Younger/beginner students will interact with Hal Leonard's Essential Elements and some basic Suzuki training. Intermediate to advanced players will be assigned repertory that is a balance of healthy and challenging based on their strengths and weaknesses. All levels of students will interact with Jensen/Chung's CelloMind, scales, and other fundamental technical exercises. Depending on the context, all students will interact with music theory concepts and music history. Some light physics will also be integrated (don't be scared of it!). Read More
Ryan D
Instruments: Piano, Cello
I help students have an efficient position in order to play in tune and feel relaxed. I also focus on intonation, rhythm, and musical interpretation. In order to teach interpretation I show different ways to phrase the music with dynamics, tempo, bow stroke, and tone. For beginners, I focus on tone quality because most beginners do not know how to correctly use the bow to make a warm sound. For more advanced players, I would focus on more phrasing techniques in order to create a more original interpretation of certain pieces. Read More
Emily A
Instruments: Piano, Violin, Cello
I am a patient instructor who teaches using a mix of music theory, lesson books, and other songs the student wants to play. My goal is for every student to find their love of music and want to keep progressing. While I love performing, I've found teaching to be one of my passions. The moment when a difficult concept clicks in a student's head is just as rewarding as performing on stage. Read More
Chris B
Instruments: Guitar, Cello, Bass Guitar
I started teaching myself guitar when I was 10. Later, in high-school, my teacher frustrated with my lack of practicing came up with an idea to light a fire under me. They suggested I teach a younger classmate. Not only did I finally start practicing, but I fell in love with teaching as well. Thanks to that, I have played over 1,000 shows, both solo and as an auxiliary musician for other touring acts. Read More
