Cello Lessons in Dennysville, ME. Amazing Teachers.

Experienced Music teacher of 8 years available for eager students of all experience levels and ages! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of their instrument and theory skills. I specialize in all styles. Typically, I use a variety of method books to pick from to meet the needs of the students. I also have many tools available to use during lessons.
My students have gone on to NYSSMA and on to college auditions successfully!

After graduating from the Juilliard School of Music I played with the New Jersey Symphony for 3 years and then moved to Switzerland where I was Principal cellist with the Beil Orchestra. I have spent 30 years teaching cello with good success. I enjoying helping students getting better. I teach the rudiments of the bow arm, bow grip and how to change the direction of the bow.

My goal as a teacher is to help you reach your musical goals! My lessons consist of scales, duets, and solo repertoire. Each lesson is different depending on the student I am working with, but the core of my teach is based around these 3 areas.

I am an experienced teacher and professional cellist, excited to meet you and learn about how we can work together to fulfill your musical goals. I am equally comfortable working with kids and adults, as well as beginners or advanced students. I previously taught a wide variety of students in the Greater Boston area, including teaching positions at the Marblehead and Salem School of Music (individual lessons), and as string teacher at the Cape Ann Waldorf School (conducting the middle school orchestra, teaching 4th and 5th grade string ensembles, leading cello sectional classes, and teaching individual lessons). I have been performing in Los Angeles for several years and am now ready to open my studio to new students - feel free to reach out if you would like to connect further or have any questions!

The student will be instructed on the basics of proper playing techniques, music theory, and musicianship. They will learn to read music and also play by ear which will make them a well rounded player.

I teach beginner cello primarily using the Suzuki books, but supplement with other materials when needed. My students work on scales and rhythm constantly to improve their tone and musicality as well as technique. I teach classical, religious, fiddle, and more. I also teach group ensembles, trios, quartets, and I work with students on their school orchestral and audition pieces.
