Teaching philosophy and areas of expertise:
I believe that music education is so important because no matter what instrument we play or the genre of music we specialize in we are communicating emotions and stories. Sound connects people in all sorts of ways, and I am a strong believer that music should be a communal practice no matter how much knowledge you have of it.
Interests outside of music:
Away from the cello, Everardo loves to tend to his many plants, make coffee, read, cook, going on runs, and going on very long bike rides around the city.
