I am pretty easy going. I want you to feel comfortable and at ease, but we do need to focus and can have fun doing it. :)
I utilize various methods for each instrument, which is determined by the students learning style and ability; needs, so this can change as time goes on (not sticking to one particular publishers materials). I have done (and continue to do) extensive research into materials available for each instrument I teach, and supplement with my own, to utilize the best out there for "YOU" for the best possible progress. While ensuring an extremely well-rounded musical education, so you can progress at the best possible rate. Since each student's potential is different, each will progress differently. This is also determined by your dedication to daily practice (the more you practice, the quicker you will progress & the more accomplished you will become). This is a 'Team Effort'; I give the guidance and tools. You practice, utilize learn these tools, and off we go! The sky is the limit!

Looking to bring your cello playing to the next level? Look no further! I promote good technique while putting the FUN in fundamentals!
About Danielle
Hello! My name is Danielle and I'm a classical strings teacher (don't worry - I teach the fun stuff too!). I've been playing violin since age 5, viola since age 13, and 'cello since age 18. I have Bachelors Degrees in Violin Performance and Music Education from James Madison University, and I play both Violin and Viola in Symphonicity, the volunteer orchestra in Virginia Beach.
I've taught everything from private lessons to private school to public school and am a truly passionate teacher. I currently teach general music, choir and strings at an elementary school but I love to fill my nights/weekends with private students - that's where the real fun is!
I've taught ages 4-44 and all skill levels. I take particular pride in developing technique and fundamental skills while keeping lessons light hearted and fun! It is my ultimate goal

to spark a love and passion for music in each of my students.
I always encourage students to explore music on their own and bring me repertoire that they'd like to play (from their favorite movies, TV shows, video games, etc.). Those are a great and engaging supplement to the solo repertoire I choose!
Send me a message to get to know more about me and my teaching. I look forward to hearing from you!

About Jeff W.
Close
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.
About Jeff
I am a classically trained cellist and a recent graduate from the Bob Cole Conservatory of music in Long Beach California. My teacher during this time was Dr David Garrett of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Dr, Marlin Owen of the Biola Conservatory of Music. I have been playing cello for fifteen years and have been playing in orchestras for the past ten. I was the principle cellist for the Irvine Young Concert Artists Orchestra for two years and was Assistant Principle cellist In the CUSLB symphony orchestra.
In addition to classical music my time at the Bob Cole conservatory allowed to play in various Jazz ensembles and allotted me some proficiency at improve and composition. I primarily teach classical music but I would very enthused to delve into a more contemporary practice as per the request of the student.

About Nick D.

I'm a professional cellist and an enthusiastic and knowledgable cello teacher. I have 15 years of teaching experience and have taught students as young as 5, teenagers, and adults. All levels are welcome, including absolute beginners and advanced students.
I received conservatory training in New York, with further studies in Boston. I have a varied performing experience: from Boston Ballet, to MTV Unplugged, to my own chamber music concert series in Cambridge, MA.
As a teacher, I strive to understand each student as an individual and then fit my teaching approach to them. I bring several important things to lessons: a very clear understanding of cello technique, a love for music, an open mind, and plenty of patience :-)
About Nick
I'm an experienced and enthusiastic cello teacher and performer. I enjoying sharing my love for music and the cello (and piano!) with others. I feel that I learn from my students, as well, and am always interested in expanding my teaching to accommodate their unique musical interests and strengths. It's also very rewarding to see a student's sense of accomplishment, newfound freedom, and individual expression, as they progress on each step of the learning process.
I strive to be as clear as possible in my explanations of technique and welcome questions and observations from my students. Together with the student, I make sure to overcome any obstacles that interfere with musical expression. Also, I emphasize that musicality is the real of focus of cello, rather than just "playing the notes". Finally, the unique artistic perspective of eac
