Dr. Molly Gebrian is a professional violist and scholar with a background in cognitive neuroscience and author of Learn Faster, Perform Better: A Musician’s Guide to the Neuroscience of Practicing. As a performer, she prioritizes the works of living composers and those who have traditionally been excluded from the culture of classical music. She holds degrees in both music and neuroscience from Oberlin College and Conservatory, New England Conservatory of Music, and Rice University. Previously, she was the viola professor at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and the University of Arizona. After a decade of teaching viola at the collegiate level, she joined the faculty at New England Conservatory of Music in Fall 2024 as the inaugural Teaching Artistry Scholar-In-Residence to teach about the science of practicing.
