Isabella P. Cello: Cello Lessons and Live Music

*Please note, In-person lessons are ONLY held: -at student’s location if in Manhattan/Brooklyn, NY (Sunday-Tuesday) OR - at my home studio in Wilton, CT (Wednesday-Friday) Zoom lessons are held anywhere!* About me: - Bachelor’s degree in cello performance from The Juilliard School (2020), with performance experience throughout the US, Canada, China, Russia and Switzerland - 10+ years of experience teaching private students in Fairfield County, CT - Faculty member at The Fairfield School of Music - Cello faculty member at “The Cello Camp” in Westport, CT since 2018 - Volunteer teaching artist at the Corona Youth Music Project (Núcleo Corona) - Cello instructor at the Harmony Program Summer Camp - Cofounder/former director of the Roots of Music camps in Wilton, CT, and Congers, NY While my primary training is in classical music, I also have extensive experience in arranging and performing pop/rock/movie genres and appreciate opportunities to explore various types of music. I work with students to identify unique goals in their cello practice. I believe in creating specialized lesson plans for each student that build strong technical and musical foundations but always prioritize finding joy in the sharing of music. I also try to be readily available to assist students outside of lessons and encourage students to send practice progress updates or questions that I can comment on throughout the week.
