Teaching Philosophy
I believe that the job of a music teacher is to create a learning environment that is fun, one where the students feel like what they are learning would help them to reach their goals. Each lesson is tailored to the unique needs and interests of the student, so no lesson is exactly the same. As a musician to me to learn and develop a true passion for Cello is to: - Make your day be bright - A Daily celebration of all that is YOU - The musical delights of playing Cello - Music is the foundation of cultures - Start where you can, start with what you do everyday

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
