Instruments: Cello

I am a firm believer that each and every student with the excitement to learn can succeed. That said, everyone moves at their own pace and responds differently when learning new skills. Therefore, I have learned to adapt to the student and tailor my instruction so that they are comfortable in the learning process. Some students are more quiet than others, but I still encourage my students to ask questions and talk through the problems they encounter. Read More

In teaching young students, I find most success in a repeat-after-me style. It is easiest for students to understand how to create something when supplied with a quality example to mimic. I teach my students the importance of musicality and expression alongside the technical aspects of playing their instrument. If a student is looking to study something particular, such as preparing a solo for a competition, I not only help them work on the piece, but I aim to supply them with successful practice methods as well.

I would describe my teaching style as easy-going and fun. I know that there's a broad spectrum of styles that can apply to the way a student learns, but I find that getting to know the student first is key. Once I know the student's interests, we can start to learn how to play right away, and it's much more fun when they can learn a song that is familiar. Read More
