Welcome to The Worship Cellist—a channel helping cellists break free from traditional boundaries and thrive in modern musical settings like contemporary worship teams, rock bands, and other non-classical environments. Whether you want to refine your technique, master chord-chart reading, develop improvisation skills, explore electric setups, or step into the recording studio, you’ll find practical tools to elevate your playing.

While the focus is worship contexts, these videos are valuable for cellists in any style. My approach is shaped by my academic work as a cello professor—examining assumptions in traditional pedagogy—by years of playing regularly on worship teams, and by my experience as a studio/session cellist. Together, these perspectives inform a fresh, modern approach to cello pedagogy.

Most importantly, this is a community. Ask questions and request topics as we push the boundaries of the cello together.
