Experienced tutor in Cello in Sarasota, Ellen offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

I needed to make a video for an audition and Ellen was really helpful. She worked with me on my music but she also explained how to play for the microphone. I really couldn't have done it without her help. The video came out great and I've used it a lot!

My daughter studied with Ellen Westermann for several years. She made wonderful progress with Ms. Westermann and always looked forward to her weekly lessons. Their time together seemed to be spirited and full of fun and laughter. The lessons had a clear cut goal and by repetition and instruction there was progress every week. My daughter was saddened when Ms. Westermann moved away, but continues to love the 'cello and it remains very important to her. We would unhesitatingly recommend Ms. Westermann to anyone interested in improving their mastery of the 'cello. We believe her background and teaching ability to be of the highest order.
