Online Cello Teacher
Good habits and an excellent attitude make great cellists. It doesn't hurt to love music too. I love music and I love to share my passion with my students.
Having a teacher who is an experienced performer is an important quality in a teacher. I am a professional classical musician currently working as a freelance cellist in the Chicago area. I play with Chicago Philharmonic, the Northbrook Symphony, the Lyric Opera of Chicago, and the Northwest Indiana Symphony, among others. Before coming to Chicago I played for 13 seasons with the Alabama Symphony Orchestra.
I have taught privately for over 10 years including 2 years in Paris. My teaching is a reflection of my teacher, Phillippe Muller. I studied with Msr. Muller while studying at the Paris Conservatory. Msr. Muller is currently a Professor of Cello at the Manhattan School of Music in New York City.
About Wei
Even though I have been teaching and performing on the cello for most of my life, it's not all there is to who I am. I am a chef (almost--12 weeks to go), a mom, a wife. I have a cute little Tibetan Terrier that loves visitors. My husband and I love hiking in beautiful places. Studying with me

- He takes me seriously as an adult beginner, and has helped me progress from almost nothing to substantial repertoire.
- He's a great diagnostician. He can watch and listen and quickly get to the root cause. It's the best when he solves a problem I didn't know I had!
- He's extremely helpful with equipment, as a consequence of previously being with one of the largest violin shops in Chicago. He's helped me with purchases of (in chronological order) my first cheap carbon bow, a college-level cello, and a pernambuco bow. I feel great about my equipment and the buying process, but I would have been flying blind without him.
- I really appreciate that he's flexible with scheduling and the frequency of our lessons.
If you're an adult amateur (or aspiring amateur) like me, you can stop searching for your teacher. I'm confident he would do great work with other types of students, too!"




Victor is very knowledgeable and teaches well."
