Private Cello Lessons in Talent, Oregon

Private cello lessons planned around your child’s level and goals.

I teach private lessons to Talent students ages 5–18 with calm, patient instruction. We work on posture, bow movement, left-hand position, playing in tune, rhythm and music reading in age-appropriate steps, with clear guidance for practice at home.
