Welcome to the Play More Cello Music Studio website.  Diane is a professional music instructor providing private cello lessons to children and adults in her El Dorado Hills studio.

Diane brings over 40 years of experience and teaches a full range of cello technique through the use of etudes, scales, technique, sight reading and ear training.

Students are organized into duet, trio and quartet ensembles of varying levels to increase their musicianship and multiply the fun of playing cello.

Weekly lessons cost $100 per month (for 30-minute sessions) or $140 per month (for 45-minute lessons).  Fees include chamber music group coaching and an annual recital for family and friends

“In the course of 2 months Diane has patiently helped me go from a floundering and frustrated beginner to a focused student. The joy this has brought me as a 35 year old beginner is priceless.”

- John Sellers (student)

“Learning a new instrument can be a daunting and frustrating endeavor for both young and mature beginners alike. The guided focus that private instruction offers can vastly help to bring the world of the cello to an attainable and enjoyable level. All students are taught with patience and respect for their individual skill level and personal goals.”
