Fontana, CA Cello Lessons

I've been teaching music for 15 yrs on guitar, piano, bass, cello and bass. My students have ranged from from 5yrs to 75yrs of age. I have seen many student go on to join orchestras, bands, broadway shows or simply continued their education to a university or college. Being able to read music profeciently has given me the opportunity to teach off many method books but like to use Alfred Method, Mel Bay and Frederick Noad Method books. I teach many styles ranging from classical, jazz & blues, rock, contemporary and pop. I do stress and recommend all my students to learn how to read music and usually by our second or third lesson they will playing simple songs. I am here to help you make music!

A great teacher for beginners

I have been teaching music since my conservatory studied.
I help student reach their goal and solve technique skills problem while playing and combine their own strength to bring out the best of them.
My philosophy of teaching is to know your student first then the instrument.

I have been teaching Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced cello students for the last 15 years. My studio is located in north Irvine, however I do travel to student's homes for an additional fee.

My lesson format encourages quick learning of concepts that include physical movements of cello playing, music theory, history, and general musicianship.

The length of the lesson is dependent on the level of repertoire. Beginners take 30 min. lessons while more advanced students need 45 min. or 60 min. lessons.

Each lesson is recorded so the student has a reference of what the music sounds like. It speeds up the learning time because the student knows what to do and what not to do. Watching the video is like having a lesson everyday between live lessons.

I'm an experienced and dedicated cellist, having played with Orchestras and Chamber groups throughout my state. My lessons are focused on relaxation, and am as laid back or strict as the student needs. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, shooting to be a church player or a pro, I have taught students for that and am the teacher for you.

I am a classically trained cellist with 20 Years experience. I studied under Charles Forbes and Roberto Pace at the Settlement Music School, and Eugene Friesen at Berklee College of Music.

Do you want to experience the joy of music making for yourself? Does the sound of the cello make you melt? Me too! I've been a cellist for over 20 years and can't wait to share my love of this instrument with you. Whatever your level of musical experience or goals, let's work together create a musical experience that is emotionally rewarding, will challenge you creatively, and give you helpful learning techniques and habits that are applicable to all areas of life!

At the start of my time with my students, depending on their skill level, I will take them through the physics of producing a clean and robust tone while also remaining relaxed and stress free. I focus on music theory as well as ear training to give my students a good musicianship foundation so that cello playing and all music endeavors are more accessible. I guide my students through a range of repertoire until I find what really clicks with the students particular desires and interests.

I hope I can teach you in the way that my first cello teacher taught me to fall in love with this instrument! I recently returned from performing in a music festival in Sweden. There I experienced something more than just fine tuning my skills and meeting other musicians that were as dedicated as myself to the learning of our instrument. We learned why it is that we spent our lives playing music...it is because of our love we have for our cello. Let the journey begin today with your 1st lesson!

I have learned cello since six years old. It is not only an elegant instrument but a good friend to me. I have been playing the cello for many charity group, doing volunteer with children and distribute more love to the minor group.
