all fun! Also the CD that comes with every level is vital! Children enjoy and benefit from that. I am an audiophile, so I can set up students with a quality hifi system on the cheap - this is so vital in Suzuki method, as he stated in his book, Nurtured With Love. Read More
Instruments: Cello
I am a performer and educator based in Long Beach, CA. I received my Bachelor's of Music in Cello Performance at the Bob Cole Conservatory of 2021. I have been very passionate about teaching cello since I started in 2016. I have performed in several venues in Southern California as a soloist, as well as in orchestral and chamber ensembles. My favorite type of ensemble is cello ensemble, and I encourage all my students to get involved in cello ensemble playing or at least some type of chamber music. Read More
Instruments: Cello Music
What musical accomplishments are you most proud of?
My musical accomplishments have been winning various local competition ( I won my first competition at the age of 12), scholarship recipient for my Bachelor of Music (Partial) and a Full scholarship to the University of Michigan. While I was a student at CSUN I won the school competition and was to perform with a live orchestra as a representation of the school of music. As a graduate of CSUN I received the Margaret Aue Award for outstanding cellist.
In addition as a scholarship recipient at the University of Michigan I was placed in the student graduate quartet, where we performed all the composers new works and performed many concerts.
Did you have a teacher that inspired you to go into music? How did they inspire you?
I had a fabulous Elementary teacher that was able to teach all the instruments at El Marino School in Culver City. She is very knowledgeable and a great woman. To this day I always thank her for all she did for me. I worked with her for 2 years and then she told my parents that I needed private lessons at this point, I was 10 year old at this point. She is an inspiration to all the students who played under her conducting.
When will I start to see results?
Usually you start seeing results within a week. Realizing that the beginner (child or Adult) will learn at different pace. Some students catch on very quickly and move through the book at a good clip. Others need more time and develop a little slower. The important thing is to learn correctly and you will see results every week. Remember practicing is important here to see results.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
My standard for knowing a child is ready to start lessons is a few criteria. Can the student read. If so they can then read music because music is a language and it requires the understanding of reading in order to learn how to play. The student should be very interested in the instrument they want to learn, and try to visit some concerts so they may see their instrument being played by professionals. This way, they can see and hear their instrument in a live concert.
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing is not fun......Yup you heard from me. However, practicing is important. Because without practicing students will not accomplish learning the instrument. Effective practice is a skill that must be learned and understood.
Practicing is not playing the piece assigned to them over and over again with the same mistake each time. This will not work very well. So if the student can identify the mistake, we isolate the problem and repeat the correct way several times so the mistake is finally corrected.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
My primary instrument is cello of which I have my degree in Cello Performance, with conducting was my second choice. I teach all levels of cello.
In addition, I acquired a great tool and I was taught by my brother who is a fabulous Violinist who is No. 5 in the world. I have the skills to teach beginning violin only.
