My teaching philosophy centers around discovering each students unique needs and goals. I've been a professional orchestral cellist for almost 20 years with the Bangor Symphony Orchestra. However, I have also performed as a soloist, chamber musician & in many non-classical groups across the northeast. My students have participated in all-state festivals, competitions, chamber music programs, recitals, summer music festivals, recording projects, youth orchestras, university orchestras & even gone on to music conservatories to major in music. I genuinely enjoy helping people of all ages & ability levels fufill their musical dreams.

I feel extremely lucky always feeling excited to go to work. Whether its an orchestra rehearsal, string quartet rehearsal, concert, outreach program, community service performance, group coaching or private lesson...I'm looking forward to it. What more could one ask for!?
