“Francisco helped me immensely with my preparation for college auditions. Moreover he was a huge help during school breaks when I had chair audition excerpts to work on. I was extremely inexperienced and francisco did everything in his power to get me up to where I needed to be. I appreciated his gentle teaching style and his unique metaphors in his lessons. His optimistic attitude also made lessons something to look forward to! I highly recommend him as a teacher for private lessons to anyone looking to learn the cello.”

"As an adult beginner, I was hoping to find an instructor who's interactive, encouraging and willing to help me grow. I've been so happy with Francisco. He's patient, encouraging and does a great job explaining things in a different perspective. I look forward to every lesson!"

“Francisco is an amazing teacher! He is enthusiastic and always finds something encouraging to say. He has an impressive ability to make difficult things look easy. I wasn't sure about the online format, but Francisco makes it seem like you're right there in the studio. As an adult returning to playing after many years I especially appreciate his patience and positive attitude. I always look forward to my lesson and leave feeling inspired for the next challenge.”
