What Your Child Can Explore in Cello Lessons
Posture & Bow Control
Cello is played seated with the instrument resting against the body, which means posture and positioning are essential from the very first lesson. Students learn how to sit correctly, hold the bow with control, and develop the physical foundation that prevents bad habits before they start.
Â
Reading & Intonation
Cello reads bass clef, which gives students a strong foundation if they ever want to explore music theory or other bass-range instruments. Lessons also focus on building intonation through ear training, since string instruments require your child to find each note by feel and sound rather than pressing a key or fret.
Â
Playing Inspiring Music
Cello has one of the widest emotional ranges of any instrument, and its deep, resonant sound tends to hook kids quickly. Lessons are built around whatever your child connects with.Â
