I began teaching private cello lessons to beginner musicians at the age of fourteen. By the time I was eighteen, I was teaching intermediate-level musicians. I took a break from private teaching once I graduated from high school. This was so I could begin my job as an assistant marching band technician. At this job, I taught small groups the fundamentals of marching. In addition, I was responsible for teaching low brass and low woodwinds the music for their halftime show as well as all the pep tunes each year.

My primary focus is accommodating the learning style of my students, regardless of age and skill level. I incorporate visual, auditory, and physical teaching methods that target the specific needs of each student. I also consider the desires of each of my students. Not every student wants to achieve the same goals or play the same type of music. As far as curriculum is concerned, I focus on performance and music theory for both beginner and intermediate-level musicians. For performance, I work on posture, bow hold, scales and arpeggios, and musical expression. The music theory I teach consists of note reading, ear training, counting and time, key signatures, and more.
