About Johnny M.

I strive to treat each student equally no matter how advance the student are. My job as a teacher is to provide students a tool in life. Students will learn the way life works through the art of music. Should the students decide to pursue music or not in the future, I only hope that students will apply what they've learned in music to their everyday problem solving.

1. Full of Content: He delivers enough details of a new technique with simplification for an easy understanding.
2. Learning Curve: By breaking down and reorganizing the knowledge, he teaches new concepts step by step, from approachable actions to efficient actions.
3. Customization: He helps you find out a suitable solution to grow on the techniques based on your own physical and cognitive characteristics.
4. Experimentation: The correct ways he suggests you do is demonstrated by experimenting with different ways for comparison, which you would not only know what to do but know the reason behind it.
Cello is a beautiful yet complicated instrument. To enjoy it, a great mentorship is necessary and truly valued.

About Alex M.

I have been teaching private lessons since 2008. I have performed on movie soundtracks and was a guest soloist with Hamline University Orchestra. I am certified in Suzuki Method and also teach traditional lessons. I've worked with students age 4 to adult.
You are never too old to begin! I've worked with beginners of all ages.
Playing is about so much more than just classical music and scales! Although we love scales. Scales are how we show off how fast we can play. In addition to solid fundamentals of technique and musicality, I teach a broad range of styles including folk/fiddle, pop, and movie and video game scores. You'll get to learn the music that YOU want to play!

About Karl R.

As someone who has four degrees in cello performance and has taught for more than fifteen years, I know the value of having a good teacher. My mission: become obsolete! Most of your cello playing will be on your own, so I aim to equip you with the confidence and know-how to become an effective practicer and player. This takes time and dedication, but it's enormously fun and rewarding. I love to teach all ages, abilities, and ambitions, customizing my approach to best serve YOU. I perform professionally as a soloist, chamber musician, and orchestral cellist, playing all sorts of styles and genres. Begin or continue your cello journey today!
