Cello Lessons

Beginning - Advanced customized training using professional proven methods from day one. Since the bow's connection to the string is how we sound, keen focus and attention is given to the hand's relationship to the bow.

Our optimal sound comes from full understanding of this relationship and the balance of bow speed and pressure. Making the bow hand a dominant focus to lead rather than follow the left hand, creates a confident sound which propels us forward when blended with left hand efficiency.

Piano Lessons

Beginning - Intermediate students learn professional exercises and approachable repertoire to build the necessary foundation.

Patient and engaging lessons for kids as well as highly rewarding sessions for adults, with a calm systematic approach.

With music as a language to transcend all human barriers, the piano is at the heart of music's center. Learning to play the piano is a wonderful experience for everyone!
