Note from the teacher:


  Hello Parents and Students! For my existing students this goes without saying, but for prospective students, it's important for you guys to know what my teaching is all about.
 
  I am a dedicated and energetic teacher. I believe I have a responsibility to pass down the traditions of cello playing that were at one time passed down to me and to provide my students with a positive musical experience that keeps them motivated and enthusiastic.

  My aim is to guide each student to reach a high standard in playing with encouragement and direction. Musical learning does not end with the students lessons but must continue once they are home, so I strive to be easily accessible to parents and students to answer any questions concerning the cello throughout the week.
