"My son, Brendan, is very fortunate to be studying cello with Bonnie Cohan. She provides the ideal blend of traditional Suzuki methodology with an integrated infusion of aligned music theory and a student-generated interest/need component. Such a whole child approach has allowed him to progress at his own pace while experiencing confidence-building success all along the way. This opportunity continues to enrich his overall educational experience in ways that are not met within the confines of the school day. Thank you, Ms. Bonnie, for expanding my son’s world in such an enriching and rewarding way!"

"From my childhood through high school, I took cello lessons from Ms.
Bonnie. During this time, Ms. Bonnie taught me excellent listening skills and strong form in how I approach my cello. Due to her instruction, I was ahead of most of the other cello students at my college in terms of repertoire and knowledge of the world of music. Because of her instruction, I have a love for classical music that supersedes my enjoyment of any other form of music. I credit Ms. Bonnie as the teacher who taught me what I needed to know to enjoy and pursue the world of classical music. Her love of the cello and instruction has inspired me to continue to seek opportunities to play, even as I am now entering my last year of college and seeking graduate work in a non-related musical field. Overall, I believe that Ms. Bonnie provides excellent musical education for those who are looking toward the Suzuki Method of cello instruction." --- Jacob Stubbs ('12-'13 SGA President) |
I was a student of Ms. Bonnie’s for 14 years. Looking back, I am extremely
grateful for all of the time and energy Ms. Bonnie invested in me. As an
aspiring musician, I realize that Ms. Bonnie gave me a very solid musical
background that has greatly benefited me in my pursuit of a cello
performance degree.
