“Music exists for the purpose of growing an admirable heart.”

Shinichi Suzuki

  • Suzuki Philosophy

    The Suzuki method is based on the belief that all children can develop the ability to play instruments beautifully, just as all children learn to speak their native languages with ease. This method focuses on the importance of daily listening to repertoire and repetition as the tool to mastering skills. 

    The Suzuki Philosophy influences all of my lessons. Parent involvement in lessons is required for students 10 and under. This includes taking notes in lessons, and acting as a practice coach when students are home. 

  • Lessons

    My cello lessons focus on ear training, beautiful tone production, and comfort in cello posture and technique.  We establish a strong foundation and build on those skills by reviewing material and adding upgraded skills. 

  • Group Classes

    Group lessons are a great way to focus on ensemble skills, build community and reinforce what your student is learning in lessons. Please inquire if you are interested in your student joining group lessons.

FAQ

  • YES! The earlier you can start lessons the better. Students tend to get busier as they get older, so I always suggest lessons in the beginning years to create a good foundation. Then, if cello isn’t their main focus later in high school, they will have established confidence on the cello that will stick with them anytime they play the cello.

  • Duration of practice sessions varies for each level of playing. The most important thing is to have a regular daily practice routine. I suggest 5 days minimum for noticeable progress in playing.

  • I have at least two recitals a year. One in December and one in May.

  • Yes! I currently have several adult students. Generally 4-8pm on weekdays is in high demand for students in school, so I try to schedule adult lessons during the day if possible.

  • If there is room available in my schedule, yes. Your lesson tuition will be adjusted to only include the weeks you will be at lessons.
