Learn cello fast from a Juilliard-trained and experienced online cello teacher
I am a Juilliard-trained cellist who is passionate about discovering the beauty and joy of music and encouraging my students in a life-long discovery of music-making regardless of age or prior experience. Cello lessons with me will give you a solid understanding of cello technique along with developing your musicianship. I teach a variety of musical styles and love working with students to help them choose music that reflects their individual musical tastes. Send me a message with any questions you might have and join my vibrant online cello studio and community!
Features of my online studio include:
- a focus on a good, solid foundation to cello technique to give you the freedom to play your goal song.
- play the music you love! I enjoy making custom arrangements for students if cello sheet music is unavailable.
- the option of joining my community of cello students in fun online recitals, masterclasses, and other group workshops.
- learn the cello from the comfort and convenience of home. I bring nearly 3 years of full-time online cello lesson teaching to the table, creating a multidimensional learning environment adaptive to all learning styles.

My daughter has been taking lessons from Mari for about two years. Mari is an excellent teacher who cares for her students and knows what is best for them. She knows how to teach and how to encourage the student. I highly recommend her.
