I was lucky enough to be able to work as an assistant teacher at a music camp when I was in middle school, and since then I have continued to grow as a musician and teacher alike. I am fortunate to have many great teachers in my life, past and present, and my methods are very much inspired by their highly effective teaching styles.



I recently graduated from The Boston Conservatory at Berklee, under the tutelage of Andrew Mark. This includes pedagogy classes and other seminars that make me a better teacher by offering up more studies, methods, and options for me to use in my lessons.

Teaching experience as a freelance private cello teacher for 8 years, as well as at the In Tune Music School in Maplewood, NJ.

Other cello studies have been with Nicholas Tzavaras of the Shanghai Quartet, Alistair MacRae at the Brevard Music Center, Cynthia Longley, and Scott Delello.

I believe the first lesson is critical to see if it is a good fit for student and teacher, and to generate interest in the cello for the student. I have different processes depending on the age of the student and the level of proficiency on the cello coming in. If the student is a young child and a beginner, getting them and their guardian(s) comfortable with me and the instrument is priority one. If the student is a little older and has played in their school's orchestra or a similar setting, it might be possible to work on some technique and create a plan for how to make them a better cellist, since they already have some experience.



I've worked with students from beginner (no experience) through advanced (college orchestra, 10 years on the cello), kindergarten through adult. With the right mindset, teacher, and practice plan, starting to learn the cello is possible at any time in one's life.



Pay attention to the teacher's style of teaching, and teaching philosophy rather than performance resume. This will help determine if they are a good fit. Try 2 lessons, and by then it should be clear what kind of teacher they are. If you are not satisfied, it is probably best to keep looking! But not to worry, there is always a teacher that can be found to fit the needs of any student.



In the summer of 2020, I wasn't able to perform as often due to the pandemic, so my cellist neighbor and I started a series of safe, socially-distanced outdoor concerts for the neighborhood. We played classical, rock, and pop duets, as well as each performing movements from the Bach Cello Suites. It was a great way to continue performing live music and injecting some positive vibes in the community in that challenging time.



A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
How serious/committed am I about music?

Why study the cello?

What kind of music do I like to play, and what will make me excited and motivated to practice?

Do I have a good support system (family, friends, colleagues, etc.) when embarking on a new instrument?
