Cello Lessons in Key Biscayne. Amazing Teachers.

Introduction to cello and bow technique

I have actively taught cello lessons for the past four years professionally, and currently study cello performance and music theory and the Frost School of Music. I greatly enjoy teaching, and I generally work best with late middle and high school students, and am extremely experienced in audition, competition, and performance preparation.

In the past, I have had students get into highly acclaimed youth orchestras (including Midwest Young Artists Conservatory), compete in chamber music competitions (including Rembrandt Chamber Musicians Annual High School Chamber Music Competition), and win concerto competitions (including the Racine Symphony Young Artists' Competition.

I myself have been reviewed by the South Florida Classical Review for my recent performance with Ensemble Ibis, the review stating, "Kyle Pearl’s burnished cello solo . . . encompassed the work’s passionate moods."

Music is an important part of our lives, and thus I am not a one-style type teacher. I work with everyone at their current level and develop lessons for them based upon their desires. I believe that teaching the classics is just as important to teaching current music and inspiring each of my students to reach beyond their current comfort zone. I stress developing good practice habits and fundamentals, as these make any style of playing more enjoyable.

You will learn correct posture, note reading, tone production, and listening/duet skills. I will guide you through method books.I will accompany you on piano on the material and selections you like.
I have been teaching cello for 4 years. I have my own materials to help you advance in cello literacy. I want to be your next instructor.
