Welcome to Boston Cello Academy! I help students of all ages and levels build a solid foundation and develop mastery on the cello through deepening their understanding of the instrument, our body, and the language of music. I would be thrilled to embark on this musical journey with you, nurturing you into a passionate and dedicated musician for life.

Hi! I’m

About Me
During my years of formal education leading up to a Doctorate in Cello Performance, I learned from world-renown performers and pedagogues. For over 20 years, I’ve helped students along their cello journey and to accomplish what they didn’t think was possible. I have developed ways to help students achieve their goals in less time and effort while keeping the learning process deeply engaging.

What Are Parents & Students Saying?
“My daughter adores Cherry deep down in her heart. She likes the fact that Cherry is picky on technique but is fun and creative and always find analogy to illustrate a point. Cherry also sets high standards to student’s progress and the dosage of strictness is just right enough to drive an individual to progress further. Cherry’s musical jeopardy class is a must look out! My daughter is going through all these optional notes diligently to simply want to do better. We couldn’t be thankful enough to find the right fit for our daughter in making cello learning challenging yet enjoyable!

“Cherry has been teaching our daughter for a couple of years and her dedication and devotion to students have really impressed us. Cherry constantly tries to increase our daughter’s engagement by specifically picking music that our daughter likes. Also, Cherry went above and beyond by arranging for group performances for our daughter to play together with her brothers. We can’t thank Cherry enough for her hard work and personal approach. We feel so lucky to have her as our daughter’s cello teacher.”

“I was Cherry’s student for three years. She is fantastic! As an adult learner, she was super patient but thorough in her trainings. I progressed much more than I was expecting to. She is absolutely excellent, super knowledgeable and generous. She would organize music theory lessons and concerts for students that were very helpful and effective.”Shabnam G.
