Class Experience

This class is a fun way to learn our most beloved holiday pieces with music theory concepts cleverly disguised in the class. This class would be best for cellist who have been playing for at least a year. I teach to the class. So in each session, I will keep with a part of tune until the class fully understands before moving on the next concept. We will do a lot of playing at the same time then at the end of class we can solo to present the understanding of the material. All Learners should come with their own cello in good working condition. I suggest you take my class on the left hand in addition to this class.

Class One and Two: Learners will become familiar with "Jingle Bells" and "Deck The Halls." We will play the piece using standard notation. I have a print out of the song in standard notation.
Class Three and Four: Learners will become familiar with "Winter Wonderland" and "Carol of the Bells." We will play the piece using standard notation. I have a print out of the song in standard notation.
Class Five and Six:  Learners will become familiar with "12 Days of Christmas" and "Greenselves." We will play the piece using standard notation. I have a print out of the song in standard notation.

I will also take suggestions from the class about they would like to play. 

The goal of the class to have fun getting ready for the holiday and to have each cellist confidently perform these melodies in time for your favorite holiday memorized or from reading the sheet music.

Hello OutSchool community! I am Katie Chambers, a cellist and music educator based in New York City. I've been running my own private teaching studio of cello, piano and violin students since graduating with my Masters degree in cello performance from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music in 2005. Highlights have always been our annual recital, our various community-service concerts and ensemble recitals with other local private teaching artists. I look forward to meeting your students and sharing my experiences of traveling around the world playing the cello and hearing your students thoughts on their love of the cello. Cello should be fun and now it is!
