About Julia

I have a background in diverse styles and can teach beginner lessons in classical, folk, and pop music. I hold a bachelor of music (BM) from Oberlin Conservatory and am working on my masters in music performance (MM) from McGill. I'm serious about helping students develop a solid foundation that they can continue to grow on.

I have taught privately a range of ages from child to adult and am experienced teaching ensemble classes and performing. I particularly enjoy getting to know students one on one and helping them find what makes them excited in music-making.

I first started teaching in high school with some younger students! Since then I've had students of all ages.

Oberlin Conservatory, BM in cello performance

McGill Schulich School of Music, MM in cello performance (current)

About the lesson

I like to start by getting to know the student, their background with cello, and any short and long-term goals they have for their lessons.

It's awesome if the student would like to play something for me at first to help me guage what kind of things we might work on. If the student doesn't have anything that's ok, we'll work through something together in our first lesson.

I've worked with students beginners-high intermediate and worked on solo pieces, audition repertoire, school orchestra music, technique, and music of the student's choosing.

Really look for a teacher who you feel like is going to listen to you and your needs. Whether or not you know what you want out of music lessons, talk to them about the ways that you can craft goals together.

Recently I went on a beautiful (hard) hike with my partner. I complained most of the way up about how tired I was, but by the time I reached the top I was just elated. This is not actually how I teach cello... But I used to have months of feeling like practicing was drudgery and then suddenly would have a joyful aha this is what music is about moment. Since then I've learned that you've gotta learn the tools to make it fun along the way as well, so that's what I'm all about. (I will improve my hiking as well.)

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Do I want to practice performing? What kinds places would I want to do this? (Spaces can be anywhere ranging from playing at home for the family to performing for neighbors or livestreams online to playing an audition or concerto with an orchestra.)

What kinds of music do you want to play? What are pieces you aspire to play even if it feels a little challenging now?

Are there any specific technical challenges I want to overcome?

What connects you to music? What is your background and how can we connect that to the music you are playing?

I took lessons with Julia in 2019 and it was a great experience!

I especially loved that Julia was able to help me have fun playing while also working to be better and better about basic fundamental stuff. We definitely worked together to come up with some good plans for my specific cello-goals and I appreciated that communication.

Julia was also super great at coaching me through specific sections and explaining how to think about particular passages. These lessons were really useful and a wonderful experience!
