Our music lesson students will have the opportunity to take lessons from the comfort of their own home or in one of the teachers studios. Careful attention is placed on each student to ensure a custom lesson plan. Our music teachers understand that every student has different needs and abilities and therefore the lessons will be planned with that knowledge in mind.

Kathryn T
Instruments: Cello
I then usually work on scales, technique and etudes, and then work on any major repertoir that may have been assigned. I then finish by setting goals for the week, and answering any further questions. I a very upbeat and engaging teacher, and I am not afraid to adress problems head on. I find it important to both acknowledge accomplishments and use effective criticizm. I expect the highest level of comitment and work from my students, but enjoy helping students reach this level, and to become excited and proud of the results this yeilds. Read More
Nicholas C
Instruments: Cello
With beginner Cello, the first major learning curve is being able to get into position: Posture, Cello placement, left hand, bow hold, etc. This is probably the most rote work early on, as the student learns scales and basic techniques. Once the student shows a good demonstration of the basics, then the lessons proper begin. I like to have 3 'projects' at a time; 2 simple pieces aimed at learning a certain technique, and a larger piece catered to the student's interests. Read More
