Music should be personal and tailored to the student. Take a private lesson and learn how to turn practice into passion—one note at a time.

Hi, I’m Calian, the musician behind the music stand.
As a lifelong cellist and educator, I’ve learned that learning an instrument doesn’t have to be rigid or intimidating. Join me for a private lesson, and see for yourself that music can be accessible, joyful, and deeply personal—no matter where you’re starting from.

Sheet Music Accessibility Package
This service is all about customization and clarity. You’ll begin with a 30-minute virtual consult where Calian will ask questions to understand the specific accessibility need—whether it's visual, cognitive, or both. After reviewing the request, she’ll follow up with a second consult to present tailored sample formats, walk through the differences, and collaboratively determine what works best for the student.
