I have studied cello for 17 years, starting in 3rd grade and carrying through my time in higher education. I studied with Natasha Farny at SUNY Fredonia where I earned my bachelor's degree, and Bryan ... Dumm at Cleveland Institute of Music where I received my master's degree. I've worked professionally as a cellist, working with a wide variety of clients internationally. I have experience teaching young cellists in the beginning stages of their musical career, however I can also teach more intermediate level cellists. Whether it's understanding the mechanics and technique of playing the cello, or gaining a deeper understanding of theory and improvisation. My background in composition can add to the breadth of knowledge I can offer to a student.read more

My name is Sean Penzo, I'm currently based in Pittsburgh, PA. Aside from making music, I also enjoy writing, reading, and playing video games. I love tutoring, as I see it as a way to learn not only a... s a student but as a teacher as well. Working with another person, especially someone new to their craft, forces me to think critically about my own work and consider perspectives that I wouldn't have considered otherwise. I believe everyone brings something valuable to art, regardless of their experience level. There is no one right way when it comes to making it. I enter every lesson ready to teach, but also ready to learn. Music is truly for everyone.read more
