About

I am a dedicated and passionate teacher of the cello and of music in general. I believe that through the study of the cello, and of music, a student can develop the necessary skills required to master any complex task and achieve all of their goals in life.  I have been performing in all styles of music as well as writing music in every genre.   To the task of teaching I bring years of experience of teaching students of all ages as well as of performing in countless venues and genres. I am certified as a Suzuki teacher from the school for strings and have taught adults in their 80's at workshops for adults that I have run for 25 years. I enjoy teaching students of all ages and levels and am sure I always will.  I hope I can help you realize your goals on the cello and in your life.

Teaching Style

  I firmly believe students of every age can progress effectively on the cello if they approach the task properly.  To acheive this,  experienced quidance is invaluable. I try to make humor as important a part of my teaching as I do developing self discipline and good study habits.  I look to tailor my teaching to the specifics of each student.  Through my many years of teaching experience and my own consistent drive to better perfect my own technique I believe I can facilitate my students' success.

Credentials & Affiliations

I have taught at the Center for Preparatory Studies in Music at Queens College,  the United Nations International School in NYC,  the Turtle Bay Music School also in NYC and at the Rockland Conservatory of Music.  I am certified as a Suzuki Cello Teacher by the School for Strings.
