Fort Lauderdale, FL Cello Lessons

I've been teaching beginner to intermediate cello for 1 year. I played cello for 2 years in High School orchestra.

Student needs to have the instrument. I usually use Essential Elements and Suzuki books for beginner and intermediate students. Also String Tunes.

I have been teaching cello since 1989.
Cello students of all ages and levels are accepted at my studio. All levels of the cello repertoire from the beginning through the Major Concertos will be taught. Students will be placed in courses according to the level of their current repertoire. The sequence of repertoire in the Suzuki Cello School will be used to place students.

I like to focus on correct playing position, reading the clefs associated with cello, scales, etudes, solo pieces, shifting, and vibrato.I've taught a wide range of students. From beginner to intermediate to advanced. I've taught students as young as 4 to students in their 60's.

Music is an important part of our lives, and thus I am not a one-style type teacher. I work with everyone at their current level and develop lessons for them based upon their desires. I believe that teaching the classics is just as important to teaching current music and inspiring each of my students to reach beyond their current comfort zone. I stress developing good practice habits and fundamentals, as these make any style of playing more enjoyable.

Looking to bring your cello playing to the next level? Look no further! I promote good technique while putting the FUN in fundamentals!

I have experience teaching in a variety of settings level students. I am currently teaching students as a private teacher and I helped some of my students’ audition for San Diego youth symphony and school orchestra assignments. I also have experience not only teaching young musicians in a small group system also performing and playing as a cellist of chamber ensembles and orchestra.
As a music teacher, it is my goal that I want to give back the rich knowledge that I have received during my studies. I want to use my education and knowledge gained from SDSU to help students obtain a proper and valuable education. I desire to see young musicians refine and expand their passions and talents in music and use them to touch the lives of others.

As a pianist, I always wanted to be a piano teacher, get to know different people, cultures, and the most important one to discover different and unique talents I see on every single student I have. I love sharing the knowledge I acquired throughout my music career and seeing my students learning what I learned when I was their age. I want them to feel confident on themselves and to never give up on their future musical career. However, I get extremely happy seeing my students improving their techniques week after week, and I want them to get into the music world and enjoy it!

I started teaching ever since 1995, It has been 23 years of knowing how to work with students of all the ages such as from 5 years old to adults!

My musical background is extremely diverse, so virtually anything you want to get out of our lessons, I'll be able to give you. I have studied both the classical and jazz methods extensively with many influential teachers that are still active in the music scene. This experience has taught me how to apply each method, depending on the situation, to produce the best results possible. I have comprehensive knowledge of the standard classical and jazz repertoire, and can easily develop an effective plan of study for any student, at any level. I also write a fair amount of music, so depending on the student, that could become a large focus of our lessons. Most importantly though, I know how to keep a lesson interesting and how to engage a student of any age and skill level in a way that will motivate them to work on their craft consistently and effectively. Really excited to work with anyone interested in getting something out of music!

I balance a technique oriented approach with creativity and exploration. I am well-versed in many styles and genres of music. In addition to classical music, I specialize in improvisation and electronic music composition/production.
