大提琴演奏快樂！正好趕上萬聖節，用大提琴演奏詭異的曲調！

This class is a fun way to learn our most beloved spooky classical pieces with music theory concepts cleverly disguised in the class. This class would be best for cellist who have been playing for at least two years. 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 "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by Grieg in d: minor. We will play the piece using standard notation. We will go over a brief history of the piece and composer. This class will also discuss different basic left extension and accelerato. I have a print out of the song in standard notation.
Class Three and Four: Learners will become familiar with "Danse Macabre" by Saint-Saens in c: minor. We will play the piece using standard notation. We will go over a brief history of the piece and composer. This class will also discuss different basic left extension. I have a print out of the song in standard notation.
Class Five and Six: Learners will become familiar with "Hungarian Dance" by Brahms in c: minor. We will play the piece using standard notation. We will go over a brief history of the piece and composer. This class will also discuss different basic left extension and ritardando. I have a print out of the song in standard notation.

If the class is advanced cellists we can speed up and learn more pieces during the six weeks: Chopin's "Funeral March" and Bach's "Toccata and Fuge". If the class needs more time with a specific piece, we will stay 3 weeks with "In the Hall of the Mountain King" and 3 weeks with "Hungarian Dance".

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