Learn in a lighthearted and supportive environment. Young musicians will experience demonstrations, feedback, and encouragement. We will focus on playing technique, posture, ear training and listening, and building repertoire. Private lessons are learner-driven and each week's topic and focus is set based on learner needs and interest. Get ready to meet your musical goals for success on the cello! Posture skills include: Bow grip Wrist movements Playing in the correct location on the strings Holding the instrument correctly on the shoulder Correct finger position on the fingerboard Technique skills include: Pizzicato-plucking the strings Legato-long smooth bows Staccato and Spicatto - short bow strokes Intonation-listening and playing in tune Music theory skills include: Sight reading and musical notation Scales and Arpeggios Key Signatures Counting rhythms Our curriculum focuses on developing a joy for music and enjoyment of the instrument.
