What can you expect to do in your lessons?

In your first lessons, we’ll spend time getting to know one another and creating a template for how our lessons will proceed. While each student and lesson is unique, you can expect we’ll work on skills like the ones listed here:

  • how to hold the cello

  • posture

  • pizzicato

  • bow handling

  • note reading

  • how to practice at home

  • shifting & extensions

  • mapping the fingerboard

  • scales

  • key signatures

  • meter/rhythm/tempo

  • sight reading

Are you preparing for an audition?  Maybe a chair assignment in your school orchestra or you’d like to join the youth orchestra?  We can make a plan and work toward reaching your goals.
