I have taught private cello as well as public school orchestra (elementary - high school) for many years. My approach is traditional with Suzuki materials and philosophy. In each lesson I cover basic fundamentals of cello playing, solo repertoire, ensemble playing, rhythm and theory.

I want to work closely with students to help them develop their own unique pace, methods, and goals that work for them. We’ll work together to not just master their craft, but also find their voice and enjoyment with their instrument.

My goal is to discover what a student wants to learn and their strengths and weaknesses and then cater lessons accordingly.

I graduated with a Bachelors of Music from the music conservatory Cleveland Institute of Music, and got my Masters in Music from Northwestern University's Bienen School of Music.

In addition, I completed a 2 year rigorous Suzuki Technique Pedagogy Program where I am now certified to teach all 10 levels of the cello books.

I take pride in teaching cellists who are eager to broaden their understanding of music and artistry, who strive to develop their talents and work on their shortcomings, and who love sharing music.

I'm a bassist and a Music teacher with more than 15 years of experience. I've played in several orchestras in Brazil and in the US, and I have Master's degrees in Performance and Popular Music (Ethnomusicology). The Cello is my second instrument, and I really love to play it! I'm a certified Suzuki teacher, and I'm specialized in teaching kids (ages 5 and up).

I taught my very first cello lesson when I was 15 years old, and have continued ever since. For the past 10 years teaching has been the primary focus of my musical career, and I truly love interacting with students and passing on the knowledge I've received. I like to teach in a fun, relaxed manner, making sure the student is both learning and enjoying the experience at the same time. I have experience teaching all ages and skill levels and tailor my lessons to the abilities and personality of the individual.
