For the past few years, Mr. Sweeney has provided me an environment that’s not only nourishing, but also inspiring. At any moment, he has the motivation to seek for the best in his students and also enjoys watching them excel. He is patient and understanding, and genuinely cares for the improvement of his students. Perhaps one of the most distinguishing aspects of his teaching is that he emphasizes a player’s balance and composure in mental, physical, technical, and musical aspects. Besides lessons, Mr. Sweeney also manages to hold many technique classes and studio classes to improve his students’ playing abilities and also to introduce them to the fine art of developing the poise of a performer. His studio classes, where players can listen to each other and make observations and constructive comments, not only allow players to look towards other fellow students for inspiration, but also prepare his students for real performances and competitions. Throughout the many studio classes I have attended, I have visibly noticed a drastic improvement on my ability to handle stress and nerves before or during performances. I can confidently say that selecting Mr. Sweeney to be my teacher has been the wisest decision my family has made for my cello playing. Thanks to his good will and passion for teaching, he has made my journey as a cellist both memorable and enjoyable."
