Bachelor of Music degree
I am a cellist from Minnesota that has just moved back from living in New York City for the past seven years. I graduated with honors and received the Kagan Orchestral Performance award from the Aaron Copland School of Music under the tutelage of Marcy Rosen. I began my Bachelor of Music degree at New York University, studying with Clive Greensmith of the Tokyo String Quartet. My other teachers have included Jerome Carrington at Juilliard Pre-College, Pitnarry Shin of the Minnesota Orchestra, and Sachiya Isomura of the Minnesota Orchestra. Holding the position of assistant principle cello of the New York Youth Symphony for two years, I have performed in Carnegie Hall seven times both with them and with my quartet. I have freelanced and played numerous gigs in NYC both with chamber ensembles and with such orchestras as Ensemble 212. Being an active performer, I have given frequent solo recitals in Lefrak Concert Hall and Sundin Music Hall in St. Paul, MN.
I have had numerous private students over the years in New York, ranging in age from 6 to 40 and at all abilities. I also taught briefly in Minnesota, assisting students at St. John's Prep School. I have also taught in Tokyo, Japan both privately to children and group lessons in an elementary school.
For the beginner, I generally start with the Essential Elements books (at least Book 1) and switch to Suzuki Cello School books after that. For intermediate to advanced students, I teach from various technique books and progress to standard cello reperatoire, from works by Klengel, Lee and Popper to standard concertos and sonatas.
I am flexible in my approach and realize that every person has a different way of learning music. No matter what your age is and what your goals are in music, I will work with you to find the most effective approach to learning the cello. I am not Suzuki Method certified as of now but I know about the method and can incorporate aspects of it into our lessons if a parent would prefer it.
