 Celeste Ellis Whiting,
B.M., M.S., is a
graduate of the University
of Illinois School of Music in
Urbana-Champaign. She has also studied at the American
Conservatory of Music in Chicago, and the Meadowmount
School of Music in New York.
Her primary teachers include John Fredrickson,
Catherine Tait, and
Alberto Jaffe.Her violin and music history studies are supplemented by graduate work in music librarianship and bibliography at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science (University of Illinois). For the last ten years, she has devoted her work to teaching individual students of all ages and ability levels. The threads that run through all these teaching relationships are a deep awareness of the student as a whole person in a complex world and a simple willingness to honor and cultivate a student's genuine desire to learn to play violin. Central to the teaching practice are compassion, challenge and respect. An experienced reference librarian, she draws upon a world of resources--print, digital, and audio--to create a rich learning experience for students of varying ages, skill levels, and interests. Conveniently located on the westside of Ann Arbor. Call today to schedule a lesson or ask about instruction. (734)998-1097 Contact Celeste by email with any questions or comments.
