Hi! I’m Dr. Nora Willauer.

Thank you so much for being here. I’m a classically trained cellist with a Doctorate of Musical Arts degree from the Cleveland Institute of Music.

Whether you are a beginning musician, a professional, or a musician-in-hibernation, I want to help you create ease and spark joy in your playing and performing.

This website is an invitation for you to learn a bit more about what I do and explore how we can work together to achieve your goals. Let’s connect!
