“If you or someone you know plays cello, please join us… whether you’re a beginner or a professional, I think there’s something you’ll find interesting. I look forward to seeing you online!” - Mike Block, cello teacher at ArtistWorks
Mike Block checks in from his home studio to let us in on what’s going on in his world. Getting right to the music, he starts off with a nice groove riff for a new song he's working on, it sounds great!
At ArtistWorks, we believe in full circle learning, and content like this is just a sample of the connected community we strive to build with our students. Typically only available to paying members, here's a taste of what ArtistWorks offers beyond the lessons.

"Here at ArtistWorks I’m really excited to offer a full multi-style curriculum that anyone can benefit from. With the Video Exchanges I’m going to be able to keep up my relationships with my students, no matter where I am in the world. It’s a really exciting time to be a cellist." - Mike Block
How long have you been playing the cello?
I started the cello when I was 9. I had played Suzuki Violin since I was 4 (along with my siblings), but when the string program started at 4th grade in my Elementary school, I decided I wanted to switch to the cello. One of my main motivations for switching to cello was so I could sit down when I practiced, which is a bit ironic in retrospect, since I always stand now. My first teacher was Peter Sukonik, a Russian immigrant who was Associate Principal in the Kansas City Symphony.
