After a fantastic summer chamber music program, with groups at all levels performing music by Mozart, Schubert, Tchaikovsky, and more, Myanna and I are currently figuring our fall schedules. Current students who have been away should be in touch as soon as possible, as the schedules are nearly set. Prospective students are welcome to inquire about availability, however current students do get priority with scheduling. 

Looking forward to a great fall of cello teaching!

Area students are invited to sign up for Summer Chamber Music at the end of June. We've had some wonderful chamber music sessions in the past years and Myanna and I are looking forward to some great music camaraderie and playing this year!

Congratulations to Matthew, Randy, and Natalya for their great work at PMEA All-State Orchestra! Myanna and I are so very proud of them!

Looking at my long-awaited copy of the piano accompaniment to Phyllis Rowe's wonderful book "Warm-Up & Play" that I got from the Library of Congress. Published in 1974 by Belwin, it is no longer in print, and what a shame! It is a simple book, free of clutter and pretense. On each left-hand page, there are exercises specific to the song on the right-hand page. And the songs; what beautiful songs: a number of Russian pieces (Prokofiev, Rebikov, Shostakovich), and supremely playable.
