Instruments: Cello
I started playing the cello when I was 9 years old and was taught by Lisa Vosdagones. I graduated HSPVA in 2008 and played in the Houston Youth Symphony on the weekends. I played in my University's orchestra, sitting first chair the entire time. I love playing the cello and I hope we can make beautiful memories and sounds together. Read More

If the student has never read sheet music, we will first do worksheets to learn how to read bass clef. If the student has taken another instrument, such as piano, there are some transferrable skills that will allow us to go through this process much faster.
