I wasn't able to take private lessons until I was in high school and know all too well how difficult it can be to figure things out on your own. Having started later than others, I quickly learnt how to absorb the most necessary information about how to play the cello and filter out the parts that got in the way of me being a better performer. I am a strong believer that your personal sound is the foundation of all things music and technique. My teaching method is designed to inspire confidence in your sound so you may quickly learn how to teach yourself.

Alex was an exceptional cello teacher for my son Astor, who began lessons at age 12. With patience and expertise, Alex nurtured Astor’s talent, fostering his love for music and building a solid technical foundation. Alex’s inspiring guidance and personalized approach made a profound impact on Astor’s growth.
Alex was my tutor for three years and got me back in playing shape over the pandemic! His passion for music and knowledge of the instrument made each lesson invaluable; it was often easy to forget that we were online!
I’ve been a student of Alex for a year and I highly recommend him! He is very adaptive to my suggested repertoire, has infinite patience and I have learned a lot over this year.
