About Ava Brighton, Cellist
Hi! My name is Ava, a professional cellist based in Southern California. I’ve taught at the Wasatch School for the Arts in Colorado, run a private studio in NYC, and currently maintain a cello studio in San Diego. Among my professional accolades are solo performances with orchestras in European cities from Budapest to Paris, chamber music festivals in 6 states, premieres of original compositions in Manhattan, recording with Apogee Digital label in Los Angeles, and recitals alongside members of the Colorado and Utah Symphonies. I earned my degree at the Lamont School of Music at the University of Denver, studying with International Soloist Matthew Zalkind, and previously studied under Utah Symphony cellist Pegsoon Whang and pedagogy mentor Alice Yoo. I have experience teaching technical fundamentals, Suzuki Method, the standard cello repertoire, and Alexander technique- the fundamentals of holding the instrument. I believe in fostering a learning environment where students feel empowered to explore their potential through music and pursue projects they feel passionate about. I would love to explore with you! My curriculum covers: Ø Free consultation call and first lesson Ø Sight-reading Ø Ear training Ø Fundamentals/Theory; Method Ø Technical exercise (weekly) or Virtuosic Etude (intermediate through pre-professional) Ø Classical repertoire Ø Genre exploration (Exploring music in all genres from blues, jazz, rock, bluegrass, etc.)
Reviews
She is amazing! As a musician I can tell you the quality of her work is top notch. Simply beautiful and made it the most beautiful night. She goes above and beyond and makes a single cello fill a space line it’s a whole orchestra. Thank you thank you on thank you for a night I will never forget.
Amazing teacher. Incredibly knowledgeable, patient and professional! We have been working with Ava for a few months and truly have noticed remarkable improvement with our daughter’s cello playing. Highly recommend their services and cannot thank her enough for what she has done!!
Phenomenal! I was feeling like cello might be out of my reach (no pun intended) until this lesson but now I am excited again and looking forward to learning cello which has been a life long dream of mine! She was kind, funny, attentive, well skilled and made me feel so comfortable.
