About
I am a cellist and composer with 18yrs in the classical music industry and 8yrs of teaching experience. I hold a dual BM in cello performance & composition/music theory as well as an MM in cello performance, both from Boston University. I am currently studying for a Performer's Diploma in Manhattan, NY. I am proficient in private cello lessons, private composition lessons, and music theory tutoring, both in person and online via Skype or Zoom.
My main area of expertise is with cello teaching, where I have worked with students from the elementary school age to beginning adults. I highly emphasize playing with physical ease, ear training, and always being in touch with the emotional power of music. I grew up learning through the Suzuki Method books and often use those pieces when I teach younger students. As a private, freelancing teacher, I have had experience managing my own studio from 2014-present day, in cities such as Boston & New York City.
As a cellist I have won solo competitions, appeared as a soloist with orchestras, and have received top merit and academic awards at my conservatories. I have also performed in venues that include Boston Symphony Hall, Jordan Hall, Tanglewood, Blossom Music Center and Carnegie Hall. As a composer, I was accepted into the Boston University program after only 2 years of writing music and have had my music premiered in cities like Boston.
