A proper artistic trainin consists of many elements, and most of these elements are consistent with a profound intellectual side.

As a musician, you need to play, but you also need to think and read. My goal is to provide all the possible tools for you to do so. 

An unique approach

What can we learn from art besides the sounds? Literature, paintings, poetry, philosophy. All these elements are not only necessary but they are a huge part of the artistic development.

Professor Starker usually would recommend novels and philosophy books to hs students. The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann was one of his favorites.

"Our life is not so easy. The cello is a heavy instrument. And we need to carry it on our shoulders. This creates a lot of difficulties, specially when we are travelling on a plane or a train. That is why we [cellists] suffer more than a violin player or a flute player. But it is BECAUSE we suffer, that it it beautiful" - Mstislav Rostropovich
