I have been playing string instruments for over 33 years and teach out of my string Professors book which not all teachers have that unique experience.

My students in the past have described me as fun and inspiring. I always do my best to ensure that my students are being challenged to their highest potential. I inspire confidence in students and my love of music is contagious! My focus is always the student and I will go the extra mile to ensure that young aspiring musicians reach their dreams. Whether you are yearning for the most advanced violin techniques or are just learning to play Twinkle, I can help you reach your goal.

I am an emotive cellist with two decades experience. As a member of the Park Quartet (the quartet in residence at Park Church) I recently performed at the 100th anniversary of McGolrick Park. I love sharing classical music with all levels of students. Lessons with me are calm, meditative experiences where we use Zen techniques to enter into the heart of music.

I am a student beginning a Master of Music degree at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, where I also completed a Bachelor of Music. I am open to teaching all levels and students with different goals in mind. I strongly believe everyone can learn an instrument, no matter what age or desire for learning.

9th year playing cello, Tacoma School of the Arts graduate with major in instrumental music. Taught by professional strings expert. Played in multiple chambers strings and ensembles. I enjoy starting with beginners to teach proper foundational skills such as notes in bass clef and bow hold.

I have served as the Graduate Teaching Assistant to Tom Landschoot at Arizona State for two years, teaching undergraduate cellists.
In addition, I have over ten years of teaching experience, including my own studio in Iowa and Arizona, leading sectionals for Phoenix Youth Symphony, and faculty positions at Cellobration and Tucson Cello Congress.
As a performer, I am a tenured member of Arizona Opera and regularly play with The Phoenix Symphony.

I'm a versatile and experienced cellist providing private lessons for both children and adults. Since 2003, I've maintained a studio of private students in New York, Connecticut, and Boston, and I've recently relocated to Los Angeles. I like making music fun and accessible while maintaining structure and clarity. My organized, friendly approach helps my students progress rapidly and with ease. In addition to working with children and adult amateurs, I also work with advanced students who are interested in exploring the baroque style and historical performance practice. I believe by fostering solid technique and building problem-solving strategies, the ability to express oneself through music becomes effortless and enjoyable.

I've taught in both public and private schools, and I'm active on YouTube and social media @emilyplayscello.
