Fulton, MD Cello Lessons

I am looking forward to helping you achieve
your goals in music!

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.

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.

Classical music-focused, fun and relaxed environment, experienced teacher with top conservatory background

I'm an experienced and dedicated cellist, having played with Orchestras and Chamber groups throughout my state. My lessons are focused on relaxation, and am as laid back or strict as the student needs. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, shooting to be a church player or a pro, I have taught students for that and am the teacher for you.

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!

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

Studying the cello with me will include work with basic skills, bow technique, left hand technique and musicality. In lessons we will do a variety of exercises to strengthen these aspects of cello playing. We will use cello solo pieces and etudes to put these skills in context.

I am a classically trained teacher with ten years of cello teaching experience. Making music through cello is such an enjoyable thing. Therefore, no matter what level of playing or what piece you have in mind that you always wanted to learn,please come to me. I will design a lesson plan and practice plan according to your needs. In my lesson, you will learn music theory,music history,cello technique and of course, music appriciation. I will also chose the right method book regarding to your playing. Looking forward to seeing you.

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.
