Class experience

In this class, students will improve their knowledge of the cello overall. Depending on your student's skill level, their goals will be different, and those goals will be set on a weekly basis.
Homework Offered
The only homework is practicing. I recommend 45 minutes a day, and students can go longer if they want. Students are also free to look ahead in the assigned books if they want.
4+ hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
There will be no formal assessments in this class.
Grades Offered
For students who are starting:

1. A cello (Two options)
- Rent a cello (Recommended, typically 30 USD and up per month)
- You can purchase a cello, but I do not recommend it at this time. You can find them cheap online, but buyer beware; they are cheap for a reason. I would not recommend buying a cello at this time because your child is going to grow, and they will outgrow the instrument. I would purchase a cello if your child is above 5 feet tall, and I would not spend any less than 600 USD on a cello, and I would buy it from a credible musician or music store.
- Whether you rent or purchase a cello, make sure the instrument comes with strings, a bow, an endpin, and a cello case. Sometimes they will give you complementary rosin, sometimes they will not.
2. Essential Elements for Strings Cello book 1 (10.99 USD)
3. Rosin (typically 4-5 USD)
4. A wire music stand (about 10 USD)
5. A rock stop/endpin rest (Mandatory if you have anything other than carpet. Typically 5 USD and up)
6. Cello finger tape (Can be thin strips of tape or small circular smiley face tape. It can be any color you want as long as you can see it on black wood. (The price varies depending your choice. 5 USD-15 USD)
7. A pencil
