Cello Lessons, Music Theory Tutoring
About
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Cello Performance (and a certificate in historical performance practice) with High Distinction from the Eastman School of Music, and am currently a full scholarship student at the Juilliard School in NYC.
I have spent many years honing my craft as a performer and a teacher, and have the experience necessary to help you meet your goals. I love to teach students from all backgrounds to appreciate music and the process of learning how to play an instrument!
Music can speak to everyone and anyone! Everyone is a musician, and anyone can learn to play an instrument, with the right, supportive, affirming teacher!
