I am very passionate about music and I love to share music through teaching. I truly love to see people just enjoy and have fun while playing music.

In 2012, I graduated from Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, CA, where I lived and worked as a musician and music instructor for 6 years before moving to Denver, CO in November 2016. Read More

Instruments: Cello

For beginning students, I focus primarily on good sitting posture, both with and without the cello. We then focus on developing left-hand shape and function, before learning basic scales and tunes. Through consistent reinforcement, encouragement, and exercises, I help my students to build the solid technical foundation necessary to develop mastery of the instrument. I primarily use the Suzuki cello books, the Schroeder etudes, and the Starker method, however, I frequently make arrangements of popular tunes for students if that is what they are interested in playing.
