CELLO TEACHING WITHOUT BORDERS
NOW ALL REMOTE TEACHING
NOW ALL REMOTE TEACHING
The goal of The Byrd Cello Studio is to mentor the development of the individual cellist. To facilitate your artistry and create guidance. My training both in teaching and performance gives my varied experience a perfect balance whether you are a beginner or advanced player. You can learn Classical, Pop, or Improvisation. I teach in the tradition of European training with modern insight.
I enjoy teaching all ages and levels of students.
Private lessons - all levels - it's never to late to make the magic of sound on the cello
