Grammy-nominated artist, David Darling, is a multi-faceted cellist who co-founded Music for People, a non-profit educational network that promotes music improvisation as a means of creative self-expression. His dedication to arts-in-education innovation and creativity earned him the 1995 Artist of the Year Award from Young Audiences, Inc.

Why is cello your first choice instrument? (I'm jealous; I want to be reincarnated as a cellist--or a cello!) The cello, like the human voice, exudes great emotion and expression.

My son named his cello "Chubby." Should I be worried?

No, it shows affection.

You're passionate about improvisation.

It's a great gift through which we express ourselves in the most honest and direct way.

... as opposed to "shock and awe" virtuosity?
