I believe that private lessons are the best way for anyone to learn how to play an instrument. The one-on-one lesson means that students are given instruction that best suits how they, as individuals, learn. Private lessons also permit students to learn the type of music in which they personally are most interested. Also with private lessons a teacher can focus 100% of his or her attention on that one student to ensure that things such as hand positioning, posture or understanding of a particular concept are correct. I offer 30 minute, 45 minute and 1 hour cello, piano and music theory / ear training lessons. I teach students from beginners to very advanced. Students are given an opportunity to perform in recitals held over the course of the year.
