As a teacher, I hope to encourage a curiosity and openness to musical ideas, emphasize a
balanced and thoughtful approach to playing the instrument, foster exploration of the full
range of historical styles, and help my students find their own voice.

Teaching is a very important part of my life. I am fortunate to have worked with wonderful musicians in my studios at The Boston Conservatory, Boston University and at the Cello Seminar. I am enormously proud of their accomplishments. Never before has there been such a variety of ways to be a musician in the world. Though financial difficulties and dwindling government support of the arts has driven us to rethink many traditional career options the solutions people have come up with are truly inspiring.
