Private Lessons

I am excited to welcome new students into my private studio here in Columbus! Whether you or your child is a beginner, or already has experience, I look forward to guiding each student on their musical journey. I am committed to creating an encouraging space where students can grow as musicians and individuals.

🎻Teaching Philosophy

I believe that every child can learn and grow in an encouraging, supportive environment. Just as children learn to speak by listening and repeating, the Suzuki approach helps students learn music as a language — with patience, practice, and joy along the way. My goal is to nurture not only strong cello skills, but also confidence, creativity, and a love of music that lasts a lifetime. Each student is guided at their own pace, with lessons tailored to their unique strengths and goals, creating a positive foundation that extends far beyond music.
