Cello Lessons in Five Points, CO

Instruments: Cello

Throughout school and up until I graduated from college, I taught private cello lessons during the summers. I have been a classroom teacher (elementary, middle, and high school, in addition to teaching adults computer programming) for the past twelve years. I thoroughly enjoy working with students of all ages and helping them meet their goals. One of the highlights of my musical career was a month-long concert tour of China with Denver Philharmonic in the summer of 2016. Read More

I ask all of my students to be prepared for their lessons with a notebook and pencil for lesson notes and assignments.

My teaching experience began around 2012 when I taught some of my teacher's students while she was out of town for the summer. Throughout college and graduate school, I maintained a small studio of a handful of students. After graduating in 2016, I began to grow my private studio as well as working with music schools throughout Denver, including Denver Public Schools, and Douglas County Schools. Besides private teaching, I also coach sectionals and small ensembles with DPS, DCS, and DASC (Denver Adult Strings Camp). Read More

For intermediate students who study for more than one year, I will pay more attention to left-handed skills and students' mastery of the bowing. For advanced players, I will focus more on musical interpretation and comprehensive techniques. All the left and right-hand skills will be put into the interpretation of music, this is the last step for students who playing cello. Read More

I am always open to new ways of teaching and I belive the teacher can also learn from the student and improve his teaching skills. I always keep in mind that every student is different and the teacher has to work with their level of speed and progress. Read More
