    Experience the beauty of cello from an experienced teacher with 9+ years of experience

    I have been playing viola for 17 years and teaching violin, viola, and cello for 8 years. I graduated from the University of West Florida in 2016 with a Bachelor of Arts in Music Performance - Viola. My viola instructor was Dr. Leonid Yanovskiy, current and former concert master of the Pensacola Symphony Orchestra, Northwest Florida Symphony Orchestra, and many others. While earning my degree, I also learned how to play violin and cello and am able to teach them up to an intermediate level. My teaching ideology is that ANYONE can learn an instrument at any age. I have taught students as young as 4 and as old as 65! Many adult students of mine have expressed difficulty and even shame in trying to find a teacher for them who would take them on, simply because they were starting as an adult. We don't have to train for the symphony (unless you want to!); your goals are my goals and I will help you reach them!
