About Christopher
Greetings. My name is Christopher Brown, a private cello instructor based in Santa Ana, CA. I graduated from Los Angeles County High School for the Arts (LACHSA) in 2010, recieved my Bachelor's Degree in Cello Performance and Music Composition from Baldwin-Wallace University in 2015, and my Master's Degree in Cello Performance from Cal State Long Beach's Bob Cole Conservatory of Music in 2015. I've taught cello lessons since 2014.
I provide my cello students with a firm foundation in technique and classical repertoire, while also encouraging them to explore music they enjoy beyond the typical fare performed on the cello. I have experience performing in a variety of styles, such as rock, folk, hip-hop, and beyond. Above all, I believe music is an avenue for individual expression, and always view my students as individuals with a story to tell.
I began teaching when I started string pedagogy training in undergrad.

I familiarize the new student with the fundamentals of the instrument (bow hold, left hand notes, posture), as well as rudimentary musicianship (reading music, rhythm). We then proceed together through simple exercises and repertoire, going at a pace the student is comfortable with, and never moving on until the previous work has been mastered.
I've worked with students of all ages and walks of life, from very young children to senior citizens. Many come to me with no experience on the instrument but others come with varying degrees of advancement.
I'd always advise going with a teacher who not only undertands your needs and goals with the cello but also challenges you adequately.
I recently arranged an anime score for a student who really wanted to play it. The excitement on her face was extremely rewarding.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Honestly, students should feel free and open to discuss their needs with their teachers unabashedly.
