CELLO TEACHING WITHOUT BORDERS
I teach both
IN-PERSON & REMOTELY
At The Byrd Cello Studio, I'm passionate about nurturing the development of each cellist's unique artistic voice. Whether you're just starting out or you're an advanced player, I'll provide personalized guidance to help you reach your full potential. My training in both teaching and performance gives me a balanced approach, blending the best of European tradition with modern insights. We can explore classical, pop, or improvisation together—all ages and skill levels are welcome!
