CELLO LESSONS
I'm an experienced cello teacher available for private lessons. If you’ve always wanted to express yourself though music and dream of playing the cello, I can help you become a cellist! If you already play or are returning to the instrument, we can start wherever you are and move forward. The cello is a beautiful sounding instrument, but also challenging and with regular study and practice, you can greatly improve your musicianship and become a great player. Begin with the basics and/or learn more advanced techniques. Play solo, in ensembles or bands, etc. Learn how to use your body in a healthy way, to read music, expand your listening abilities and learn to play by ear and improvise.

My hourly rate is $80/hour and I offer a discount for students who commit to monthly blocks of lessons!


I teach:
- children, teens and adult students
- beginning and intermediate cello students
- adult students who are returning to the instrument

About me: I’m a classically trained cellist and believe in learning the fundamentals. I also enjoy and play a lot of non-classical music: I love the pop, rock, and world music and have worked with composers, songwriters and dancers. In addition, I lead my own band. I have played and recorded with many other ensembles.

Educational methods: Suzuki Method, Strictly Strings, Feuillard, classical and non-classical cello techniques and repertoire, ear training and basic theory.
Education: Private Instruction, Liberal Arts degree, Alfred/Julliard and Stanford Jazz Summer Programs, rock/jazz bands, recording sessions and inter-disciplinary collaborations.
