Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD Cello Lessons

Our cello lessons cover an array of topics from technique to musicality along with establishing the important connections of mind and body to achieve healthy and sustainable cello playing! I approach every student differently and try my utmost best to cater to every student's need. I have years of experience teaching pre-school age cellists to adults! I look forward to helping anyone achieve music and cello goals!

I'm a cellist and educator who has taught students of all ages and abilities. I strive to enable my students to find their own style and voice on the instrument. During the past six years my students have applied their skills in orchestras, recitals, and bands. My lesson plans include technical development, various repertoire including Suzuki, and exploration of personal musical interests and songwriting. Cello is my passion and I want to share that with 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.

We will work on left-hand and right-hand technique as well as music reading skills.

I strive to treat each student equally no matter how advance the student are. My job as a teacher is to provide students a tool in life. Students will learn the way life works through the art of music. Should the students decide to pursue music or not in the future, I only hope that students will apply what they've learned in music to their everyday problem solving.

Get a strong technical foundation. Build your repertoire. Prepare for auditions.

I love playing and teaching the cello, and I'm so excited to share that with you. I make lessons fun and engaging, and you'll leave feeling positive and determined. I believe that the technique should serve the music, so we'll always focus on creating art and telling a story. Cello playing mirrors life, so what we do in the practice room will have much larger applications than you might anticipate! From beginning students learning the basics to advanced players who need a push in the right direction, I can guarantee you'll improve quickly and have a great time doing it.

Working as a professional cellist for twelve years and soon to be cello performance graduate from University of Maryand Baltimore County, I am comfortable teaching all ages and experience levels. My teaching philosophy centers around developing a solid technical foundation as well as developing skills in ear training, sight reading and theory, but most importantly encouraging a creative and fun atmosphere and love for the cello.

Over 10 years of teaching experience which includes private lessons, ensemble coaching and preparing students for performances. My lessons involve musical creative writing, memorization of favorite tunes, reading and music theory study.
