Adding a double approach to your study will move you ahead much faster than just working one piece of music over and over. When you practice the classical skills and then you also work on the tools for improvisation in your playing you will start to find a freedom that you never believed possible.

Wondering how to make cello playing fun again?
When you get out of classical perfectionism and you start to play some other genres of music regularly, you will realize that you already have a musical voice and you will be intrigued with finding it.
Hi. I'm Marcie Brown and I'm the Cello Guru.
I help adult cellists to find their own unique voice so they can play with joy, confidence and ease.
What Did I learn from Working with the following Artists?
Luciano Pavarotti, Itzak Perlman, Jaco Pastorius, Ray Charles, Andrea Bocelli, Cirque du Soleil...
I learned that in order to be a thriving musician, you need to live in breakthrough. To follow the unbeaten path. To jump on opportunities that light you up. To find the things in life that make you feel good and cherish them. To find your own unique voice, and to develop it every day.Cello Guru studies include classical perfectionism and also cello adventurer studies. So you will find expertise and mastery through classical music and improvisational studies as well. This is the Cello Guru Method. When you find your own true voice, you will become a smarter and happier musician. Every time.
Total Cello Immersion is my 6 Month cello Program
Aspiring Adult Cellists will find their voice here.
In the Total Cello Immersion Program, you will find a supportive community of like minded peers. You will get expert cello instruction and learn the skill of performing through weekly studio class participation. In the online video courses, you will be working through instructional videos of both classical Suzuki pieces and pop and jazz improvisation repertoire. Our psychological Cello Guru Concept videos will help you to move through constant musical growth with daily inspiration, expertise and confidence. By the end of the 6 month program, you will be a happier, healthier cellist who understands the value of your own personal cello playing and exactly what steps to take to stay in musical transformation.
