• Physical Contact Disclosure: In lessons, physical contact is sometimes necessary to pinpoint problems in playing the cello. It is sometimes helpful for me to touch the hand, arm, or back of a student. This is for educational purposes only, such as to help the student feel the proper angle of the arm or remember to sit up straight, and is in no way harmful. I will always ask the student before touching them in a lesson.
