Cellosophy Method

Teach a Modern Cello Method That Pays You $5-10 Per Student, Every Month, Forever

Get certified for free (not $1,500+), earn passive income from every enrollment, and give your students a practice system that removes willpower from the equation.

Built on the same scaffolded video method that has cello professors enrolled, and play-tested for 15,000 hours.

What If Your Students Paid Less—And You Made More?

Here's how it works:

When your students enroll in the Cellosophy video course (normally $99/mo), you earn $5/mo per student. They pay only $59/mo for unlimited access to a practice system that guides them through every rep session.

But here's where it gets better for everyone:

For every book you certify in, your students' price drops to $49/mo—and you earn $10/mo per student instead.

So the more you invest in your teaching (by certifying), the more value your students get AND the more you earn.

It's a system designed to reward great teaching.

Quick math. If you have 25 students and teach for the next 30 years, you’re talking about an extra $3,000 a year… or $90,000 over your career.

The Practice Buddy Your Students Have Been Missing

The video component is worth way more than $59/month.

Here's what your students actually get:

A permanent practice buddy that removes willpower from the equation.

They hit play once. The track guides them through exactly what they need to do—rep by rep, technique by technique, piece by piece. When the track ends, practice is done.

No negotiating. No "how long should I practice?" No staring at the page wondering what to do next.

Just hit play and follow along.

We're expecting students to learn at least 2x faster. (We don't have proof yet—but the system is designed for it.)

And here's the kicker:

This is the same scaffolded video system that has cello professors enrolled in the Popper Etude course.

If it works for college-level players working through advanced études, imagine what it does for beginners who need structure most.

 Reverse-Engineered From Saint-Saëns, Built for Modern Students

I didn't start at Book 1 and work my way up.

I started at Volume 6: Saint-Saëns Concerto No. 1.

Why Saint-Saëns? Because it's simpler than it sounds to an audience. Great writing that builds genuine confidence without overwhelming technical demands.

After Richard and I worked on the Popper études together, I realized I could apply the same scaffolded approach to an entire method. So I picked Saint-Saëns as the first concerto milestone, then worked backwards to build a complete path that actually prepares students for real repertoire.

Not just scales and folk songs. Not just checking boxes.

Real musicianship from day one.

You've Been Overpaying for Certifications That Don't Pay You Back

Let's talk about what teacher certification actually costs:

Suzuki Teacher Training: $1,500+ per level (often $2,000-3,000 when you factor in travel, materials, etc.)

ABRSM Certification: $1,000-2,500+ depending on level and location

Royal Conservatory: $800-1,500+ per level

Cellosophy Certification: FREE

And That's Not All You Get:

✅ 3 months of Mastermind free (normally $99/month = $297 value)
✅ 6 additional months of Mastermind free for each book you certify in
✅ My retention strategies that keep students enrolled (yes, even during summer)
✅ Recital templates and performance planning guides
✅ Business systems for steady income year-round
✅ Access to a community of teachers building their studios the same way

The Mastermind isn't fluff. It's the business side of teaching that nobody taught you in music school.

Because making money AND keeping students (by serving them better) is a win-win.

Teachers Are Already Making the Switch

One teacher already converted his entire studio of 30 students to Cellosophy.

He's not going back.

Why? Because his students are more engaged, he's making extra income every month, and he finally gets to teach a method he actually believes in.

(Plus, he doesn’t have to tell his Aunt about that old grey goose anymore).

You can be next.

FAQ

"When will certification be available?"
We're currently finishing the video course with our video editor. Early access teachers will be notified first and get exclusive Mastermind access.

"Do I have to stop teaching Suzuki?"
Not at all. Many teachers are using Cellosophy alongside Suzuki or transitioning students gradually. We've built smooth entry points at every level - have them finish book 1 and then swap into the middle of Cellosophy Volume One, for instance.

"What if I don't have many students yet?"
Even better. Start with Cellosophy from day one and build your studio around a method that pays you monthly from the beginning - the Mastermind will help you build your studio.

"How does the income actually work?"
Students enroll directly in the video course at $59/mo (you earn $5). When you certify in a book, their price drops to $49/mo (and you earn $10). Payments are processed monthly, automatically.

"Is this really free certification?"
Yes. No course fees, no travel costs, no annual renewals. You invest your time learning the method, and we invest in you by making certification accessible.

"What if my students don't want to pay for the video course?"
The video course is optional but highly recommended. You can teach Cellosophy without it—but I firmly believe that their progress will be 2x faster with the video course.
