STATEMENT OF MY TEACHING PHILOSOPHY AND GOALS

My teaching goals are to provide guidance for young musicians that would help them to become excellent cellists, as well as complete musicians, artists, and teachers. I encourage my students to at tend as many concerts as they can, to listen to different performers, master classes, to use any opportunity to perform chamber music, to take lessons from different teachers and to b e open to different ideas. work. I help them to develop stamina and cour age to constantly push and challenge themselves, use all their intelligence, patience and endurance to achieve their professional goals I guide my students to apply all their musical knowledge to their concert performances, to keep cultivating expressiven ess of their tone, style, personality, elegance, finesse, full range of emotions, overall intelligence and staying alert against any occurrence of a bad taste. My students learn not only how to sing on the cello, but how to speak as well. They learn to p ortray various emotions – after all it is the world of emotions we are presenting to our audiences. They learn and u nderstand that a convincing performance of any composition demands a peculiar combination of extroversion and introversion, rhetoric and ari stocracy, brilliance and intimacy. During my private lessons and weekly Studio Classes we explore the following ideas and topics:  The basic approach to practicing;  The physiology of playing cello and correcting physical problems through the relaxation and learning the art o f self - observation;  Collaborating with other musicians, knowing what it takes and how to achieve the most productive rehearsals and enjoyable performances;  Pr eparation for orchestra auditions and understanding what is expected;  Practicing orchestra parts for the upcoming UNT Symphony concerts;  Working with scores and different methods of rehearsing chamber music.  Recognizing the intentions of the ;  How to think of and align themselves with greatness;  Developing a noble attitude toward the Art;  Developing new forms of insight trough Attention and Intention, Intellect and Intuition;  Development of analytical ability and deep inner listening.  Developing Emp athy - the person’s capacity of participating in another’s feelings or ideas.  To be completely engaged with what they are doing in the here and now, instead of calling it Work; realize it is Play.  Understanding Who one wants to become is already here.  All “ challenges” are not really challenges, but the way to bring you closer to all your potentials, to who you really are. It is a journey of self - realization.  Understanding that you are already the Master, now you just have to be the Master, to became the Mast er. You are creating the future version of yourself NOW!  To be clear of what you want to become and what you should or shouldn’t do in order to get there. Your actions should be aligned accordingly with your vision of yourself in the future and what are yo u trying to accomplish.

REVIEWS

"One of the best performances of the night was the one of cellist Eugene Osadchy and pianist Anastasia Markina, with Sonata f or Cello and Piano and the Romance "Do Not Sing, A Beauty, To Me" by Sergei Rachmaninov. Passionate, with great strength and character, performance deserved the most prolonged applaus e of the evening." El Commentario, Colima, Mexico, August 2015

“In Osadchy and Rowe’s hands, Debussy sonata revealed dramatic sonic palettes, with crescendos contrasting with extended pianissimo, rubati, and pizzicato passages that drew in the audience until the last note. The English musicologist Ernest New man wrote that the sonata consists “mostly of a fog opening now and then, and giving us a momentary glimpse of ravishingly beautiful countryside.” If this is what Debussy had indeed intended, Osadchy and Rowe captured it brilliantly... Osadchy’s playing was outstanding, with a lovely tone and sensitive phrasing… After a standing ovation, Osadchy and Rowe returned to the stage and treated the audience to Schubert’s “Du bist die Ruh” (Op. 59, No. 3; D.776). The long, singing lines of Schubert’s melody are ideally suited for Osadchy’s bold tone, and the accompaniment provi ded by Rowe was, as we’ve come to expect, nuanced and sensitive to his partner’s playing. All in all, this was an excellent conclusion to a wonderful evening of music - making.” Martin Monkman for Islandnet.com, August 2015

“In Prokofiev cello Sonata, Op.119 Osadchy's playing was absolutely gorgeous. He has a rich, full, round cello tone, beautiful vibrato which he adjusts to the mood of each movement and superlative technical finesse. Prokofiev can throw some unusual deman ds at the string player especially, and Osadchy managed them with brilliance. The ending of the first movement was spine - tingling, principally because the two musicians were working together to create one piece of Prokofievian lushness. Osadchy’s col legno really spoke, his double - stop harmonics were amazing, and through it all, he maintained an atmosphere of playful insouciance, as if these obstacles were no big deal at all. “ J. Robin Coffelt for Theat e r Jones , March 11, 2013 The New Face o f : “Mr. Osadchy possesses a very rich tone… a marvelous performer wi th white - hot passion throughout … very fine music making…” “Mr. Osadchy is steeped in the great tradition and it's good to know that there are ardent keepers of the flame.” Fred Kirshnit, New York Sun, 2006

“… Extraordinary playing by Mr. Osadchy on cello.” Olin Chism, Dallas Morni ng News

“I’ve never heard that high - register cello sound more stingingly heartfelt than from Osadchy’s touch.” “Beautifully played music led to spirited ovation.” Lloyd Dykk, Vancouver Sun

“ Paragon of Russian élan Osadchy revealed here as a poet: translating the sweet sadness of the Russian psyche with both authority and grace.” Michael Scott, Vancou ver Sun

“His love for music showed in every note, every pause. It showed in the tremendous skill and concentration required to mainta in absolute perfection of tone, and a certain hidden tension balanced with a surface serenity.” Maev Brennan , t he Daily Courier Anchorage, Al

“I felt most fortunate to hear Eugene Osadchy, who played with gorgeous richness that I longed to hear more of.” Nicole Tsong, Anchorage Daily News

“From the fierce knit of his brows to his expression of pure bliss, Osadchy was a visual treat as his passionate playing spur red his fellow musicians on to a performance Mendelssoh n would have been proud to witness.” Noelle Hahn, Anchorage Daily News

“The riveting cellist Eugene Osadchy reached deep for that “magical connection” between musician and audience.” Louise Whitney, Georgia Straight , Vancouver, Canada

“Cellist Eugene Osadchy showed a fine array of carefully applied nuances in the expressiveness of his beautifully sounding instrument, coloring Schumann’s Fantas y Pieces into a musical painting with delicate shadings.” Karel ten Hoop, White Rock Review, BC

“Eugene Osadchy’s performance was very powerful, engaging and inspiring, particularly the range of his grea t tone. If you did not attend this concert it would be difficult to imagine how beautiful and potent the sound of a cello could be. The resonance of Mr. Osadchy‘s cello was amazing. It was also touching, moving, and motivating to hear such mastery, perfect ion and outstanding brilliance.” Dallas Chinese Times “A night to remember. Osadchy and Markina played Dmitry Shostakovich's lone cello sonata, and this was the highlight for me i n a program that was consisten tly played with passion and artistry. I had to fight back tears in the Shostakovich and could not believe the way they traded off in the third movement. Even the long early Rachmaninov Piano Trio was beautiful; I'd never heard it scaled so perfectly. For t he first time, it seemed to make perfect sense. I could not believe the concert! You rarely hear music this good …” Lloyd Dykk, March 2011 , Vancouver Sun , Canada

”That master class we had, even though I felt like a complete idiot afterwards, was one of the largest and most profound turn ing points in my existence as a cellist, because you simply gave me the wake up call of my career to d ate. And later I realized that my thoughts were blinded by paranoia, you weren’t breaking me down about my then really confusing and stupid technique, you were encourag ing me because you knew or believed I was capable of so much more. I realize now that I was angry with myself for letting so many technical aspects of my playing go unnoticed. You once said to me “You are your own best teacher”. What a powerful line that was, and how much more sense it makes now! Benjamin Franklin once said, “Most lessons a re learned outside the classroom”.
