Erin has a particular interest in working with students who experience behavioral and/or emotional "blocks" to successful playing (for example, performance anxiety). Additionally, Erin's unique background makes her the ideal instructor for students with special learning needs. Erin works with each student to develop an individualized learning plan encompassing the following four curriculum areas: * cello technique * solo and ensemble repertoire * music theory * performance preparation Erin's earliest cello teachers were Suzuki trained and she has applied the Suzuki curriculum successfully with many students. Erin develops individualized curricula for each student, drawing from the Suzuki volumes and recordings, étude and technique books of Kummer, Klengel, Lee and Galamian, and her own supplementary handouts.
