About Sam
I hold a Master's in Music from the University of Ottawa and have been teaching for the past 10 years. I work with students of all ages and levels, and especially excel at setting up beginners! I love inspiring students to learn how to express themselves through music and this means every lesson is low-pressure, engaging and packed with tools for your practice. Can't wait to meet you and get started on your cello journey!

As your cello teacher, my primary goal is to guide you through the foundations of playing and offer effective practice tips and routines. In addition to building your technique, I aim to provide you with a musically engaging experience that is personalized to your learning style and inspires you to develop your creativity through music.
MY VALUES
Excellence: I’ll keep you accountable and provide structured practice routines that are sustainable for your schedule.
Adaptability: lessons are catered to your individual needs, not based on one particular method. Want to learn how to produce an amazing sound? No idea how to read music? We start from where your experience level is at today.
Communication: lessons are a judgement-free zone. I value open communication and offer support outside the lesson. Want to learn something that we haven’t covered yet? Just shoot me a message and we’ll work on it next lesson.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
Technique: build your foundation and learn how to physically produce sound on the cello with ease. I will provide scales, studies and technical exercises to boost your practice every week.
Repertoire: learn pieces chosen for your level, create goals for what you’ve always wanted to perform (Bach Cello Suites, anyone?).
Theory: learn how to read music in addition to understanding rhythm, dynamics, and phrasing in order to better understand the foundation of music.
Musicality: my favourite thing about teaching cello is inspiring students to find their own voice through music. In every lesson we’ll explore musical interpretation and how to bring this out in your playing in way that is true to you!
Recommendations

Sam teaches my 12 year old daughter the cello. Luna has some learning differences and Sam really knows how to communicate with her and motivate her. Sam’s a great teacher!
I’ve been learning cello with Sam for over a year and couldn’t recommend her more highly. She is incredibly gifted and patient, and was immediately receptive to my learning needs and adapted her teaching style to suit them. If you are anywhere from a beginning to intermediate learner looking for a teacher you cannot go wrong, Sam will have you drastically improving your technique and sound within a single lesson.
