It’s never too late to start.
Whether you’re beginning as an adult, returning to the cello after years away, or looking for lessons for a young musician, you’re very welcome here.
I’ll meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity and confidence. Every lesson is tailored to the individual student and their goals.
I aim to create a calm, encouraging environment where students feel safe to learn, explore and grow.
Lessons are built around purposeful, manageable steps, without pressure for perfection. Mistakes are a natural and welcome part of learning.
Warm, encouraging teaching rooted in musical excellence.
I'm a dedicated music educator with over 25 years' instrumental teaching experience. As well as my private teaching practice in Swavesey on the Fen Edge of Cambridge, I work with cellists at The Perse Prep School.

From 2021 to 2023, I was proud to serve as principal cellist of the Cambridge Philharmonic. I currently perform professionally with the Rose Quartet, providing music for weddings and private events.

I offer an initial lesson at my standard rate to ensure a good fit for each student.
