Welcome to Sam’s Cello Studio, an inclusive space for online cello lessons with cello teacher Sam Araya. I specialize in making cello learning accessible and inclusive. Wherever you are on your cello journey, you are guaranteed to find something to help you on your way.

Lessons suited to your needs as a cellist are available as on-demand video tutorials, personalized video lessons, as well as scheduled live private lessons. I offer child and adult cello lessons at any level. Whether you’re looking for an online cello tutor to advance your skills or want to start beginning cello lessons online, I can help you.

Method books designed for cellists with a broad spectrum of learning needs are available for both cello learners and private teachers. I have studied many different methods and these books are the result of years of studying, composing, teaching, and editing.

Resources for cello learners and teachers alike feature equipment recommendations, a graded list of sheet music for cello by underrepresented composers, and sheet music published by Sam’s Cello Studio.

Studio projects are a chance for studio members to share their art through composition, recording, and performance. In addition, check out the studio’s YouTube channel for weekly “Name that tune” shorts and virtual recitals.
