I teach the basics using a combination of methods, customizing lessons to each student's skill level, ability level, and interest (classical/folk/modern). For beginning students I suggest using the Suzuki Method, or Hal Leonard's Essential Elements.

Following a long, fun and successful 20+ year career as a pro musician, I became a full-time music teacher.

I started playing the cello in 5th grade after attending a Middle School showcase where they showed off all their clubs to rising 6th grade students.

Like the great mother she is, she took me to a local music store and had me playing shortly afterwards. Read More
