Scotch Plains, NJ Cello Lessons

I emphasize a physically relaxed and technically accurate approach to cello playing so that students are free to create music without limitations or physical discomfort.
Though playing an instrument takes hard work, it should be a fun and enjoyable experience too! We will work together to ensure that you are learning pieces that interest you and inspire you to reach the next level. By the end of each lesson you will know what to work on for the week and exactly how to practice in order to achieve the most effective results.

Students will learn the fundamentals of music theory and history while focusing on improving their technical facility on the cello. Students also work towards building their comfort with the instrument by practicing increasingly complex exercises and repertoire.

Lessons will be highly interactive and geared towards your personal goals as an aspiring cellist.

The cello is one of the most beautiful instruments! Experts say it has the closest sound to the human voice.

New students will bring in anything they know to their first lesson in order for me to have a brief understanding of their level and personality. This will allow me to build a personal guideline to focus on individually.

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.

I am an emotive cellist with two decades experience. As a member of the Park Quartet (the quartet in residence at Park Church) I recently performed at the 100th anniversary of McGolrick Park. I love sharing classical music with all levels of students. Lessons with me are calm, meditative experiences where we use Zen techniques to enter into the heart of music.

I love playing and teaching the cello, and I'm so excited to share that with you. I make lessons fun and engaging, and you'll leave feeling positive and determined. I believe that the technique should serve the music, so we'll always focus on creating art and telling a story. Cello playing mirrors life, so what we do in the practice room will have much larger applications than you might anticipate! From beginning students learning the basics to advanced players who need a push in the right direction, I can guarantee you'll improve quickly and have a great time doing it.

I focus on teaching students the overall musical ideas as well as specific necessary skills needed to portray the musical ideas. Eat Training, music theory and analyzes are also a subject of my discussions with the students, since it is necessary to understand the meaning of the piece and the idea of the composer. Combining Russian, American and French schools of music learnings, I try to provide students with the most well-rounded musical education.

Thoughtful, insightful and nurturing cello instruction. Discover and share the power of music with personalized lessons.

I’ve worked with cellists of all ages in order to help them discover the joys and challenges involved in playing a string instrument. My approach focuses on developing patience and cultivating a growth mindset.

With my teaching methods, students are able to develop effective practice habits that make playing music easier. My greatest joy is watching students passion grow as they learn to make beautiful music.

I take pride in teaching cellists who are eager to broaden their understanding of music and artistry, who strive to develop their talents and work on their shortcomings, and who love sharing music.

I am a passionate and experienced cellist and teacher. I aim for an environment which makes music learning enjoyable to students of all ages. I have traveled worldwide both studying and performing and love assisting students in reaching and exceeding their musical goals. I look forward to meeting you and being a part of growing your love for music and the cello.
