Lees Summit, MO Cello Lessons

I've been a cellist since I was 10 years old. I can teach you any genre you want to learn on this surprisingly versatile instrument, and teach students from 5 years old on up. I come from a unique background, though, as my primary instrument is the viola da gamba. There is a strong historical performance element in my cello teaching at the higher levels. Bach should NOT sound like Brahms, and I can show you how to make that difference evident!

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.

A fun easy going learning environment that's filled with knowledge to incorporate as you learn more. In the lesson, you are expected to always listen to your sound because you will begin to understand the note vibration and intervals that make up the components

I have 15 years of playing experience from some of the best teachers around the country. I am certified to teach all 10 Suzuki books. I cater my teaching to each individual student and my goal is to create a fun nurturing environment.

Never too late to begin learn cello! My lessons focus on both sightreading and aural skills to make a well-rounded musician.

I make sure I am meeting the specific needs of each studedent, help them reach their individual goals, and most importantly make lessons fun.

Experienced teacher of 15 years, specializing in the beginner/intermediate cello student! All ages welcome. Lessons are customized and catered to the needs/goals of each student. Not only will you be playing songs in no time, but you will be building a strong foundation of note reading, music theory, ear training, sight reading, technique, and more.

As a musician who has taken private lessons from different teachers for over 12 years, I know the importance of having an organized, supportive, and positive teacher that does not overwhelm the student. Lessons will be structured based on specific aims and goals, with an overview of the previous week at the beginning of each lesson and goal-setting at the end of each lesson. It will be fun and engaging, and ultimately increase the student's interest and ability in playing cello!

I've been playing cello for twenty years. I studied cello performance at the University of South Florida, BYU-Idaho, and BYU. I've played for school orchestras, college orchestras, semi-professional orchestras, musical theatre, opera, singer-songwriters, a metal band, and a Mariachi band.

I'll teach you how to play. We'll also do scales, theory, ear training, reading music, playing by ear, etc.

I want to work closely with students so they can develops the basics needed to do any type of music they want. I understand that one way doesn’t work for everyone, so I want to figure out what works for you.
