What String Players are Saying...
"It's so well done! I’ve always wanted to improvise. Your methodical approach is excellent and exactly what I need! Thank you!"
“Thanks to Natalie, being super organized and articulate, I now have a very good idea as to how to practice and what I should work on. Before the workshop, I had no clue where I would start.”
“Overall i loved the class, i would say i definitely got what i was hoping for out of it, which was the confidence to start approaching improvising, and i’m continuing to integrate that into my daily practice which is awesome!!”
“ It was great, and Natalie is great (and super organized)!!”
Hello, I'm Natalie Spehar, multi-genre acoustic and electric cellist.
My experience as a formally-trained classical musician alongside years of experience as a touring rock performer and session artist has given me such a unique perspective on improvisation, alternative-genre playing, and how to teach that versatile skill set to others. If you are itching to sit-in with a band, be more comfortable when put on the spot, or simply expand your musical vocabulary, this is the course for you!
