Introduction
*PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING ME :) * I offer online lessons and in person. In person lessons : if you are not willing to come to San Francisco for in person lessons, please do not reach out. *First trial lesson discount* I am a GRAMMY® nominated cellist, educator and chamber musician based in San Francisco, CA. Passionate about education, I am an active teacher in the Bay Area and am currently have my own private studio. I have been teaching for the last ten years, and have experience in all sort of levels, from kid to elderly, beginners to advanced cellists. I adapt to each student, we set goals together and work towards them. To teach, I usually use a combination of the Suzuki method and french etudes/ exercises. If you have songs you would love to play, I am also happy to make cello arrangements for my students. More about me : Chloe is currently a section cellist for the Berkeley Symphony Orchestra, and a founding member of Duo Érable, a cello and guitar duo. Duo Érable has a mission of expanding the limits of traditional classical repertoire and reaching communities large and small in the Bay Area. Born in France, her musical career started at the Lyon conservatory with Augustin Lefebvre. Chloé holds a B.M. and an M.M. from the McGill Schulich School of Music in Montreal where she graduated with an “Outstanding Achievement in Cello” under the mentorship of Matt Haimovitz and Brian Manker. During her time at McGill, she was a finalist in the McGill Concerto Competition, principal cellist of the McGill Symphony Orchestra and the recipient of the Mcgill Lloyd Carr-Harris scholarship. Chloé is also the recipient of grants and awards from l’Association Française du Violoncelle, Lions Club International, the Concours du Royaume and a beneficiary of a cello loaned by the organization Talents & Violoncelles and made by luthier Patrick Robin. As a collaborative musician, Chloé had the opportunity to perform with, and be mentored by renowned musicians such as Ralph Kirshbaum, Tessa Lark, Ronald Leonard and Philippe Muller. Chloé is currently pursuing an Artist Certificate in Chamber Music at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, as one of the three Osher Foundation Scholars. Chloe plays on a Frank Ravatin, generously lent by Roger Dubois of CANIMEX Inc.

Chloe is an incredible instructor. She has a gift for making difficult concepts make sense, and makes learning extremely fun at the same time. When I started with Chloe, I knew nothing about cello and music. In less than a year, I’m playing classics at a level I never expected to reach. My cello lesson is the best part of my week. Looking forward to next week’s :). Thank you Chloe!
