I began my study with Deb, having no prior musical education whatsoever. I could not read a note of music; I didn’t even know how to hold the cello. I have been going to her now for several months and I have to be honest, it was the best decision I have made in a long time. She sets out on journey with you and is determined to see you succeed. Right off the bat I had a very warm feeling from her, she carries herself in a way that really makes you comfortable. As a beginner I was very intimidated to even go and see her due to the fact that she has been a cellist for many years and can create such beautiful music, and I couldn’t even hold my cello without feeling like a fool, but Deb is very humble and knows what it takes to become a cellist and she is very patient with you. She is aware of the time and effort it takes and will work with you to ensure you receive the very most out of your experience with her.
