About
Greetings fellow musicians and new friends!

My name is Ceci, and I am a violin teacher born and raised in Oakland. I hold a Masters in Violin Performance from the Chicago College of Performing Arts, and have been teaching and performing locally for many years. Please note that I do not offer in-home lessons, but instead teach out of my private studio in East Oakland.

I strongly believe that music is an excellent tool for individuals to express themselves and find fulfillment during these challenging times. Having worked with a wide range of students from varying backgrounds and age groups, I fully understand that everyone learns differently. Therefore, I always create a unique curriculum that will best suit the individual's needs, allowing them to enhance their creativity, develop discipline, and better understand the world through music.

Currently, I am offering both in-person and virtual lessons to students of all ages and levels. I have been fully vaccinated for your peace of mind. Whether you are a beginner looking to start from scratch or an intermediate/advanced violinist seeking to hone your skills, I encourage you to reach out to me via email or phone at your convenience. I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

I look forward to connecting with you soon!

It's with great disappointment that my daughter and I express our feelings as we were unable to continue lessons with Ceci, despite the fact that we realized how amazing of an instructor she is after just one session. The distance was a major hindrance for us, and we wish we could continue working with Ceci who brought so much energy and fun to my seven-year-old daughter's lesson.

Ceci's dedication to her students is simply outstanding! Her passion and commitment are truly commendable. She takes the time to understand each student and tailors specific lesson plans according to their needs. Her breakdown of concepts is precise and easy to follow. If you are looking to help your child build discipline in music or violin, I highly recommend Ceci. Thank you for your exceptional work!

My son is a pre-teen and a beginner of the violin, so he can often feel self-conscious. However, working with Ceci has been a pleasure for him. With her incredible patience, my son's confidence has already improved in just a month. If you're a new student, I highly recommend booking a class with her.

Ms. Ceci is highly proficient in enhancing intonation and technique. She is always an excellent conversationalist, keen on discussing life events at the commencement and culmination of each lesson. :D

My 10-year-old niece thoroughly enjoys her violin lessons with Ceci, who is a skilled and patient teacher. Surprisingly, my niece prefers Ceci's lessons over even her own mother's, who also plays the violin.
