Professional Classical Cello Lessons

In addition to teaching piano lessons, I offer cello lessons for beginners up to grade V.  I specialize in lessons for children.  I also teach older children and adults from beginning to advanced levels.  My broad experience in teaching, accompanying, and performing offers the student outstanding assistance in interpretation and technique.  I prepare interested students for piano, cello, and theory examinations with the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM).  Students may play in prestigious Recitals performed at the Foothill Presbyterian Church in San Jose or other excellent venues and/or at relaxed home recitals.

I studied piano, cello, and accompaniment at the Royal College of Music and I am an Associate of the Royal College of Music (ARCM) in London England. I have had master classes with Nadia Boulanger and extensive experience in England and in the Bay Area.  I have been piano soloist with the Foothill Orchestra, playing “Piano Concerto No. 22” by W.A. Mozart .  I have been the Principal Cellist of the Foothill Orchestra and play cello with the Silicon Valley Symphony.
