Cello Lessons Midwest

Instruments: Cello

For my teaching style, I have a very organic approach. The main goal as a teacher is to develop a passion for the instrument and the music. This is crucial for seeing any development at a decent pace in any student. What happens otherwise is that the student does not want to practice, or practicing without focus. If a student is passionate about the music and their instrument, then they will want to practice, and will teach themselves. Read More

I am a devoted musician and private lesson instructor in Cincinnati, Ohio. Sharing my love for music with my students is a passion of mine, and I strive to help my students achieve success every day. I graduated from Ohio University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Education in May 2020. Through music, I have participated in multiple community service opportunities, I was able to perform in a music video, I traveled to Ireland on a concert tour, and I performed for a crowd of 2,000 people at one of the nation's largest Irish Festivals in Dublin, Ohio.

During lessons, I typically focus on a balance of instrumental technique and music reading. However, Im flexible and happy to adapt to each student's preferences. If a student prefers to prioritize one skill over the other, I will gladly tailor lessons to match their goals. Additionally, we work on developing and applying effective practice strategies to ensure steady progress. Since every student progresses at different rates and excels in different areas, I adapt my teaching style to meet their unique needs. Read More

I first began teaching as an undergraduate college student in 2002. One of my childhood piano teachers invited me to teach violin, viola, and cello in her studio of primarily piano students. A short time later, after being hired as an accompanist at a local string studio, I was hired as a string teacher within the studio, where I taught for several years. Over the next fifteen years, my teaching continued in these two settings: studio teaching, as well as private lessons given in my home or the home of my students. Read More

Depending on the context, all students will interact with music theory concepts and music history. Some light physics will also be integrated (don't be scared of it!). Read More
