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
