Heads up!
Things have been quiet here, but behind the scenes, I’ve been working furiously. The remainder of 2024 is set to be a busy time. I’m slowly populating the calendar here: Top of the list is submitting a proposal for…

Cellomas Mania and Teaching Tour Fandango!
Aah yes, yet another ghastly poster frame, courtesy of Blogger. Sigh.
Pie eater.
Sorry folks, I was so overworked at Hopkins this week that I ate your deathbed pie charts, mistaking them for actual pies. They were pretty tasty! (especially Wendy’s because she and I really like food, so it made up a significant…
Back to LA, for now
Today is my last day in Atlanta. It was strange to watch the Oscars more than a few miles from the Kodak Theatre, but that’s something I’ll have to get used to if I am planning on making the move…
Off to Atlanta in the morning
Top 10 things I like about DC/Baltimore area, in no particular order: 4. (Well, I told you it was in no particular order) The Potomac River. 6. Old, old trees. They lie in thickets on the roadside, still buried in…
Postcard from Maryland
I’ve been too busy to take many pictures, but I think I will have the time to change that today. So far, I’ve had a lesson with Gottagopractice, two (fantastic, compelling, inspiring) interviews at JHU, and dinner at a Turkish…
Updated Tour Information!
Friends, Romans, Cello-y people: now that I have specific dates and times for the DC and Atlanta events, some changes were appropriate. Ideally, I’d have DC registration done by the end of this week so I have some idea whether…
Tour details!
In case you’re not on the epic GoogleWave I’ve created to coordinate the tour and are interested in taking a lesson in either DC/Baltimore or Atlanta, here is the sign up sheet. DC dates are March 1-5, Atlanta is March…
East Coast Tour!
Things are starting to take shape, so I would like to officially announce my East coast teaching tour! If you’re in the DC area, PA, the Carolinas or Atlanta, hit me up at tour(at)emilywright(dot)net. If you haven’t participated in an…
Planning ahead
I’m going to try this with a slightly more cogent approach this time. AAAAAAAA!! Another teaching tour! I’m thinking March: South Carolina to DC/Baltimore to PA to Manhattan. The plan is to have two teaching days in each city: one…
the forecast
Early July calls for mostly sunny skies, some fireworks, with a chance of Emily coming up the 15, 70 and 35 through CO, NE, IA and MN! Everything is tentative, but it looks like I will be once again making…
Dallas to Atlanta, or how PMS saved my life.
On the last leg of my drive from TX to GA, I encountered a tornado-laden lightningfest of a storm that had me alternately tailgating the semi in front of me to keep track of where I was, crying, and generally…
Arlington, part 2
What a day. Hot, windy, and full of cello stuff. Oh, and a train that slowly went back and forth in front of me for about 10 minutes. First off, I went to the Waffle House and had, well, a…
Arlington, part 1
Austin
Once again, JetBlue comes through in the clutch. Not only were they friendly and helpful, but they thought it would be safer to just take the flight case off and seat my cello next to me in the cabin. The…
road tunes
Hey there! In preparation for my teaching tour of road tripping cello-y goodness, I am in need of some fresh tunes for the ol’ iPod. So please, pretty please, would you recommend songs, iMixes, or even whole albums you think…
getting ready for a master class or one-off
I don’t know that I ever really got the most out of the master classes I participated in. I might have gotten marginally more out of the one or two-off lessons I had with visiting artists, but as I frequently…
Though they are high in fiber
***Anyone interested in information on the Southern teaching tour, read these posts! *** I’m not sure if it’s an LA phenomenon or if I am just some sort of magnet for silliness, but the past few months have shown me…
Atlanta Master Class
March 1st, more details here, if you check out the Calendar section. Many many thanks to Church of the Redeemer, Kim, Ana, and the entire Atlanta Cello Project. EDIT: Enrollment to participate in the Atlanta Master Class is now CLOSED!…
Texas hospitality
The esteemed and lovely Dr. Elizabeth Morrow has extended the facilities of the University of Texas, Arlington for the 2nd stop on my little tour. Some of you may know her through the Texas Cello Academy or the thoughtful writings…
Should you participate in a Master Class?
I’ve never really gotten into the term “Master Class”. First off, it just sounds scary. Second, it usually is scary! And yet, it is a valuable part of the pre-professional and college level experience, fear and all. I like the…
Enrollment Form
Here’s the form for participants/attendees to fill out and return by February 6th. I hope the pricing doesn’t terrify too many of you. The rates are shy of what I charge here in LA, to try and encourage a lot…
Master Class and Private Lesson Sign Up!
Attention cellists of Austin Dallas Atlanta Miami I am coming to your area to conduct some master class seminars and give some private lessons! Here are my tentative dates: Wednesday. February 25th, private lessons/possible master class in Austin, TX Friday,…
Step Right Up!
I am planning the initial master class/private lesson tour, and in order to make it happen, I would like a few things: 1) a point person in each stop to help bring people in, even if just to watch. General…
once more, with feeling
I have talked big and small game about doing a swing out to a few cities for master classes and private lessons. This time, I think I’ll actually go to the trouble to make it happen. My thought is Midwest…
