Students play cellos in a sunlit room with large windows, seated on a shiny floor. The mood is calm and focused.
Group Cello Lesson

If you've ever heard the sound of a cello, you know it stays with you.It’s not flashy like the violin.Not booming like the drums.It’s honest, warm, and soulful—like a friend who sits quietly beside you and says, “You’re not alone.”

Maybe you've thought, “I wish I could play something like that.”Or “It’s too late to start now.”Or “Maybe my child would fall in love with music if they had the right teacher.”


I'm here to tell you:


Now is the perfect time.The cello is the perfect instrument.And virtual lessons can be the perfect path forward. Let me explain why.


🎶 1. The Cello Is More Than an Instrument—It’s a Voice


There’s something deeply human about the cello. Its range matches the human voice. It can cry. It can sing. It can soar. It can whisper.I’ve seen people laugh, cry, and fall in love with music all over again after just a few minutes of playing. It’s not just about sound. It’s about feeling something real. Whether you're 6 or 60, the cello becomes a safe place—a way to express joy, sadness, strength, and imagination without saying a single word.


🧠 2. It’s Good for Your Brain, Your Body, and Your Soul


Learning the cello sharpens your mind. It:


  • Builds focus and patience

  • Improves memory and coordination

  • Stimulates both the left (logic) and right (creative) sides of your brain


But it also does something even deeper:


It soothes anxiety.It relieves stress.

It gives you a creative outlet that asks nothing of you but your presence.

For kids, it builds discipline and confidence.For adults, it becomes a form of meditation.For everyone, it becomes a lifelong friend.


💻 3. Why Learn the Cello Online?


You might be surprised to hear this from a classically trained musician, but I truly believe virtual lessons are one of the best things to happen to music education.


Here’s why:


  • 🌍 Access from anywhere – No matter where you live, I can teach you.

  • 🕓 Flexible scheduling – Life is busy. Your cello lessons should work for you.

  • 🎥 Tech-enhanced learning – With screen sharing, video reviews, and play-along tracks, you’ll progress faster than you think.

  • 🎯 One-on-one attention – My lessons are fully personalized, not cookie-cutter.


I bring joy, humor, and depth to every Facetime call. My students feel seen, heard, and uplifted—whether they’re 7 or 70.


👩‍🏫 4. Who I Am—and Why I Teach This Way


My name is Suzana, and I've spent my entire life surrounded by music.

I’ve performed in over 10,000 concerts, recorded albums, and played for audiences around the world. I’m a published author of musical children’s books (Hello, Cello!, Bravo, Violin!, and more), and my newest memoir, Symphony of Kindness, shares my life’s journey through music and compassion.But my greatest honor is not performing for crowds. It’s helping one person—you—unlock the music inside of them. I teach cello because I believe in second chances. In new beginnings. In beauty that unfolds slowly, lovingly, and with care.


👶 5. For Children: Build Confidence, Focus, and Joy


Children thrive in music when they feel encouraged, not judged.In my virtual studio, we use rhythm games, songs, silly sounds, and musical storytelling to make cello fun, engaging, and educational.


I’ve seen:


  • Shy children find their voice

  • Restless kids develop focus

  • Young hearts discover confidence


With the support of a kind teacher, children learn not only music—but also resilience, self-esteem, and emotional expression.


🧑‍🎓 6. For Adults: It’s Never Too Late


I’ve taught adults who:


  • Always dreamed of learning an instrument

  • Used to play, and want to return to music

  • Are looking for stress relief or a creative outlet

  • Simply want to do something beautiful for themselves


Some of my adult students are lawyers. Some are nurses. Some are retired grandparents. But they all share one thing: the courage to begin. You don’t need to know anything before we start. You just need to show up. And I’ll take care of the rest.


🧰 7. What You’ll Need to Get Started


Starting cello online is simpler than you might think. You’ll need:


  • A cello (rented or purchased—I’ll guide you)

  • A music stand (or a chair and a pillow!)

  • A phone, tablet, or computer with a camera

  • A quiet space and an open heart


You don’t need fancy equipment or a music degree.Just a willingness to learn. I’ll send you everything else.


💬 8. Hear From My Students


“My son had tried three instruments before cello. Suzana made it fun, and now he begs for lessons!”— Emily, mom of 10-year-old


“At 72, I finally did something for myself. These lessons have become my weekly joy.”— Karen, adult beginner


“I didn’t think online lessons could be this good. Suzana is a treasure.”— James, 37-year-old cellist


 9. Why Now?


Because the world needs more beauty. And so do you.Because life is short. And it’s time you said yes to the things that light you up.Because whether you're 7 or 70, music will meet you exactly where you are—and gently lead you somewhere new. There’s never a perfect time. But there’s always a right time. And that time might just be now.
