Do you teach all ages and levels?
Yes! I have taught students of all ages and levels from beginner to conservatory level for as long as I have played the cello. My private studio today is comprised mainly of adult beginner/intermediate students. No prior musical experience is required.

Do you need a cello to begin lessons? Where can I rent?

Yes, you can rent a cello, bow and case at the following shops: David Gage, NYC Quality Strings, Virtuoso Resources, Robertson & Sons, Stringworks, Johnson Strings. There is a studio cello that students are welcome to borrow during lessons but some prefer to bring their own since they get accustomed to hand placement on their personal instruments.

How many lessons/month do students receive?

Students sign up for all their lesson times online at Calendly which shows monthly availability (Mon and Tue at 6:30, 7:15, and 8pm). Lessons work as subscription packages with a minimum of two 45min lessons/month, and up to four lessons/month.

What if I need to take a pause from lessons?

Life gets hectic! I totally understand and am happy to accommodate with at least two weeks notice to pause your subscription.

Do you offer group class?

Ensemble Class is held on Monday evenings 7:30-8:30pm once a month. Class format includes: warm up with scales, focusing on sight-reading skills, practicing group pieces, honing in on group playing skills and sharing practice ideas. All levels welcome.

Do you do trial lessons?

Yes, I offer prospective students a 30 min trial lesson for free. Reach out for a time slot!

What’s the best way to get to my lessons?

We are located off the York St stop on the F line or the High St stop on the A/C.
