Are use a creative new method using visual auditory and tactile sensation and recollection to help students advanced on their instruments as quickly as possible. With the revision will order an auditory learner or real hands-on type of person this technique is the quickest I have ever seen and taking someone from zero to being able to sight read music .

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.

Have fun playing the cello! I emphasize beautiful tone and expressive playing. I am a patient teacher. Methodical yet flexible. All ages and levels!!

I am an experienced strings teacher with 20 years of experience. I will work with beginning cello students of all ages and provide instruction on proper technique, position, reading music and playing the cello. I am patient and provide constructive feedback and work at your pace.

I am a graduate of McGill University's classical music program from where I hold a Bachelor of Music Performance degree and have 20 years of cello experience in performing and teaching throughout the world. I have performed various styles of music asides from my classical training, including pop, electronic music, and hip-hop.
I have great experience with adults and children, creating individual lesson plans to encourage my students and keep them passionate in learning and advancing.

I advocate for not only technical advancement but also unique musical imagination. I have found that stressing creativity leads to a need and desire within the student to push the limits of their ability. My cello lessons are complimented with with basic theory and ear-training exercises, and can encompass genres such as jazz, rock, and pop in addition to classical.

The cello is a really cool instrument and I enjoy playing and teaching it.

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.

I can help the student practice and learn their way around the cello in an efficient manner. This means that I will be helping with intonation and other technique by giving exercises for the challenging passages. Lessons will be customized according to the goal of the student. Sharing my knowledge in cello and music is a passion and a goal of mine and I would love to help reach your goals.
