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.

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

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.

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

I teach at the student's pace. Repertoire and etudes are picked to aid the student in learning new skills and techniques. I also take into consideration what the student's goals and topics of interest are. My goal is for you to become a better musician while learning how to practice and perform effectively.

Experienced teacher to cello students of all ages! I believe that creating good musicians is creating good people, and through learning the cello we can create a lifelong friend in our instruments. In my teaching I like to create a solid technical foundation, using the body naturally so that making music is a fun and stress-free experience. For the past 4 years I have been teaching using the Suzuki method, which stresses the important motto of "Every Child Can!"

I've been studying music my whole life. Extensive European study, 8 years in German conservatories, performing, studying, playing competitions in Germany and surrounding countries. Orchestral, chamber music, solo, I've studied closely with over a dozen high-level european cellists but I'm also good with kids, so whether you're looking to master your bow hold or have never even held one in the first place, I've got you covered.

Study the cello with me! You will learn proper bow and fingering techniques, sheet music reading skills, rhythm skills, and ear-training.

I use a mix of Suzuki and custom methods to ensure your success.

Already play? Want to be a shredding rock cellist? We got this. I can show you how to fit in with a rock, pop, country or hip-hop band.
