Instruments: Cello

I grew up with music all around me. Both of my parents play classical instruments like the cello and violin. My childhood home was filled with sounds of classical and chamber music. Therefore, it is not so surprising that I too chose to move in the direction of music.

I have been teaching for about six years, working with students of a wide range of ages and levels of experience. I currently maintain a small private studio, and also work with larger groups of students in workshop or masterclass settings. I love to help students play the music that they want to play, to instill one of the purest joys of music making. This comes hand in hand with a solid technical foundation however, which we will work to incorporate. Read More

Yearning a deep and fulfilled interest in classical music has enabled me to uniquely interpret classical music on a complex analytical music level & compositionally dissecting music. I am patient and active with each of my students.

I am always more than happy to make our time more exploratory and free form. This is especially important with very young students, though I'd encourage this attitude with all ages. Read More
