In-Person and Online Lessons

In-person lessons are held at my private home studio in Wilton, Connecticut (Fairfield County). Online Zoom lessons are also offered to students residing anywhere in the U.S. 

My students range from ages five to 60+ years old. Some students are picking up an instrument for the very first time, others are preparing for regional orchestra auditions, and a number of students are even accomplished musicians who play other instruments and are now looking to experience the cello.

I believe that anyone can develop meaningful skills and practices through musical study. I work with each cellist to devise a tailored lesson plan that allows them to implement cello into their lives in a way that keeps them excited and curious. Scales, etudes, and fundamental technique exercises are regular parts of my lessons. I enjoy using Suzuki cello volumes for newer students, and work through the standard classical cello repertoire of show pieces, sonatas, and concertos with more experienced cellists. I also enjoy exploring pop and film music with cellists who are eager to learn outside of the classical genre, and I have helped many students arrange and perform their own versions of favorite contemporary tunes.
