Cello Lessons Illinois

Instruments: Cello

The material I use for my students is partially chosen by myself to keep the student in line with appropriate repertoire for their skill level. In addition to the material I choose, students are encouraged to bring in their own musical interests to work through as well. After all, no one wants to learn an instrument if they cant learn their favorite songs! Im very open to all learning styles and encourage communication between student teacher, and parent to come up with the best program possible. Read More

My methods are mainly focused on the Suzuki books. I can thouroughly demonstrate each song in Suzuki book 1 to 10 and I lead the student from the beginning to the end of the coarse if the student is willing to commit to it. If not then I will lead the student to new materials outside of the Suzuki books that can be fun. I specialize in film tunes transposed for cello such as Harry Potter, Star Wars, Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean etc. however for those who prefer the traditional classical road, I may teach specific Baroques dances from the Solo Suites by Johan Sebastian Bach, Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven.

Students are really the cornerstone of my teaching style. Many teachers use a "one size fits all" methodology to their students. By tailoring my teaching to my students specific talents, they will be very eager to learn! Students all have different learning styles, and different concepts they struggle with. I use students' learning styles to develop the skills to learn concepts. Learning each and individual technique does indeed work. However, teaching a student how to learn concepts allows for greater understanding, and it allows them to take ownership of their own playing. Read More
