Christine Lamprea, Cello Teacher

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!
