Cello Lessons For All Ages

In teaching the cello on Long Island I've learned only that what a student learns is matched by the energy and passion of their teacher. I look forward to working with new students, overcoming musical hurdles of any and all difficulties, and showing all the joys that practicing an instrument can provide. I am currently enrolled at LIU Post for instrumental performance in cello with an expeected graduation date of 2020. In all 3 years at LIU I have served as the Co-Principal cellist to the LIU Post orchestra, and was the youngest ever winner of the LIU Concerto Competition in 2017. My performance experience is extensive, but includes such venues as The Greene Space in NYC, Lincoln Center, and the Tilles Center. I have attended and performed in master classes for such prestigious groups as the Shanghai String Quartet, the Knights, Sarah Lee, and Ethel String Quartet, as well as being a guest artist and performer for the Pierrot Consort. I have great enthusiasm for beginning students and seasoned students alike, and look forward to helping anyone see the joy and happiness music can bring.

Aside from being my passion and greatest pleasure in life, playing my instrument has opened so many doors for me that I otherwise wouldn't have even been aware of! The ability to teach and pass on this love of music and the fine arts to a new generation interested in learning is such a thrill and excitement for me because I can hopefully make them feel the way I feel about the joys of learning an instrument and challenging yourself to learn new pieces and excel higher and higher in your studies.
