Specialties
I help young students realize their fullest potential through music. Specialized in teaching young students age 6-18, I help each student develop their own unique musical voice, using imagination, creativity and expression as the cornerstones of the lesson while seamlessly integrating the foundations of music and cello technique. I use both classic music and pop music to make the lessons engaging and fun, while still providing the best of the best musical and technical instruction. In addition to kids, I have worked with adults of all levels and currently am accepting adult students with 5 or more years of experience.
