In Their Words

Rachel Jeong
Cello teacher
Rachel is studying at the Sydney Conservatorium under Julian Smiles — one of Australia’s most respected cellists — and is a graduate of the Victorian College of the Arts Secondary School. She’s performed with the Melbourne String Ensemble on their 2024 tour of Germany and Czech Republic, played solo on 3MBS radio, and taken part in overseas masterclasses with Peter Bruns and Martin Lohr. She’s attentive to the details that matter early on — posture, bow hold, tone production — and brings the kind of careful, patient teaching that the cello demands in its first stages.
