Whether you have a budding young musician at home, or you’re an adult inspired to pick up the cello — you're in the right place. I’ll meet you where you are and help you get where you want to go.
Every student brings their own story to the music stand. That’s why I tailor each lesson to your goals:
🎼 Build strong technique
🎧 Understand music at its core
🎹 Get curious about creativity and improvisation
You can expect purposeful, manageable steps with no pressure for perfection. Mistakes are part of the process and we welcome them as stepping stones to growth.
Warm, encouraging, and rooted in musical excellence — let’s explore where the cello can take you.
