Cooksville, MD Cello Lessons

I am looking forward to helping you achieve
your goals!

All cello lessons are taught as private, one-on-one music instruction in music studio. Cello lessons are tailored to each student by taking their goals, experience, and learning pace into consideration.

For beginner students, lessons include fundamentals – such as posture, instrument position, bow and left hand technique, and music reading/sight reading as well as fun musical learning games

For Intermediate students, lessons focus on performing repertoire from all musical periods. More advanced bow and left hand techniques such as spiccato, shifting, and vibrato will be covered, as well as advanced note reading, listening, and music theory.

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.

My name is Marza and I am a cellist and graduate of The Juilliard School and New England Conservatory with a passion for teaching. I run my own personal studio made up of students ages 5 through 65. I focus my teaching methods on each individual student in order to find the best and most effective learning style for them. I am happy to travel to you or have you travel to me for lessons.

I am Suzuki certified but I do not solely teach with this style if that is not the student's preference!
