Everardo is now a passionate teacher and performer in the Chicago area. Everardo graduated with his Bachelor’s Degree in Cello Performance from Chicago College of Performing Arts (CCPA) at Roosevelt University and completed a Performance Diploma in May of 2021 at CCPA where he studied with Dr. Tanya Carey for six years. Currently, Everardo is pursuing a Master’s Degree from DePaul University studying under the guidance of Professor Stephen Balderston. Everardo completed Suzuki teacher training in Cello Books 1-8 of the Suzuki Method, with Dr. Tanya Carey and Avi Friedlander. During their teacher training, they received instruction on how to engage students in a private and group lesson format, maintain a profound and professional bond with parents and students, and engage a range of all ages. 

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.
