Instruments: Violin Cello Viola
For the beginning string player I like to start with a Hal Leonard method book to communicate and help string players master the basics. Once the student has progressed I will begin some solo repertoire from varying genres. I find it is always helpful to allow students to play music that they enjoy - experiencing a range of both popular and classical pieces to broaden their horizons. I encourage my students to do a lot of listening as a part of their practice. Read More

I'm a violinist from New York City currently living in Texas. I have a passion for teaching and have been working with students for three years as a private violin teacher, chamber music counselor, tutor, and teaching assistant in NYC and Texas public schools. I graduated from Third Street Music School in 2013. I have had the privilege to play in halls in New York City like Symphony Space and Lincoln Center's Rose Theater, Avery Fisher Hall, and Bruno Walter Auditorium. Read More

One of the many advantages to private instruction, and what makes me so passionate about it, is that each student can move at their own speed. Private lessons should be tailored to the individual, so that the student can form a solid foundation. I believe in teaching students with encouragement and positivity, so that playing an instrument can be an enjoyable challenge, rather than a wretched slog. It is important to me that my students know I believe in them, and that our goals are agreed upon as a group. Read More

I am a passionate instructor who enjoys working with students of all ages. I started performing, professionally, at a very young age, during my 6 years at the Alabama School of Fine Arts. From there, I attended the Louisiana State University, as a cello performance major and performed with the school symphony, as well as the Alexandria Symphony, the Lake Charles Symphony and local venues. I went on to get my Master's degree at Georgia State University and then returned to Louisiana State University for my final degree in Cello Performance. Read More

Marcela started teaching violin and viola when she was 18 years of age at Cartago's School of Music and the University of Costa Rica. Later on she created her private studio when she arrived in Texas in 2007 after finishing her music studies, which she continues to do until the present day . She has made a difference with her students through the years: from helping them to improve their playing, to preparing them for auditions, enabling them to join orchestras, ensembles, and even prepare them for being accepted into music programs at major universities.

I teach a predominantly Suzuki as I learned with the Suzuki method and I am trained as a Suzuki instructor. I don't completely immerse my students with the Suzuki method and while learning how to play by ear, I teach students how to read music so that they are able to compose their own music. Read More

If you have a Music Degree, what is it in (Performance, Education, Musicology, Theory, Composition, etc) and why did you choose that degree?
Music Performance, I found it to be a better match for my career goals. I am the best teacher I can be when I am playing my best, and it helped that I had some free time outside of concert cycles to research human cognition and educational psychology. I have been able to learn many things though my research jobs, projects, and own interest that I could’ve learned as an Education Major, though if I had chosen that path, I wouldn’t be able to play cello at this high of a level. It worked out for me!
What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
I don’t recommend that students (especially children) practice for more than 10-15 minutes at time when just starting out, otherwise bad habits can build up quickly. I prefer to build successful practice habits from the beginning. When talking about skill building and advanced techniques, I work in increments of 5 minutes. Once you know how to do it (accomplished in lesson) maintain it for 5 minutes (in practice session). If that goes well, increase it to 10 minutes. Then 15. I usually find 20-30 minutes is plenty to start applying a technique successfully in assigned music. For passagework, start by doing it as you intend twice in a row. Then, 4x. Keep increasing by increments of 4. If you do this enough days in a row, it will become rote and you can focus on something else. Musical and creative practice goals will vary more from student to student. I like to challenge them to in a silly or drastic manner to help them find what sounds good to them.
When will I start to see results?
In order to progress, you need good practice habits and the ability to break things down into manageable parts. I help you establish the former by explaining how to do the latter in whatever you happen to be working on. Once you can do this, you will see results in every practice session. Progress starts small and grows over time.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I thought I wanted to play the flute because my elementary school has an after-school band program, but when I went to the local music store to rent a flute, I saw a cello for the first time and the was the beginning. It was like a Hollywood love-at-first-sight moment, and at every stage of life since it turned out to be the right decision.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
Most importantly, they should have an interest in music (even if just listening or singing, if you can’t assess aptitude that’s okay), and they need to be able to focus and absorb information for at least 30 minutes at a time.
