About Christopher
I have played cello for over thirty years, and been an active professional musician in Southern California for over twenty years. I am Assistant Principal Cellist with the Sea Coast Symphony, a position I’ve held for thirteen seasons, and have maintained a steady and active private cello studio for twenty years. Students from my studio have won positions in their local school district honors orchestras and youth orchestras, and have graduated high school to continue their music studies at the collegiate levels at UC Irvine, CSU Long Beach, University of Redlands, MIT, UC San Diego, and Chapman University. I am also certified in Suzuki pedagogy, having been taught by Rick Mooney and Dr. Tanya Carey. I graduated from CSU Long Beach with a BM in Instrumental Music, and studied with Dr. David Garrett of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. I also work as a Teaching Artist with YOLA (Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles), which is based on the El Sistema program based in Venezuela.

My goal with each student, regardless of age or level, is to give them the foundations that will help them achieve the goals they want to achieve while developing a deeper love for the cello. From preparing for college auditions or competitions to performing in front of an audience for the very first time, every student is unique with their own journey on the cello.

Chris McCarthy is an excellent instructor for both young and adult students. He presents music concepts orally, visually (using props), and by demonstration. He uses the Suzuki method so I better understand how to apply necessary cello skills and techniques. Chris listens to my concerns and addresses them with ease. I've also become a better violin player with the skills Chris has taught me. His positive energy makes me want to practice. I am so fortunate to have found Chris McCarthy as my cello teacher.
Chris McCarthy is a talented musician and a fantastic teacher. He brings a lovely blend of discipline and fun to his students, which keeps them engaged and interested, while also fostering the love of the instrument they play. My son’s love of the cello seems to be reinvigorated after each lesson. We drive from south Orange County to Costa Mesa for lessons, and it is absolutely worth it. I have recommended Mr. McCarthy many times over, and will continue to do so. We are so grateful for his guidance.

Details
In person lessons, regardless of lesson length, are conducted at my home studio in Costa Mesa, CA.
Online lessons, regardless of length, are primarily conducted via Zoom and Facetime, but I am flexible with other platforms if required and communicated.
Any new family to my studio, regardless of in person or online, are welcome to have a 30 minute trial lesson with me absolutely free of charge. I liken this to a meet and greet for all parties (parents, student, and teacher) to make sure everyone is comfortable before committing to lessons. Please note, if you are interested in purchasing a pack of lessons the trial lesson does not count toward the total amount of lessons purchased.
If you have any questions about the trial lesson, or just lessons in general, send me a message!
