Julia J Cello Studio

• Cellist/Instrumental Music Teacher

  • 2008 - Present

  Self-employed as a freelance cellist and music teacher since 2008. Performance gigs include classical music (solo, chamber, and orchestral events), corporate functions, private functions, contemporary gigs (folk, rock, alternative, jazz), and community outreach and education. I have maintained a private teaching studio for over ten years, working with a wide range of ability levels (beginner to emerging professionals) and ages (from age 5 to age 60). I believe in an inclusive and welcoming environment for all students regardless of ambitions, professional aspirations, physical or mental ability, and musical interests. A significant component of my private music practice is the arranging, orchestration, and typesetting of sheet music. I am highly proficient in music typesetting software such as Sibelius and Dorico, and am regularly commissioned for arranging work. Show less
