Testimonials
“Absolutely wonderful! Olivia is an incredibly warm and nurturing teacher that has realistic goals for students while also being patient and encouraging. We only worked together briefly but it was such a wonderful experience to strategize problem areas together and slowly figure them out. Could not recommend highly enough!”
“Olivia is amazing! I started taking lessons with her after taking a decade long break from cello, and I was really nervous about jumping back into it. Olivia provided such a calm and generative environment to learn, practice, and gain confidence. The lessons felt deeply collaborative and were really personalized to my individual needs. Olivia is a kind, thoughtful, and fun teacher, and I would definitely recommend her!”
