How do I acquire a cello?
There are budget-friendly and convenient rental services available, which I can recommend upon request. Be sure to consider size of the instrument before acquiring! Sometimes purchasing a cello can be most financially feasible in the long-term; however, this should be a careful process. I am always happy to help you search for “your cello” - I can recommend luthiers/instrument shops in NYC, and accompany you in-person throughout the process for a small fee.
What age is appropriate for starting?
While there is no golden answer, it is important to note that private musical lessons take dedication and commitment. For children, a good age to start would be when they show excitement and interest towards music. For adults, it is never too late to start music lessons! I believe music and instrumental skills can be absorbed and enjoyed at any age.
What lesson length would be best?
The lesson length ultimately depends on your learning style - some might prefer to go more in depth and into greater detail during the course of a lesson. I usually will only travel to a student for a 45 minute lesson or longer.
