The cello can be enjoyed by amateurs and aficionados alike, and Nathan
Whittaker provides lessons to all age and skill levels, from the young
to the not-so-young, from beginners to advanced, from the casual or
curious to the fiercely serious. A good teacher is one that enforces the basic foundations of technique.
While any teacher can guide a student through vast amounts of
repertoire, only the conscientious teacher prepares the student for all
future endeavors and challenges. Nathan Whittaker's teaching
philosophy consists of an unwavering understanding of technique,
focusing on beauty of sound and elegance of expression. Scales and
technical exercises coalesce with exciting repertoire to promote quick,
yet thorough progress. After all, the cello is an extension of the
soul – it is able to express what is otherwise untranslatable. But
while the fundamentals are the foundation of all future success, beyond
all else making music is, and should be, simply a fun and enjoyable
experience. |
