Master of Music in Cello Performance
Take on a relaxed yet solid technique, smart musicianship, top phrasing: discover your best playing!
Hello Cello Lovers, far and wide! My name is Philip, and as an American living abroad, I've mastered the art of teaching online. You may find me performing all over Youtube, Spotify, and Apple Music - there you'll hear why I've been in demand as an expert performer and teacher. Please have a glance at these FAQs:
Q: What is your teaching style? A: My highest goal for you is that you enjoy your cello journey for as long as humanly possible. To this end, I'll cover all the essentials to move you ahead in your technique to the most enjoyable music. We'll work together on repertoire you want to play. I'll also suggest repertoire I think will be good for your playing. Be yourself and we'll get along great!
Q: You teach online - how can you help my tone? A: I've taught online for so long that I will help you develop a beautiful, singing tone in whatever style of music you choose.
Q: I would like a powerful yet unforced technique - is that really possible? A: Yes. You've come to the right person! A physically pleasing experience while playing cello is essential to your enjoyment of the instrument. I developed and have given my own workshops in relaxed playing on four continents.
Q: What is the real difference between playing in the baroque, classical, romantic, and contemporary styles? A: My success is from having mastered all of these styles, working with experts over the decades, and performing literally in hundreds of solo and chamber music pieces.
