Welcome to the Cello Studio of Psyche Cassandra Dunkhase!
Music education is extraordinarily important for our children, giving them countless essential life skills that are carried into adulthood and woven into the fabric of our society. Children in music lessons are known to have increased spatial intelligence, pattern recognition abilities, and hand-eye coordination. They learn how to work together, break daunting tasks into smaller, more manageable parts, and communicate effectively. The study of music builds imagination, fosters empathy and develops creative thinking, while giving children a way to process, explore and express their emotions and environment. And perhaps most importantly, in the words of Clark Hodge, my dear friend and founder of the 501(c)(3) Chase the Music, “Music has infinite power to create infinite joy.”
I am an enthusiastic cellist and artist-teacher with a passionate commitment to student development and the learning process. I have taught cello lessons for the past 20 years and work with around 35 students on a weekly basis, ranging in age from 3-18 (as well as a handful of adults!) By providing music education to youth in my community, I have the honor and opportunity to help build a generation of kind, compassionate, and innovative individuals with the desire, drive and tools to make the world the better place. I look forward to joining you on your musical journey!
