Introduction
Hello! I am a concert cellist and professor based in New York City. I am on the faculty of the Longy School of Music at Bard College and Montclair State University. I am accepting a limited number of advanced cello students.
I approach my practice and teaching with a positive energy, tuned into issues that need to be addressed and aware of the time needed to building a foundation, but assuring that our process is relevant to the student’s goals. I am always aware of what brings the student to the cello, and make sure that our work will continue feeding that curiosity and love for music.
Available for online lessons, and lessons at my residence.
Below is my teaching experience, and a performance bio. I hope to hear from you!

Christine taught my daughter and I can see that she cares about each student. She is willing to customize her teaching according to each student's needs and work with the student to achieve their specific goals. She is kind, caring, honest, patient, hard working, responds promptly, and very professional too. She has great technical skills and also is a good person to have as a teacher. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great cello teacher.

I was a student of Christine Lamprea for a year and it was an incredibly transformative experience. She approached her performances and private lessons with tremendous energy and dedication, inspiring me week after week to push myself further than I thought I could. Along with solo repertoire and chamber music coachings, the most valuable lessons Christine taught me regarded how to practice and perform more effectively. Even after our time together she's very approachable and supportive, and has even provided me with career-changing networking opportunities. Christine prepared me for my grad school auditions, and, as the acceptance letters start to roll in, I'm ever grateful for it.

I worked with Christine this past summer at a music festival. She was informative, patient, and incredibly helpful in figuring out solutions to some of the technical difficulties I’ve had on the cello. She demonstrated a high-level of professionalism while being friendly and welcoming.
My whole experience with her was a very supportive and positive one. I would highly recommend her as she is talented, professional, and fantastic to work with!
