My teaching experience started in college. I learned cello pedagogy from my cello professor at Drake University and have continued teaching cello since then and after I graduated. I also have extensive orchestra experience. Throughout elementary, middle, and high school I was a member of the South Dakota Symphony Youth Orchestra cello section. During college I was member of the Drake Symphony Orchestra. Currently, I am on the sub list of the Des Moines Symphony Orchestra and Sioux City Symphony Orchestra. Read More
