Q: How did you get started playing your chosen instrument?

A: I started playing cello because it was the largest instrument offered in fourth grade orchestra! I fell in love with the instrument’s ability to play in such high and low registers after hearing the instrument for the first time. 

Q: What is your favorite piece or composer and why?

A: Elgar’s cello concerto. The piece displays the full range and expressive capabilities of the instrument, showcasing slow and inflective passages to bold and triumphant themes. 

Q: Why is music important to you? 

A: Music is an extremely important piece of my life. It allows me to express my feelings and emotions through my instrument and has taught me valuable skills and life lessons that I’ve taken outside of the practice room and stage. 

Q: What is your teaching philosophy?

A: My teaching philosophy is focused on teaching fundamental techniques of the cello and incorporating the techniques the student is learning into their repertoire.
