I teach private cello lessons in Ann Arbor, Michigan and was a former Suzuki cello, piano, and composition instructor at the Toledo Symphony School of Music in Toledo, Ohio from 2015 to 2017. I have taught private cello lessons since 2007. I joined the Ann Arbor Suzuki Institute in 2015.
My primary cello teachers included Prof. Tanya Remenikova (University of Minnesota), Dr. James Fiste (Central Michigan University), Dr. Clyde Beavers (Asbury and Transylvania Universities), and Dr. Pablo Mahave-Veglia (Grand Valley State University), and Dr. Andrea Yun (University of Michigan). I graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2012 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music where I focused on cello performance, music theory, and music composition.
In addition to cello, I studied Schenkerian analysis with Dr. David Damschroder (University of Minnesota), applications of music theory to opera with Dr. Michael Cherlin (University of Minnesota), 18th century counterpoint Dr. Matthew Bribitzer-Stull (University of Minnesota), and musical minimalism Dr. Sumanth Gopinath (University of Minnesota); I studied music composition with Prof. James Dillon (University of Minnesota), Dr. David Gillingham (Central Michigan University), Dr. José-Luis Maúrtua (Central Michigan University), and Dr. James Niblock (Michigan State University).
