RCM Smart Start Certified
RCM Examiner
I am a cellist, chamber musician and passionate music teacher for children and adults.
My lessons are engaging, fun and you will learn a lot about musicianship in a very short time. Lessons are available in person and online.
I am member of the prestigious College of Examiner of the RCM for strings, so I am qualified to train students specifically toward the completion of successful exams in the Certificate Program.
I teach cello and chamber music (all levels) and piano for beginners. I also offer individual or group classes following the Smart Start Program (Music + Fun + Neuroscience).
