Cello Lessons in Royal Palm Beach, FL

Instruments: Piano Violin Cello

My teaching originated in high school when I taught a few beginners the wonderful  basics of the cello.  I've now taught for over 15 years and have brought all students of all levels to new heights.  When teaching, I explain what it is that I do when I play and how to learn this.  Just performing would not allow me to share my insights from years of my musical journey.

I strive to recognize the strengths whether this be performance, aural skills, or even music appreciation! Read More

Instruments: Cello

My teaching experience dates back to my college days, as I began teaching private lessons part time 8 years ago. Encouraging regular practice on a consistent schedule is one of the key points I like to emphasize for younger students, as it tends to help the student progress and gain a passion for the instrument. I've also found that a combination of classical and modern music can go a long way in helping students enjoy the cello and motivate them to practice and continue to learn. Read More

For beginning students I always make lessons into a game and interest them with funny stories and songs. Once a student has progressed and is genuinly interested in playing cello, I start to study with a more serious repertoir as a easy classical pieces and some popular kid's songs. When student will be ready I will prepare him/her for first recital in family circle or at the school presentation. Read More
