Online Lessons
- Maybe you have a few issues that need a second opinion or questions that need answering.
- Maybe you're from a town with a cello-teacher-drought and/or can't find the teacher with the right fit.
- Maybe you’re a cellist who has played awhile but just need some practice accountability.
Why Emily?
When you take a cello lesson with me either online or in-person, you get a completely personalized and holistic approach. I teach the whole student, not just their fingers. My job is to take each of my cello students a little further with their cello than when they walk in my studio door, or in the case of online lessons, a little further than when they first click “chat.” I value character development and emotional health throughout the education process. Personally, the cello is not just a tool to pay my bills, but provides me with holistic growth and creative development — I long to see my students reap these benefits from learning the instrument so many love to hear played.
Why the Suzuki Method?
Here’s a good answer… Keep in mind that the Suzuki Method is meant for any age, however young or old.
