Online Lessons on Preply

 Preply


Have you ever taken lessons/classes online? 

Nowadays, the answer is more likely than ever, "Yes". 

Not only can you take Cello lessons from me on this platform, Preply, but you can choose from hundreds of other teachers as well. 

You might want to learn another instrument. Ok, choose piano, guitar, drums. 

It could be that you need some tutoring in a school subject. Cool, do a quick search for a seasoned tutor to guide you to better grades and understanding of the material.

Whatever the subject, whether MUSIC or science or language, etc. you can find teachers for that on

 You Tube Subscribers +4


Thanks for viewing my channel. It has been a long two years of weekly (sometimes daily) uploads. Some people get the gist of social media quite soon in their journey and others search for their path for ages. *Which one do you think I am?

Hey, if you would go visit my channel, Traveling Cello , and like one of my videos I'd appreciate it immensely. There is lots of content. Performances, tutorials, lessons, practice videos, behind the scenes, and even brief looks into my personal life (like a fraction of a blip on the time continuum). 

I love cello music and will continue on this path forever. One of my favorite things to do is what I am doing right now--exploring Forgotten Cello Music. 

Another interest of mine has been traditional music. I've only dabbled in it, but I can say that I have taken lessons as well. You should check out my former teacher (online only), he is incredible. Mike Block, take a look at the Artist Works website where he holds his online Multi-Style Cello Lessons.

Podcasting: Creating a New Project Cello

Creating a Podcast 

The incredible tools that we have at our fingertips today allows us to create studio quality things at home. (Provided we have most of the right equipment.) One of those tools is the access companies like Spotify give us. One of Spotify's offshoots is its Podcasting Platform. There you are free to create and upload as much content as you wish. 

This platform's name is "Anchor.fm" by Spotify.

My own ambition, since I first found out what a podcast was, was to create my own. Now, I can happily say that I have done just that. You can listen to this podcast directly at Anchor.fm or at Spotify, where it is automatically uploaded to once you have done the initial uploading to Anchor. 

My own podcast is called Forgotten Cello Music. I'll write more about this what is behind this title in another post. Suffice it to say, the podcast is entirely about music for the Cello that has largely been forgotten or at least neglected.

Some Cellist/Composers who I have researched and played as a result and are featured in my 36 podcast episodes:

  1. Georg Goltermann
  2. Julius Klengel
  3. Oscar Brückner
  4. Joseph Hollman
  5. August Nölck
  6. Bernhard Romberg
  7. G. Gabrielli
  8. Giacobbe Cervetto
and there are many many more. 

Each episode has background music throughout. Sometimes it features entire movements or pieces and other times only excerpts from compositions of composers talked about on the podcast episode.

It is a dream of my come to reality. The enjoyment level is at a high. However, there are still relatively few people who listen and engage. The next part of my dream is to get thousands of listeners and likes, comments, engagement of some kind from at least a small percentage (1-2% I think would be great).

Cello Lessons Online


Take Cello Lessons Online


Online Cello Lessons

With Aaron Sinnett, from Traveling Cello





There are so many people who have come up to me over the many thousands of performances just to say one pressing matter. "I wish I had learned cello when I was a kid." 


Most continue on with, "I still would like to learn cello. It is one of my favorite instruments!"

You still can learn to play cello. The journey will start when you fill out this Cello Lesson Form I created using Google Forms. 

However, this is also an opportunity for kids, too. Beginners through to advanced. I have taught all levels of students.
