PRIVATE LESSONS
Meet with Rachel weekly over Zoom, Skype, FaceTime or at her L.A. home for a one-on-one private cello lesson; 30 and 60-minute lessons are available and can be purchased individually or as a monthly package.
VIDEO SWAP LESSONS
Send a 5–10-minute video of your playing and any questions you may have. Rachel will reply with a custom video consisting of detailed suggestions and demonstrations.
PRE-RECORDED VIDEO LESSONS
Who is this for? This option is great for those who have a busy schedule and cannot commit to a weekly time slot. Pre-recorded lessons are also an excellent resource for a cellist, at ANY LEVEL, who would like access to lessons on any of the standard repertoire at the click of a button.
How does it work? Once you subscribe to the monthly package, you will be redirected to Rachel’s Patreon page. There you will have access to a library of extensive lessons and performances. These videos span from the early basics of playing cello all the way to advanced/professional level repertoire and technique.
