Teaching Testimonials
“Esther Seitz was an excellent teacher to work with, and I would most definitely work with her again. When I attended the Meadowmount School of Music in 2019, I took one lesson with her at the start of the camp to read through a new Bach Suite I was working on. The way she broke down the structure of the prelude, explaining the phrasing in a comprehensive manner while relating it to my technique, left me inspired to practice. From there on, I knew I had to have lessons with her every week!! She is a very positive, constructive teacher and I would recommend her to any cellist I meet!” - Andres A.
“My son recently had the pleasure of studying with Miss Seitz while preparing for All Region/All State auditions. She was very encouraging and patient and used a very methodical approach to learning. She laid out the basic techniques needed to play the selections and gave very organized strategies for personal practice. At the same time, she gave an excellent example of what the end musical product should sound like. This well-organized, methodical approach made the learning experience fun and rewarding. We look forward to working with her again.” - Jenny M.
“Esther Seitz is a dedicated, engaging, and kind teacher. I had the wonderful opportunity of studying with her at Meadowmount School of Music in Summer 2019. Over the course of the summer, Esther gave me weekly, thought-provoking lessons covering everything from melodic phrasing to efficient practice techniques. I'd recommend her to any student looking to improve their playing and enjoy doing it!” - Audrey J.
“Esther is an extremely supportive teacher who helped guide me through so many different aspects of my playing. Her experience with not only teaching but also performing has definitely allowed her to stand out amongst various teachers. Esther is also personally invested in every student – I always walked away with new knowledge from every single lesson.” - Jean Y.
“Esther Seitz took on the impossible--teaching an old dog new tricks. Late in life I decided I wanted to learn to play the cello. After a few disastrous years of trying to teach myself, I found Esther. Esther was patient, yet challenging. Not only did she teach the technique of playing the cello, she also taught how to play with your heart. She was very encouraging. She made me want to practice so I could learn what she was teaching me. If you are 5 or 75, Esther can teach you to play the cello.” - Rachel W.
