I am currently accepting new students! I teach students as young as 5-years-old and up to any age. Contact me to set up a trial lesson!
As a teacher, I provide personalized music and techniques to each individual's interests and needs. I help with and encourage goal setting for each student. I teach efficient and engaging practice techniques. I make time for sight reading and chamber music each lesson through cello duets.

Most importantly, I strive to instill a love for music and learning, while having fun!
