Welcome, or welcome back! Despite the many challenges and unknowns caused by the pandemic, I am very excited about this year of cello!
Group schedule and studio calendar
The group lesson schedule and studio calendar is here. It is also posted on the Students and Families Category.
You will notice that groups and concerts are virtual for 2020 and in-person for 2021. This is subject to change, but it is my hope. 🙂 Please take a moment to mark down all of the concert dates.

Upbeat Music app
Groups will be virtual on a new app called Upbeat Music. Every Monday afternoon, you will be emailed a room invite. You needn’t download an app; simply join the room using a PC or iPad. The app has some cool features that will enhance learning, but it will require parent assistance at first. Please read instructions and complete steps here.
