-- I believe in tailoring Cello lessons to each student's individual musical interests. While classical music is my main focus, there are many kinds of music that I enjoy and work with students to develop - including Jazz, Rock, World music and Improvisation. Matching repertoire to a student's interest and playing ability is key to developing motivation for my students. -- A solid base of technique is essential. With this in mind, a steady regimen of scales and etudes (studies designed to perfect specific technique building skills) are a part of my students' private practice and cello lessons. An understanding of Classical Music's history, a foundation of theory, ear training, and rhythm are all important aspects of my cello student's education as well. -- Cello lessons must be fun and rewarding in order for the student to generate the focus, passion and commitment to persist and thrive. Music making should be a pleasure, a source of inspiration, and means of expression.
