More Information:
Since childhood, Cleo has always engaged with music. Whether she liked to or not! She began her current journey with cello in high school where she studied with Donna Dennison of New London, NH who taught her how to play just for herself, embrace challenge, and surrender to the music. She went on to study music at the University of Vermont where she had the privilege of studying with Suzanne Polk of Boston, MA and chamber coach Evelyn Reed, Burlington, VT.
Alongside teaching, Cleo has performed for local musical productions associated with Lyric Theatre, Vermont Stage, UVM Theater, Burlington Civic Orchestra and currently plays with the folk-soul trio Honey&Soul.
As a teacher, Cleo hopes to pass on the gifts of her previous teachers to instill in her students a sense of ownership of their craft and softness to embrace the quirkiness of learning a musical instrument.
