Edmond, OK Cello Lessons

Getting set up with fundamentals of drawing a good sound with a bow is important for any string player, and I would be happy to help you with technique and sight reading for your school orchestra program!

I've played in symphonies, chamber music trios, quartets, for weddings and even jazz!

I only teach beginner and intermediate cello.

During my 17 years of teaching, I have helped cello students reach their goals, develop technique, and perform with musicianship. My students have gone onto perform as section leaders in their school orchestras as well as in honor festivals and performances both near and far. I would be delighted to talk to you to learn more about your goals and help you reach them.

My students in the past have described me as fun and inspiring. I always do my best to ensure that my students are being challenged to their highest potential. I inspire confidence in students and my love of music is contagious! My focus is always the student and I will go the extra mile to ensure that young aspiring musicians reach their dreams. Whether you are yearning for the most advanced violin techniques or are just learning to play Twinkle, I can help you reach your goal.

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!

Students will have one free 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 hope I can teach you in the way that my first cello teacher taught me to fall in love with this instrument! I recently returned from performing in a music festival in Sweden. There I experienced something more than just fine tuning my skills and meeting other musicians that were as dedicated as myself to the learning of our instrument. We learned why it is that we spent our lives playing music...it is because of our love we have for our cello. Let the journey begin today with your 1st lesson!

Music has been my passion my entire life. Through lessons with me, students will develop not only a love for music, but the skill to create it. I aim to foster an environment where students feel safe to continuously challenge themselves, knowing mistakes will happen. Students learn more than the notes, they learn to breathe life into them. All I require is a cello, rosin (dark rosin is my personal preference), a music stand, and a willingness to learn. Contact me and we'll make music together :)

I'm a professional cellist and an enthusiastic and knowledgable cello teacher. I have 15 years of teaching experience and have taught students as young as 5, teenagers, and adults. All levels are welcome, including absolute beginners and advanced students.

I received conservatory training in New York, with further studies in Boston. I have a varied performing experience: from Boston Ballet, to MTV Unplugged, to my own chamber music concert series in Cambridge, MA.

As a teacher, I strive to understand each student as an individual and then fit my teaching approach to them. I bring several important things to lessons: a very clear understanding of cello technique, a love for music, an open mind, and plenty of patience :-)
