Cello Lessons Iowa

Instruments: Cello

I studied cello performance at Drake University under Dr. Ashley Sandor-Sidon. I have always been performance-minded. Learning how to push yourself and stay excited about your art can be difficult.

I want you to enjoy music, whether it's learning your favorite piece on the cello, rocking out on guitar, or exploring jazz, music theory, or songwriting.

A regular practice schedule is the most important part of taking lessons, and I work with students to make sure they know how they should be practicing during the week in order to be effective.
