I am a cello teacher who embraces the following principles, and uses them to guide me as an instructor.
Fostering and guiding my students toward independence is crucial not only for developing functional musicians but also developing healthy autonomy and self-determination that will serve them well throughout their entire lives, both in and outside musical experiences.
I strive to be a nurturing, knowledgeable, and insightful teacher. I have a tremendous love of and respect for students young and old, and highly value their education and development. I seek to be a teacher that guides and nurtures students to be independent, successful and caring human beings while simultaneously teaching the cello.
