I love my students! Not only do we work on fundamental concepts, such as sound development and technical mastery, I especially place a high emphasis on musical expression, and creating well-rounded students, which includes music theory and history.
I have teaching experience ranging from students who are first discovering the instrument, as well as advanced students looking to do competitions, enter youth orchestra programs, or audition for music schools. I also welcome adult learners who want to enjoy a life with music. No matter the student, I keep organized to not only meet goals, but strive beyond expectations. Let’s see what you’re capable of!
My teaching is informed by my professional experience as a cellist in many orchestras throughout the US and Europe. Awards include 2nd place at at the European National Competition "Sv. Obretenov", 3rd Place at the International Competition "Usti na Orlitzi", and winner of the Beethoven All Strings Club competition in Tennessee, USA.
I am originally from Bulgaria and received degrees from Bulgarian National Academy of Music, Boston University, and Indiana University. My most influential teachers have included Janos Starker and Felice Farrell.
