Cello Lessons Cheatham County, TN

Instruments: Cello

I have been teaching cello since high school, when I already had 15 years of experience playing the cello. I have taught consistently since then and along the way completed all of the units of Suzuki teacher training. I have studied how to teach with the renowned trainers David Evenchick, Jean Dexter, Pamela Devenport, Carey Cheney, and Avi Friedlander. I continue to study with other teacher trainers whenever possible to continue learning how to teach. Read More

Instruments: Piano, Violin, Cello, Viola, Electric Violin

For all of my students, I encourage consistent practicing of their instrument in order for them to grow and build their musical skills. Students are given scales, modern and classical pieces to practice. I find the combinations of these three things let most students see how diverse strings can be. I try to create games for my younger students so they enjoy practicing early on. I also have concerts regularly for all of my students who are able to attend. Read More

My method of teaching involves researching a wide range of resources in order to find what is best for the student at the current stage in his or her development.  Using my own knowledge, I am able to effectively adapt and improve these resources so as to be accessible to the student.  For bass students, I might use Hal Leonard's Bass Method, book one.  For young beginning guitar students, I recommend The Beginning Guitarist's Book by Tom Hess.

I strive to be an effective teacher whos able to provide a catered, caring, and educated learning experience for my students. I like to grow with my students as well, hopefully learning just as much from them as they learn from me. To grow as a person is the ultimate goal for myself and for my students and we use music to get there. I like to believe that I have found many ways to create a fun, productive, and educational environment in my own home or in a separate teaching facility. Read More

Instruments: Cello

I have performed with the Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra since 2018 and also the assistant principal cellist of the Northwest Florida Symphony Orchestra. In addition, I have played with the Richmond Symphony, the Ocala Symphony, Sinfonia Gulf Coast, Northwest Florida Ballet, Sewanee Summer Festival Symphony, and many other orchestras and ensembles. If it's not obvious, I love performing orchestral repertoire, but also chamber music and pretty much anything else you can think of - and this love of music extends to teaching. Read More
