Cello Lessons Burlington County, PA

Instruments: Guitar, Violin, Cello, Viola

I follow the American String Teachers Association's curriculum for orchestra education as a guideline for the skills and techniques that students must develop. The skills are developmentally sequenced and build upon one another like a stack of blocks. In each of my lessons, I assess what students know and what students could practice, and together, we remediate and master each skill or technique. I also frequently ask for student input on what music we are playing and what the student's goals are in order to better tailor each lesson. Read More

I have been teaching privately for 11 years, and in public school for the last 7. I have played the violin for 20 years, and viola/cello/bass for the past 10. I have also played piano and sung for the last 12 years, and have performed in both solo and group settings on every instrument mentioned. I have sent off numerous students to major in music over the years, and have had many opportunities to play in professional orchestras, and taught at Settlement Music School for 3 year in Philadelphia.

As a passionate musician I like to give my all when it comes to music; I love to have fun with my students and will work with each of them, tailoring my lessons to each because each of us is different and will learn in different ways but I will expect for my students to practice so each student can work to their potential and feel how they are progressing in their craft, because there is nothing more rewarding to see yourself going forward because of the work you have done.

Generally, for beginning children, I start with Hal Leonard's "Essential Elements" book (which I began with as well when I was 8!). Then, we move on up to the Suzuki books. These books, numbered from 1-10, have a great steady progression in difficulty, starting with songs that everybody will know, like Twinkle Twinkle and Row Row Row Your Boat, up to very challenging concertos, like Haydn's Cello Concerto in C major.
