Cello Lessons Madison County, IL

Instruments: Cello

My experience in teaching dates back about 5 years ago. As a foreigner who was invited to study and perform cello in Baltimore since 2010 my perspective on developing students has significantly increased and I have reached a special understanding of what kind of journey a cello student embarks on. Some are embarking on it because of natural talent, others because of an interest in the cello itself, some because they have a voice or inner message that needs to be expressed, and more! Read More

For beginner students, I use the Suzuki method. This is what I learned on and I find it is an incredibly effective method. With the later suzuki books, I begin to incorporate the staples of the cello repertoir. I focus very heavily on scales and excercise. I believe very strongly in forming a strong basis of technique and form before conquering the greats of the repertoir. Once a student has advanced to intermediate and advanced level playing, I focus very highly on musical experession and understanding, as well as teaching the importance of stage presence and performance.

I first began teaching as an undergraduate college student in 2002. One of my childhood piano teachers invited me to teach violin, viola, and cello in her studio of primarily piano students. A short time later, after being hired as an accompanist at a local string studio, I was hired as a string teacher within the studio, where I taught for several years. Over the next fifteen years, my teaching continued in these two settings: studio teaching, as well as private lessons given in my home or the home of my students. Read More

I have been teaching for 4 years, both in Illinois State University, and within Mr. Musicman. With this, I have had ample experience both in large groups, and privately teaching. It has been, hands down, the greatest time of my life teaching students. I really believe that every single student I have, has the potential to thrive and succeed. So, my students actually grow at an accelerated rate. If you can show students that you believe in them, the sky is truly the limit for any student. Read More

I have a strong interest in introducing young students to music and other outlets they might not have known before. I spent 5 years in Southern Illinois University studying music theory and composition, and taught introductory lessons along the way. I have also been writing my own original works and arrangements for over 9 years. I also spent a short while learning piano, guitar, and violin, and I wholeheartedly enjoyed the experience and the skills I picked up from it. Read More
