Cello Lessons in Northvale, NJ

Instruments: Cello

For beginning students who are children, I typically start with the Suzuki Method and the Sassmannshaus Early Start books.

As the students advance, we begin using Martin's "I Can Read Music," Rick Mooney's "Position Pieces for Cello" and "Fun in Thumb Position." For adults, I also use the Suzuki method, as well as the Rick Mooney books. Read More
