Cello Lessons Collin County, TX

Instruments: Guitar, Violin, Cello, Viola, Fiddle, Classical Guitar

I believe in making each lesson personal and fun. I pay close attention to how each student learns best. I start with the basics, building solid technique and gradually introducing more challenging pieces. I love incorporating short theory lessons as my students advance, and with my younger students, I play theory games so they can remember music being made fun! While I use traditional method books, such as Suzuki, I also incorporate pieces my students want to learn. (Example: Disney songs). Read More

Instruments: Violin, Cello, Viola

During the lesson, we will review the last concept that was learned, go over the lesson for the day and then create a lesson for the following week and be sure that each lesson is explained and understood.

For voice and orchestra students I also find out what they are most interested in and what styles they want to learn and incorporate that into my lessons as well. That helps keep students in engaged in their learning. Read More

As a cellist and pianist, I have enjoyed an international performance career as a chamber music player, soloist, and string orchestra musician. As a performer, I love chamber music and soloist playing, both music paths that I have been cultivating and expanding. My love for teaching comes from the uncountable great life lesson from my music teachers that I wish to give back. My education conveys the traditional and contemporary techniques of teaching and playing with the goal of performing. Read More
