Private cello lessons

In addition to ACC, Mrs. Montoya also teaches at Westlake High School, Hill Country Middle School, Westridge Middle School, and Greater Austin Music Academy. She is trained in the Suzuki method under Dr. Tanya L. Carey.

Students in private lessons work to excel in Region music, college auditions, orchestra music, and they fine-tune their technical skills and posture while progressing in solos across the Suzuki repertoire.
