Cello Lessons Niagara County, NY

Instruments: Cello

I have a very serious focus on the fundamentals, but nothing makes me more happy than to see a student use those fundamentals to express something deep within him or herself. I do as much as I can to get the student as interested as possible in the music they are playing, and help them find their own meaning in the music. That being said, I make sure to have each of my students progress at their own pace. Read More

I'm fairly flexible on what pieces the student may play in the lessons, as long as the rudiments and classic repertoire are covered. Read More
