FAQ’s

  • Yes! Whether you are in person or online, its up to you. You have to decide what to do with your practice time and playing. You could go in person 3 days a week to lessons, but if you never devote the right energy to it it goes nowhere. You can have one good online lesson, then make the most of the rest of your week #theother6days and make lots of progress.

  • This is why I only offer lessons and lesson packages that include a video recording of you recorded with a mobile device.

  • Yes I started the YouTube channel, the cello online, in July of 2020. I have also been a classroom orchestra teacher certified in both Missouri and Alabama since 2007 and have been a private cello instructor since 2004 after completing my degree in cello performance in 2003.
