Suzuki Cello Lessons (Ages 4+)

​​

With over a decade of teaching experience, I offer 1:1 cello lessons to students as young as 4 yrs old! As a bilingual educator—Mandarin & English, I teach primarily through the Suzuki Method, nurturing through listening, repetition, and encouragement. Every student learns and grows in their own way, so I adapt my lessons to fit who they are. I draw on their personality and learning style while making sure they build a strong technical foundation.

​

Lessons are held weekly in 30-minute, 45-minute, or 60-minute increments depending on age and level. Currently, there is no group class in my studio (but this may change in the future). 

​

I believe the heart of a 1:1 lesson is the teacher-student relationship. By creating a fun, safe, and encouraging environment, I help students find joy in learning and build a lasting connection with their instrument.​

My students have achieved great success in the Junior & Senior District Orchestra, Middle and High School Honors County Orchestra, CODA Honor Orchestra, ASTA Certification Advancement Program, Modesto Youth Orchestra, New England Conservatory's Preparatory School, Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra, and more. ​​​​​​​
