Teaching Philosophy
The power of music is undeniable. To be able to learn to become a craftsman of it is a lifelong gift that will enrich the individual and everyone around them.
It is my goal to have the individual experience the joyful adventure of music making to their fullest.
POSTURE
The first two, three years of learning how to play are the most fundamentally important for a cellist. This time segment is when the player learns to handle the instrument as an extension of his or her own body.
training/a good practice routine
Whatever your goals might be, a reliable practice routine must be the core part of becoming an able musician. We will develop a training regiment customized to your goals.
the art of performance
Students will practice the art of performance which must be honed outside the practice room.
Playing with others
A large portion of music making is learning to play with other artists through cultivating ones listening for a collective sound, acquiring the technique for playing with different instruments, and experiencing the enthralling spontaneity involved in musical banter between oneself and others.
