Evangeline Benedetti, Cellist & Teacher

​

Picture
Welcome! Thank you for stopping by. 

​I am delighted to share with you my lifetime experience of delving into music, cello, mind-body work, all directed at making music on the cello. I call it the Cello, Bow and You Approach.

​My career led me to spending  44 years as a cellist in the New York Philharmonic, an unparalleled education in music itself. Playing the repertoire with outstanding conductors and soloists and surrounded by great colleagues is unbeatable.​

The Cello, Bow, and You Approach to cello playing is greatly influenced by my training and certification as a teacher of the Alexander Technique, additional private study with a biomechanical engineer, and personal experience in other mind-body practices. 

​I am continually fascinated with how we move and how we learn. However, behind every endeavor my query is, “How will this make me a better cellist so that I can communicate through music and help others with similar goals?"

The approach I take in my teaching is to guide you to become your own teacher. 

If you understand how the
​ cello and the bow work, you will find a way to let the cello and bow teach you.
​

And if you know how your body works and how your mind is always present in the process, you will play the cello more easily and have a continual means of teaching yourself.
