Instruments: Cello, Bass Guitar, Double Bass

With the cello and double bass, I use the Suzuki books, along with my own system I've developed.

I have all of my students identify songs that they would like to learn on their own, while studying other pieces of music at the same time.

Alongside the Suzuki books, I also make sure the student has pieces they can learn for fun. Read More

My recitals not only present individual pieces, but also group works that encourage working together with other musicians which is a highly rewarding benefit of music. Read More
