Cello Lessons in Sleepy Hollow, NY

Instruments: Cello

Usually in my lessons I like to hear the student play something from start to finish just so I can listen and take in what exactly a student's strengths and weaknesses are. Encouraging strengths, and praising accomplishments, is a great way to help a student to progress. I try not to dwell on mistakes or weaknesses but try to demonstrate or push the student in the right direction. Read More

I have incorporated many sources into my teaching, including training I recieved at schools where I've taught: color note-reading for young children at Park Slope Music Lessons and science-based learning methods at Sage Music.
