Master the Cello with Suzana: Expert Lessons from a World-Class Musician with 30 Years of Performing & Teaching Experience

I wholeheartedly recommend Suzana as a cello instructor for learners of any age, but particularly for those embarking on their musical journey later in life, like myself. My experience under her tutelage has been nothing short of transformative, not only in my musical abilities but also in my personal confidence and joy in learning.
Suzana is a master of her craft, both as a gifted cellist and as an exceptional educator. Her patience, kindness, and encouraging nature have made all the difference in my learning experience. Despite my late start in attempting to master the cello, Suzana's expertise and supportive teaching style have enabled me to make significant progress. Her lessons are engaging and fun, making each hour spent learning fly by, leaving me eager to practice and improve further.
The cello, with its rich and complex tones, is not an easy instrument to master. However, Suzana's approach to teaching quickly elevated my skill level to where I could play songs that I genuinely enjoy. Her ability to tailor lessons to my aspirations—playing the cello for personal joy and fulfillment—has been exactly what I hoped for in my musical journey.
Suzana also offers invaluable advice on the practical aspects of learning a new instrument. Her recommendations on selecting the right cello and finding music that is both beautiful and suited to my skill level have been instrumental in my progress. Despite our lessons being virtual, she creates a supportive and interactive learning environment. Playing alongside her, even through a screen, has alleviated the fear and awkwardness of performing in front of someone, instilling in me a newfound courage and confidence.
Her competence in teaching both children and adults is evident, showcasing her versatility and passion for spreading the love of music to all. My venture into virtual lessons, despite residing in a large city with numerous options, led me to Suzana, and I consider myself incredibly fortunate for it. Her ability to connect and make lessons engaging through a virtual platform is unparalleled.
For anyone seeking to learn the cello, whether a beginner or someone looking to rekindle their passion for the instrument, Suzana is an exemplary choice. Her dedication, skill, and nurturing approach to teaching have not only helped me grow as a musician but have also enriched my life with the joy of music. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I've been taking cello lessons with Suzana for a little bit now, and the thing that stands out to me about Suzana is that she is always willing to adjust according to where I am at that day. For example, she's very understanding when my day has been stressful and encourages me to get up and stretch if I need it. She is willing to take the pace of learning quickly or slowly depending on my need, and I can hear myself getting better with each lesson. I personally really like to push myself to do well, and Suzana is very happy to support that. I've really valued the lesson time I've had with Suzana, and I'm sure you will too.

Ms. Suzana is AMAZING! She is patient and makes me feel comfortable while learning cello. She makes every lesson run smooth and enjoyable. I’ve learned so much since starting lessons with her. She’s very knowledgeable and talented. If you are starting from absolutely not knowing anything about music or you are somewhat advanced, she is the person to teach you. My husband heard how good I was getting and even started taking piano lessons with her. We both recommend her! She’s just great!

Mrs. Suzana is a fantastic piano and cello instructor. Her warm, accommodating nature instantly made us feel like part of her musical family. Under her guidance, I’ve made significant progress, moving from playing single notes to confidently mastering chords and arpeggios.

We’re incredibly grateful for her expertise and consider ourselves lucky to have her as our teacher. She’s not just an instructor; she’s become an essential part of our musical journey.

Suzana is an incredibly gifted musician and teacher. I have taken from her for over 10 years. My granddaughter started taking at age 4. It is a wonder to watch her with her students young and old. She has a plan that is individualized and specific for each student. I highly recommend Ms Suzana.

I am a mom of 4 children. They rage in age from 5-16 . Each of my children started lessons with Ms. Suzana at very young ages. Her knowledge of music and how to teach each child is very individualized. She has taught them to love music all while enjoying her company. Suzana is dedicated to teaching any and all children who have a love for music and instruments. I highly recommend using Ms. Suzana if you are looking for someone to teach your children to play!

Suzana was recommended to me by our church music minister. I was looking for a teacher that was well versed in theory as well as performance. I have now been taking lessons from Suzana for 3 and 1/2 years. I have learned much and totally enjoy the experience. She is personable and professional, and is an excellent performer (cello, piano AND guitar) and theorist. I recommend her highly to any student at any age or level of expertise.

I would recommend Suzana for her professionalism, knowledge and her love of music. She is a pro at what she does and makes a superb teacher. I took lessons from her myself. She loves people and relates especially to kids. I nightly recommend her!

Over the years I had a great honor to observe Suzana as a teacher and a colleague. Finding the right cello teacher plays a big part in getting young children to learn cello. Suzana has an amazing way of getting students interested and excited about playing cello and practicing. She share her love for music with her students on a daily basis and try to engage them and adapt herself to their individual learning styles.

Suzana's patient and joyful style of teaching motivate them to participate. She manages to keep students attention and make cello classes fun, to the point that they would often practice on their own without being reminded. I am thankful to have her as my friend and colleague, and I hope you will too be able to start and continue your music journey with her for a long time.

Ms. Suzana has a deep technical and practical knowledge of the guitar! She is an empathetic teacher and teaches as per student’s comfort zone so that one can enjoy and create music with each exercise. She is very efficient in planning lessons and testing student’s progress. I know Ms. Suzana since two years now. My daughter started attending her piano lessons since she was 2 year old and she absolutely loves it. I took the opportunity to take guitar lessons from her and I love it equally. She makes each class easy which probably wouldn’t be that easy if it isn’t Ms. Suzana. Her love for music and playing musical instruments is always very evident from the moment she walks into a room for conducting classes. Ms. Suzana is an epitome of patience and I highly recommend her. Additionally I have attended her Cello performances and her talent to play that instrument is outstanding!
