Thank you for your interest in learning the cello--
the gorgeous, many-faceted instrument that can say anything!
Use the Website!

I am happy to think carefully with you any time
about the musician in your family
as we cultivate greater artistry,
and powers of independence each year. just make a phone appointment with me.

Occasionally there is an unexpected need to reschedule a lesson. Sometimes I can,
sometimes I can’t reschedule your lesson
according to Opus policies,
but I do whatever I can.
Trading lesson times with another family can work well.
