CelloKids

Our CelloKids classes utilize a unique curriculum that fuses the Dalcroze Method with musicianship on the cello. In these classes, we will relate movement experiences and musical concepts together so that students begin to understand these ideas in an organic way. Then, in the follow-up class, our cello faculty will help the students find ways to adapt this embodied information to their cello playing, making the learning come full circle: sound-ear-body-sight-cello. This curriculum is being pioneered and co-taught by Horacio Contreras, Jeremy Dittus, and Andrea Yun. Classes will be offered in both English and Spanish.

Wondering what on earth are scale modes? Great! Mike Block will be using improvisation as a means to explore the 7 Greek modes of the typical Major scale (i.e. Dorian mode, Lydian mode, etc). Join this class to better understand the importance of these modes and how they apply to music. This class is intended for Intermediate players—but any curious beginner can sign up to audit the class as an Observer off camera. For the purposes of this class, “intermediate players” should have 3-5 years of playing experience AND be over age 10.
