Hi, my name is Aditya and I am happy to be a member of Cellostoppers where I can share my love for music with my sister and friends. I am excited to explore various music genres through this Cello ensemble and can't wait to have a lot of fun doing so. I also enjoy playing the piano and the drums. I have other hobbies including sports, chess and the Rubik’s cube. I love playing music as it is a way to convey emotions and feelings through sound.

My name is Lucas and I’ve been playing the cello for 11 years. The cello first entered my life when I was 4 years old. My mother brought me to the Suzuki Music Academy, where the teacher introduced me to this "big violin." Unaware at the time, I soon discovered the cello would become a lifelong friend. Since then, I’ve performed with the Suzuki Academy, MYO, school orchestras, chamber music groups, and now with the cello stoppers! I have a passion for performing, as I enjoy making people happy through music. I’m constantly inspired by all genres of music, and enjoy listening to them. I derive joy from solo and collaborative performances, aiming to share the beauty of music and bring happiness to others.

Hi, I'm Rachel! I’ve been playing cello since I was about 3, so almost 10 years now! Currently, I’m focusing on my cello diploma and Elgar's Cello Concerto in E minor, after focusing more on foundation skills after completing Grade 8 in 2022. In addition to cello, I also enjoy reading, tennis and playing with my dogs in my free time. My favourite cello composer is Bach because he manages to mix patterns and beautiful passages together.

My name is Karina Taylor, and I have been learning cello since the mere age of 4. Learning under the tutelage of Sandy Kiefer, Rosie Mills, Tamara Douglas-Morris and Yi Chun Chen, I gained a love and appreciation for music. From cello to bass to drums to singing to guitar, I have endeavoured to become a well-rounded musician in many aspects. Music will continue to stay a prominent aspect in my life, as I continue to develop my musicianship. I hope you enjoy our performances!

Hi my name is Kairo, I'm mostly a self-taught instrumentalist who loves any chance to perform. My first instrument was the cello, which I still (somewhat) play to this day, but I mainly focus on the guitar and drums at the moment. I have been teaching myself guitar for nearly 5 years, and I've been taught by incredible cello teachers, such as Sandy Kiefer, Rosie Mills, Yi Chun Chen, and Tamara Douglas-Morris. Apart from music, I love running, exploring new things with my friends and building things. I hope to continue playing/studying music for quite a while and hope to keep playing with Cellostoppers whenever I can.

Hello, my name is Anusha! I love music because it allows me to connect with others and express my emotions whether I’m playing in my school band or singing my favourite songs with my little brother. I have been playing the cello since I was four years old. With the support of my beloved parents, I’ve been able to learn so much about the importance of discovering new hobbies. Alongside music, I love editing videos, crocheting, and baking. I love Cellostoppers because of the encouraging environment I experience whenever I walk into rehearsal and the fun of being able to pursue my passions with friends.
