  • I believe the best performances come from musicians who are fully present — grounded in their technique, but free in their expression. My work is to help students cultivate both.

ABOUT eric

Eric Edberg is a cellist, teacher, and former professor of music at DePauw University, where he spent more than three decades helping students become expressive, confident, and connected performers. His career as a soloist, chamber musician, and improviser has taken him across the U.S. and abroad, always guided by a deep belief in music’s power to connect and heal.

Drawing on years of teaching and performing, Eric helps musicians develop both technical mastery and inner freedom. His mindful, holistic approach integrates body awareness, curiosity, and presence — transforming practice into a space for growth rather than judgment.

Through his Precision and Play coaching, Eric guides cellists to balance focus with freedom, discipline with joy. His mission is simple: to help musicians rediscover the confidence, creativity, and genuine pleasure that come from playing with ease and authenticity.
