Cello lessons

Every student is an individual, and as a teacher, I respect this individuality. I firmly believe that people can learn to do anything. While lessons should be serious, they should also be fun. That is why I try to make my students feel good.  I like to teach them to become more aware and to have a positive attitude with confidence, so they will enjoy the learning process more and therefore have a better time while they achieve their goals.  I work slowly to increase confidence to help students learn something that they may have thought they couldn't do. A student's unique inner world is fascinating. Often times they find out they are smarter than they realize, and I strive to help them perceive this. Lessons should be about discovery allowing thus the student to keep motivated. This motivation will strengthen the things they know and the ability to learn more.

Music education

Studies have revealed that learning a musical instrument at an early age helps develop other learning skills. They also show that at any age, those who play a musical instrument often have higher levels of executive function that includes planning, strategizing, and attending to detail. Plus, it is a beautiful way of also developing creative and artistic skills at any stage.
