    Alison, Adult Student

  • "I am a beginner adult cello student with Joan. I’m pursuing cello as a hobby. I have really appreciated Joan’s encouragement, patience and enthusiasm! The pace of learning is tailored to my needs and takes into account that I work full time and I am the parent of a teenager, so I never feel pressure to learn pieces at a faster rate than is possible for me. That said, I’ve been surprised and delighted by how the skills Joan teaches each week build on each other to advance my proficiency."
