Cello Lessons
‘Scott is very patient and enthusiastic, two characteristics that make him a great cello teacher. He loves to share the joy that he finds in music. Even when our daughter is tired and grumpy from a day of school, she is transformed into a smiling and happy person after her lesson. ‘

Tailored Lessons
When it comes to cello lessons, I believe in tailoring my teaching approach to the unique needs and goals of each student. With fifteen years of teaching experience, and many years of studying with fine cello teachers— including Jennifer Culp, Ron Leonard, and Irene Sharp— I have gained high-quality pedagogical experience for working with people of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels. I specialize in teaching beginners and advanced students— adults and children.
Beginner Child
I offer to start kids with two lessons per week for the first three weeks so that the students can learn enough fundamentals to speed up the initial phases of progress.
Intermediate to Advanced Children & Adults
Lessons are held once a week.
Lessons are 50-60 minute sessions.
All of my students can submit a weekly video of their practice and receive feedback from me before the next lesson.
