Award winning cellist Joshua Nakazawa holds degrees from Manhattan School of Music, Southern Methodist University, and The Royal Conservatory. He has been working professionally as a tenured member of the Hawaiʻi Symphony Orchestra for the past 10 years, and has been teaching for over 20 years. With pedagogy passed down from renowned cellists including Mstislav Rostropovich, Orlando Cole, Janos Starker, Andres Diaz, David Geber, Joseph Johnson, Colin Carr, and many more, Josh has accumulated a wealth of knowledge which he uses to teach all ages and levels of cello. By using a combination of teachings and etudes that have been passed down for generations, as well as using more common methods like Suzuki, Grant, Schroeder, and Popper, Josh has honed a system that draws from a combination of many methods in order to address every part of the learning experience in a an organized daily sequence. After teaching hundreds of live beginner cellists to play the Bach Prelude of Suite No.1 in under 6 months, Josh decided to take his successful system online.
