Based in the Suzuki Method, this introductory cello class is the perfect jump-start for your little one’s future in music. Over the course of 5 days, a small cohort of up to 8 complete beginners will build a pretend cello, to practice the following skills:
1. Sitting with the best posture to play the cello
2. Treating the instrument with care and respect.
3. Clapping some basic rhythms and singing songs featured in the first Suzuki pieces.
4. Listening to lots of cello playing to build excitement and anticipation.
Through fun and engaging games and exercises, by the end of the week participants will build up to an exciting introduction to the *real instrument*!
Please note: Parent Participation is required
The Suzuki method is well known and respected throughout the world. It came to North America from Japan in the 60’s and has been growing exponentially around the world ever since, enriching the lives of hundreds and thousands of children.
Many famous musicians, whether solo artists or symphony players, got their first start with the Suzuki method. Main tenets of the philosophy are: an early start, supportive and fun group classes with peers, and a nurturing musical environment prepared by the parent. Most importantly, Suzuki embraces the empowering philosophy that “Every Child Can”.
