My job for any student is to help cater to the student's individual goal while also making learning the cello as painless as possible. When I work with a student, I want the student to achieve the following concepts: 1. Setup. Cellists will have good posture and be able to make cello playing feel easy. 2. Tone. Every sound a cellist plays should come from a good sound. 3. Intonation/Music Reading. Every cellist has the ability to play in tune. In order to do that, they will become fluent in reading music. 4. Musicality. The fun part of music making is when they are able to express music with ideas.

Ruolan X. says, "I usually don’t like to write anything... but here I really want to talk about how a fantastic teacher Calum is! He is really professional — we usually go through a piece together, and however hard I practiced, he always provides many more insightful thoughts about how to get it better. Also he pointed out my tiny bad posture and habits(via zoom, impressively!) so that I will not be bottle-necked by them when I play higher level pieces. I really value his advises because they turn out correct every time. Also, Calum is very patient and willing to help. He offered me a ton of advices about buying cello and cello accessories via email(many tips when trying a cello, many recommendations in my price range that performs surprisingly well). I really appreciate how much extra time he used to help me out those little time consuming problems. I self-taught for 3 months and then learned with Calum for another 3-months. I can feel the HUGE improvement on my sound quality, my posture and my details. I started playing cello just for fun, but now it is more than fun to me! Influenced by his scholar-like attitude on cello, I desperately want to practice and play better. I definitely recommend knowing him. You will be impressed!" Read more

To make the fastest progress, get the most experienced teacher and supplement private lessons with group practices.
