Cello Lessons Snohomish County, WA

Instruments: Cello

I began teaching cello while in high school, serving as a Teaching Assistant to my own teacher and mentor, Olga Ruvinov.

Having the opportunity to teach under the guidance of an experienced pedagogue was instrumental to my development as a musician and inspired a love of teaching from a very young age. Read More

My motto is my students create their own lesson. I formulate lesson plans off of the styles of music you are most interested in.
