Cello Lessons Polk County, FL

There is no one style one must follow. Rather, one's style is developed over a lifetime. My goal in cello teaching is to teach the correct way practice and play the instrument. A cellist grows in the degree of effort and practice. Correct rudiments will last a lifetime that will assist each student develop to the degree they wish to. We tell our life story through playing music, like painting on a canvas a picture with all the bright and dark colors. Read More

My teaching originated in high school when I taught a few beginners the wonderful  basics of the cello.  I've now taught for over 15 years and have brought all students of all levels to new heights.  When teaching, I explain what it is that I do when I play and how to learn this.  Just performing would not allow me to share my insights from years of my musical journey.

My teaching experience dates back after my college years during the years of home private studying most musical instruments as I began teaching various instruments to group students at the christian churches.

They took the first lessons; they ready for the next ones. Read More

My teaching style is supportive and progressive. Keeping things fresh, new, and exciting is always a factor in all of my lessons, no matter the student or the instrument. Furthermore, my teaching philosophy is that positivity and encouragement leads to progress at all levels. I try to push my students to achieve their full potential without making them feel forced to do so. This way, my students learn more about themselves through music instead of feeling stagnant and unmotivated because of music. Read More

I prefer to solidify technique with studies so that in the repertoire, students are comfortable enough with the technical demands to develop their individual musical voices. In other words, I use like to use exercises to develop a new technique, etudes/studies to push students out of their comfort zone, while keeping repertoire assignments within their comfort zone to allow them to exercise their creativity in different areas. I welcome student input in my assignments and balance fun in lessons with the delayed gratification inherent in musical preparation depending on the individual student’s goals. Read More
