With over 15 years of teaching experience in New York, including eight years at Crestwood School, I take an individualized approach to learning. My goal is to help each student develop a strong technical foundation while discovering their own relationship with music.

Lessons can include cello technique, posture and bowing, intonation, reading and writing music, repertoire, improvisation, composition, recording, and music production. We can work toward specific goals or explore music more openly through experimentation and listening.

I believe learning an instrument is about more than mastering technique. It is also about developing curiosity, learning to listen deeply, and discovering how to express yourself through sound. My approach combines traditional instrumental study with creative exploration, helping students become not only better musicians but more independent and thoughtful listeners.

Whether you are picking up the cello for the first time, returning to the instrument, preparing for auditions, or looking to explore improvisation and composition, lessons are tailored to your interests and pace.
