They always served as a good inspiration in my own teaching and as I went from the practice rooms to the stages they became my great idols. Very recently,right after I graduated from Temple University, I went in a series of recitals in Brazil, one of which was a big hommage to my first piano teacher. Read More

Instruments: Cello Music

Teaching and performing are what I love to do. To me it is especially rewarding to see how people (kids and adults) grow in different aspects of their lives when learning an instrument, especially the Cello. I have experience teaching in a group setting as well as in an one-to-one setting. I have been teaching Cello since I started in college and that has helped me understand how each individual has different needs and requires different methods. Read More
