Background & Experience

I have taught for over 10 years and taught over 100 students in Chicago and Washington D.C. to delegates and foreign ambassadors. I am a baroque cellist by nature. Baroque music has been a foundation for all music. I have developed easy simple technique rules for my students to follow to start a strong foundation. My goal for all of my students is to know enough knowledge to play the cello throughout your life without having the stress of becoming a YoYo Ma. When you are ready to kick it up a notch I can move you on to the next stage. I am wonderfully easy to work with, but I also have expectations that my students take FOCUSED time to spend on bettering themselves on the cello.
