Cello Chat with Dr. Benjamin Whitcomb

Cello Chat: an Interview Podcast Series

Dr. Benjamin Whitcomb, Professor of Cello

University of Wisconsin-Whitewater

The basic theme is inspiring young cellists to practice. Here are the questions I tend to ask:
• Introduce yourself; tell about your musical background
• What inspires you for teaching, practicing, and performing?
• Other than leading by example, what are some ways that you try to infuse enthusiasm in your students?
• What effect has your breadth of musical experience had on your approach to performing, or to musicianship?
• Any additional words of advice or inspiration?

Once an episode it broadcast it gets archived at these websites as well:
