I have just finished a bachelor's degree in music education and cello performance from Roosevelt University. My student teaching experience was in Mt. Prospect with Laura Fry at Lincoln Middle School, Fairview Elementary and Lyons Park Elementary as well as with Patrick O'Connor at Prospect High School. My main cello teacher was Barbara Haffner of the Lyric Opera and I have also worked with David Schrader from the Music of the Baroque ensemble, Robert Chen of the Chicago Symphony and violist Roger Chase. In addition to my instrumental experience I have also composed chamber and orchestral works for professional, amateur and student musicians. |
