What I Offer

Results That Last

Every year, the high schools and middle schools of Fairfax County hold auditions for VBODA Senior District Orchestra and VBODA Junior District Orchestra. Getting into district orchestra is a huge achievement, as the program is very selective and the ratio of students that audition to the students that are admitted is very low. However, I manage to get 3-4 of my students admitted into the district orchestras each year. Some of my most talented students have gone so far as to become principal cellists in their middle/high school orchestras and a few have even gotten to perform on the prestigious Strathmore Music Hall in 2008 as part of a Philharmonic Orchestra Charity Event which raised more than $70,000 dollars to help underprivileged children around the world receive an education.

​

I offer comprehensive and affordable private lessons in McLean, VA. My job is a passion for me, and it brings me joy to be able to share this passion with my students. From day one, they learn important techniques to help them boost their skills and self-esteem. Each student has a unique learning style, and it’s my duty to find out what that is and adapt my lessons accordingly. Contact me today to learn how I can help you achieve your goals.

"Yue has been a great teacher for my son. His cello playing and musicianship skills have improved very much since studying with Ms. Gerrard."

-Becky Fulton (Parent of Student Nate Fulton)

"My son has been with Ms. Gerrard for three plus years. I asked him, what makes Ms. Gerrard different. He said it is the way she treats her classes seriously. I asked myself. It’s the PASSION that sparkles. Ms. Gerrard holds high standards for herself and her students. But at the same time, she understands that everyone grows with their own special rhythms. She always leaves the right space for each student to realize his or her full potential. Recommend 120%!!!

-Jane Wu (Parent of Student Eric Wu)

"Ms. Gerrard has the highest expectations for her students and she cares deeply for their success. My daughter learned more in her first year with Ms. Gerrard than she had in the previous 4 years with another teacher. We highly recommend her."

-Anne Taranto
