Teaching Philosophy
For more information, Please visit wendyshih.com Throughout my 15+ years as an educator, it's been my steadfast belief to pass on my passion, skills, and perspective to the next generation. I'm deeply intrigued by understanding the needs of both students and parents. My lifelong mission is to popularize music education and culture while giving back to the community. My role extends beyond training students in performance, technique, notation, and musical perception. I also equip them with knowledge, understanding, and creativity. My goal is to ensure their success in music exams, assessments, auditions, and competitions. I approach this with unwavering enthusiasm and a can-do attitude. A special aspect of my teaching is gathering my young and senior students for unique opportunities at least once or twice a year. These occasions allow them to showcase their hard work in public settings. This approach results in rapid improvement and heightened interest in learning the Cello, as they thrive on the challenges presented. My commitment lies in sharing my passion, nurturing students' growth, and fostering a community of dedicated musicians.

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!
