I love teaching and put my heart into it. I grew up at a boarding school and did not receive all the training I needed early on, but worked hard to catch up when I had the opportunity to study abroad. I began the cello at twelve, and learning music gave me confidence and helped me understand other cultures as I travelled. Young people face many distractions today, including phones and video games. I believe every young person should have the chance to learn music and discover the difference it can make. I am easygoing, love encouraging people to learn, and believe music can change the world. I look forward to meeting you.
