Welcome, Students.

I am a professional cellist native to the Pasadena, California area.  I frequently perform with the Los Angeles Opera, Pasadena Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, and Pasadena Pops Orchestras.  I am also an active performer for the soundtracks of major Hollywood motion pictures including “Spider-Man 3”, “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest”, “All the King’s Men”, and “Click”.

This website is a resource for both current and prospective students.  There are valuable online and local vendors that you can find in the Resources section, as well as recommendations on the scale books I use with my students and tools that I use myself.  Los Angeles is an exciting place for muscial growth, so you will also find interesting events to attend by visiting the News section.  Please feel free to explore the site.  There is plenty of great content that will be of interest to any young cellist.

My studio is open to beginning students and experienced cellists through college level.  If you would like to learn more about my credentials and teaching style please take a look at the About Me section or download my brochure by clicking here.

Thank you,
Ryan Sweeney
