CELLO TEACHING WITHOUT BORDERS
I teach both
IN-PERSON & REMOTELY
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.
