About Joseph
Teaching has always been my passion; music is how I share that love with the world.
I received my undergraduate degree in Cello from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA, studying with Leslie Frittelli; and master's degree in Violoncello from the oldest conservatory in the world, il Conservatorio di San Pietro a Majella, Napoli, Italy, studying with Luca Signorini, principal cellist of Teatro San Carlo.
I have helped students prepare for orchestra auditions, performances, and college auditions including James Madison University, West Virginia University, and George Mason University, leading them to $20,000 in scholarships per year.

In lessons we focus first on the techniques of playing in tune and in time to train your ear and coordination skills, so that accuracy and precision become second nature for you. You will also learn how to create a high quality sound, use a variety of bow techniques, and move across the instrument with ease.
Each lesson will build upon these skills to make your at-home practice successful and repeatable, new and fresh, and help you rapidly grow with less frustration.

Perfect! Joseph is an excellent instructor, he knows the nuances of bowing and stylistic technique like a true professional and explains everything so it's easy to understand. Would highly recommend.
Perfect! Joseph was excellent. He’s very easy to work with and very patient. He is kind with corrections, and also quick to praise something done right.
Perfect! I started playing the cello as an adult with absolutely no experience, and Joseph has been teaching me from the ground up with patience and encouragement. He truly has a deep knowledge and passion for the cello that makes every lesson inspiring. I look forward to our future lessons!
Perfect! Joseph is an outstanding teacher. I am adult learner who wanted to get back to the cello after about 5 years without playing. Joseph helped me improve from the first lesson. Even taking lessons remotely, he makes a strong personal connection. He has assigned an interesting mix of music including technical exercises, scales, etudes and regular pieces of music which keeps things varied and interesting. He quickly was able to assess my abilities and needs; I feel that he has a very personal approach to understanding his students. I highly recommend Joseph for a student, regardless of age or level.
Perfect! I am on my second lesson and already playing little songs. I was unsure how virtual lessons would be, but he makes them fun and challenging. I am an adult learner and he uses the perfect amount of simple and adult learning techniques. Very highly recommend
Perfect! Funny, excellent ! Patient . 50/10 def recommend . Rather you’ve played and instrument before or haven’t he will work with you and have you playing in no time ! It’ll be a crime if don’t choose him as your instructor !
- Olivia is a fantastic student! Highly motivated and wanting to have extra time together to build a solid foundation fast, she comes with a great ear for music and focuses on the technique of cello to create the sound she wants to hearJoseph's response :
Perfect! I cannot say enough good things about Joseph. He recently started working with my son, and the difference in my son's playing and enthusiasm for the cello has been incredible. Joseph is incredibly patient, always on time, and professional. His expertise in cello playing and teaching is evident in every lesson. He has a wonderful rapport with kids, making each lesson enjoyable and productive. We feel very fortunate to have found such a dedicated and skilled instructor. Highly recommend!
- Leo is a bright student who is looking to advance his skills on cello. Having played Bass before he comes with some knowledge or rhythm and intonation and eagerly learns to build upon those skills. Looking forward to the next lesson!Joseph's response :
Perfect! Josef is an EXCELLENT INSTRUCTOR. He pays attention to every little nuance of pitch, hand position, muscle memory. I have had several cello instructors none have been on zoom like the one I just had with Josef. But by FAR he taught me new ways to look at things and break things down to help me understand. I learned more in this lesson than many others I've had in the past with other instructors. My cello has layed dormant for many years .. Josef lit the fire under my cello and my desire to learn once again. I am 73 years old and have goals that Josef will help me reach... Do yourself and your cello a favor... I suggest you choose Josef Salzberg as your next instructor... he is phenomenal!
I plan on studying with him as long as my cello speaks. Good luck to you all!- Attentive, willing to try new things, and not afraid of making mistakes, Cheryl is great at having her weaknesses to turn them into strengths! Looking forward to our next lesson togetherJoseph's response :
Perfect! Excellent teacher, he works around my schedule which is very important to me since I am a working adult. He is detailed and he always made sure that you're not too overwhelmed with the practice material.
Perfect! Grateful to have worked with Joseph. He was very helpful, accommodating, and knowledgeable. While taking lessons from Joseph, my daughter was able to easily follow along and get a better understanding of the sheet music she had been working on.
Perfect! My son had his first session with Joseph this evening. Excellent lesson!! Joseph is an experienced teacher. He came to the lesson prepared with music we provided him ahead of the lesson. He is deliberate, objective and targets specific areas for practice/improvement. It’s easy to tell how much my son was inspired, as he is still practicing!
- Chris is an attentive and engaged student who was willing to give a try to everything I asked of him, from tiny details with intonation and rhythm to overall tone and timbre. And while he wants things to be better, he isn't afraid to make a mistake and quickly learns how to correct an error!Joseph's response :
Perfect! Choosing a cello teacher can be a pivotal decision in one's musical journey, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a gem in mine. Not only is he deeply knowledgeable and a true maestro of the cello, but his ability to translate that expertise into actionable guidance is unparalleled. Despite my year of prior experience, it was under his tutelage that I made a significant leap in my skills – saying goodbye to the finger board sticker in just two sessions. He possesses a rare blend of patience, insight, and passion that transforms each lesson into a transformative experience. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone serious about mastering the cello."
- Atoosa is very attentive and willing to try new skills until she has a thorough understanding of them. The time flew by, we were having so much fun!Joseph's response :

Our child was interested in entering a preferred performance program available in our school system. Joe Salzberg was recommended as a tutor. We were fortunate that Joe said he would work with our student. Our student's ability improved and confidence grew. Joe was wise with selecting the pieces to best showcase our student's abilities. Goal achieved! Joe is also a terrific human being. Very caring of our full family as we supported our child's musical dream.
Joe provided cello lessons to my daughter for 5 years. Steadfast, dependable, a wonderful person, and an excellent teacher. My daughter's cello skills were recognized by her Orchestra teacher at school. Recommended!
Joe is an exceptional teacher. I was continually amazed at how well prepared Joe was for each lesson. He had obviously given a lot of thought into how to fully engage our son in his lesson with a great combination of affirming encouragement and just the right amount of challenge. Joe has a wonderfully positive demeanor which builds confidence and inspires the student to want to improve.
Joseph is excellent teacher. He guided my daughter through middle school orchestra and prepared her for her audition to Colgan High School’s performing arts program. He set a good musical foundation for her to be selected for the regional orchestra for multiple years. I would highly recommend him as a teacher.
Words can not describe how wonderful a cello instructor Joseph is! I searched around for a few months before finding him, and I learned more from him in 3 classes than I did with months of other instructors. I had no prior knowledge of the instrument before hand, and was already intimidated by the thought of starting. In just a few lessons, I felt more confident in, and it has only been uphill from that day on! He makes learning fun and easy for beginners and can add something new to seasoned players as well. Do your skills a favor by learning with him!
Joseph is an amazing tutor. Great communication and patience along with humor to break the ice. Tremendously professional and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Joseph is an amazing teacher and a wonderful person. Thanks to his experience and talent as a musician, he’s able to teach any kind of student at any level with kindness, support, and patience. Highly recommended!
