Studio Teacher
2014 - present
My greatest passion is teaching in my private cello studio, where I work with dedicated students ranging from beginners to advanced players, ages 4 to retirees. With a Master’s Degree in Cello Pedagogy and full Suzuki Cello Certification through Book Ten, I tailor each lesson to meet the individual learning needs of every student.
My main studio is located in Hartland, WI. I have extensive experience teaching a wide range of ages and skill levels—from young beginners to early advanced students. Many of my students participate in organizations such as the Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra (MYSO) and the Wisconsin State Middle School Honors Orchestra and have gone on to study in competitive collegiate programs.
