CelloKids: Your Bow is a Paintbrush! Exploring Your Sound and Color Palette with Erin Breene – Part 2

In these virtual classes, students will explore different ways of expressing themselves through their bows. Concepts will include developing tone and stroke control, how to spin your sound, as well as learning how to communicate musical ideas with more clarity. Through interactive games, students will develop tools to unlock their bow’s expressive possibilities. These classes will be led by the wonderful Erin Breene, who joins us from our partners at Chamber Music | OC, which is one of Southern California’s only pre-professional classical music training programs.
