Instruments: Violin Cello Viola
I also use the Essentially Strings for some beginning cello students, depending on the student. As we progress in cello, they would need to purchase a scale book, possibly other Suzuki books, an etude book, as well as other individual pieces that they would learn. I am a very technically based teacher, so the basics and foundational methods are very important and would be the primary focus in the beginning, as we learn and gain comfort with all string instruments.

I started teaching privately in 2004, and have been doing so in either my own studio or in the studios of others ever since.. In 2013, I started contracting with the Anaheim City School District to teach string classes in their after-school music program. Since moving to Texas, I have started orchestra programs at two different schools in Dallas county, while continuing to build my own studio. Whether in a private or group setting, the joy on the students' face is the most powerful motivator and greatest reward I know of. Read More

I have been playing viola for almost 20 years and each day I grow more and more passionate for my instrument. I was born and raised in Dallas, Texas and began my musical studies on viola at the age 4. I graduated from Baylor University in 2013. While at Baylor University I was Principal of the Baylor Symphony and played with the Waco Symphony, Brazos Valley Symphony, and the San Angelo Symphony orchestras. Read More

I had around 20 students I taught on a weekly basis ranging from the ages of 4 to 60; the majority being on the younger side. However, I think its never too late to learn an instrument! I am now an Orchestra Director at a local high school and teach privately as well. I love what I do and want to share my passion for music and the pride that comes with the mastery of an instrument with others. Read More

Marcela started teaching violin and viola when she was 18 years of age at Cartago's School of Music and the University of Costa Rica. Later on she created her private studio when she arrived in Texas in 2007 after finishing her music studies, which she continues to do until the present day . She has made a difference with her students through the years: from helping them to improve their playing, to preparing them for auditions, enabling them to join orchestras, ensembles, and even prepare them for being accepted into music programs at major universities.

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Music Performance, I found it to be a better match for my career goals. I am the best teacher I can be when I am playing my best, and it helped that I had some free time outside of concert cycles to research human cognition and educational psychology. I have been able to learn many things though my research jobs, projects, and own interest that I could’ve learned as an Education Major, though if I had chosen that path, I wouldn’t be able to play cello at this high of a level. It worked out for me!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I don’t recommend that students (especially children) practice for more than 10-15 minutes at time when just starting out, otherwise bad habits can build up quickly. I prefer to build successful practice habits from the beginning. When talking about skill building and advanced techniques, I work in increments of 5 minutes. Once you know how to do it (accomplished in lesson) maintain it for 5 minutes (in practice session). If that goes well, increase it to 10 minutes. Then 15. I usually find 20-30 minutes is plenty to start applying a technique successfully in assigned music. For passagework, start by doing it as you intend twice in a row. Then, 4x. Keep increasing by increments of 4. If you do this enough days in a row, it will become rote and you can focus on something else. Musical and creative practice goals will vary more from student to student. I like to challenge them to in a silly or drastic manner to help them find what sounds good to them.
When will I start to see results?
In order to progress, you need good practice habits and the ability to break things down into manageable parts. I help you establish the former by explaining how to do the latter in whatever you happen to be working on. Once you can do this, you will see results in every practice session. Progress starts small and grows over time.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I thought I wanted to play the flute because my elementary school has an after-school band program, but when I went to the local music store to rent a flute, I saw a cello for the first time and the was the beginning. It was like a Hollywood love-at-first-sight moment, and at every stage of life since it turned out to be the right decision.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Most importantly, they should have an interest in music (even if just listening or singing, if you can’t assess aptitude that’s okay), and they need to be able to focus and absorb information for at least 30 minutes at a time.
