Private Cello Lessons
Teaching plays a central role in my musical life. I have held faculty positions at Washington and Lee University, Eastern University, Dallas Baptist University and the Binningen School for Gifted Students in Switzerland, and has given masterclasses at festivals worldwide. I maintain a private teaching studio in North Dallas, where I offer cello lessons to students from across Texas, the DFW Metroplex, Plano, Allen, Richardson, Frisco, Dallas, and Ft-Worth.
My students regularly earn top honors at the Collin County Concerto Competition, Dallas Symphonic Festival, MTNA competitions, TMEA All-State and All-Region, TPSMEA All-State and All-Region, and are members of the Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra and Fort Worth Youth Orchestra, and have gone on to study at Brown, Duke, Eastman, Indiana, Michigan, Peabody, Princeton, TCU, University of TX Austin, UNT, and Yale among others.
As a committed cello teacher in Plano, Allen, Richardson, Frisco, Dallas, Ft-Worth, I’m always interested in meeting new cello students!
