Cabello String Studio
About
Our studio provides individual instruction that is tailored to the student’s needs. We strive to bring students to another level of musicianship. From beginner to advanced, each student has their own level of excellence that is unlocked and honed.
Lessons are offered through Mozingo Music in O’Fallon, MO, in my personal studio in Maryland Heights, MO, or online. Please sign up for lessons at: cabellostringstudio.mymusicstaff.com
Not only does our studio offer individual lessons, but we offer an instrumental ensemble through Midwest Center for Creative Arts. www.MidwestCCA.org

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
We taylor each lesson to what the student needs and wants. Solos, ensembles, duets, orchestral, composition, theory; we will work on it. If a student has some type of ownership of what they learn, they will be more inclined to practice and strive for excellence.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Lessons are priced at $128 a month, with the 5th week of the month being free. This equates to about 6 free lessons a year. Because of this, we do not do make ups unless a student is preparing for solo/ensemble or auditions.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Pick a teacher that fits you. Not every teacher is for every student. If you need a strict teacher, pick a strict one, if you need one that will cut you some slack because of your schedule, pick them.
