Faculty Feature: Troy

November 7, 2019

Troy Stuart teaches private cello lessons at Silver Music. Here is a bit of insight into his early study:

Age you began studying:

I began studying the violin at age 5, and then switched to cello at age 11.

Why did you choose the cello?

 I liked the size and the sound.

One memory from your lessons or early study:

I remember the day my instructor taught me to vibrate (how to use vibrato) after I had been begging him for almost a year.


Did you always like to practice? If not, how did you, or your parent motivate you to practice?

 I always loved practicing! My parents had to make me go to bed!

Did you ever want to quit?

 Never!

How did music education affect your life?

Music education made me a better teacher and person.

Do you have a musical role model?

 Jacqueline du Pre

Current Favorite Suzuki Piece:

Rigadoon by Henry Purcell

Any advice for budding cellists?:

Have fun and learn to communicate with your teacher.

Things you enjoy other than cello:

Dance, singing, and going to the movies
