Billy Tobenkin
17 years ago, I started my cello journey as an adult beginner at the age of 25 with no prior musical background or education…
…Just a dream of expressing myself through the instrument and wanting to feel + hear myself pulling beautiful musical lines out of the cello.
Today, I’m a professional cellist and online educator specializing in helping others, like me, who found the cello later in life.
I’ve developed my own methodology that will help you:
➡️ Play with less tension
➡️ Pull a more beautiful sound from day ONE
➡️ Hit the fast-forward button on your progress
-
Nothing at all!
The Challenge is completely free. You can tune in, watch each day’s replay, participate in the Facebook group, and enter the lesson giveaway at NO cost to you.
-
Inside the popup Facebook group.
Once you register to join the Challenge, you’ll receive an email with the link to the Facebook group where you can request to join.
To tune in live to watch each day’s lesson taking place at 12:00PM EDT, simply head over to the group and you’ll see Billy go live.
You’ll also find a community of fellow adult learners and more details on your chance to win the Scholarship all in one place.

The ONE exercise you need to link free ergonomic motion with sound production
How to boost and double your sound without tension
How to activate your hearing in the right way (meaning you can stop wondering, “does this even sound better?”)
How to adjust your mindset and problem-solve effectively (YES this is within your reach even as a beginner)
-
Here's how to enter to win a 60-minute private lesson with Billy via Zoom:
Step 1: Attend the 3 days of Challenge sessions (or watch the replay)
Step 2: Submit each day's homework in the popup Facebook group (within 24 hours of the live lesson)
It’s that easy!
-
Adult learners of all levels.
No matter your playing level, I believe that it's never too early to develop an answer to the question, “What is a good sound” and to strive for it constantly.
