Welcome back to CelloKids!
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.
These particular classes are recommended for intermediate students (ages 8-12)—students with at least one year of cello playing experience. As in the past, these classes are free to students, but $5 for observers (aka curious teachers or parents). Students are expected to participate in class with their cameras on.
You may notice that CelloBello looks a little different right now, and that new content and updates have temporarily slowed. That’s intentional: behind the scenes, we are carefully preparing for CelloBello’s next chapter as part of Chamber Music America.
Our priority during this transition is to thoughtfully preserve the remarkable resources, knowledge, and community that CelloBello has built over the years while preparing a new home that will extend its reach and connect it to CMA’s national community of musicians, ensembles, educators, presenters, and advocates.
We’re excited about what’s ahead and look forward to sharing much more soon. Thank you for your patience as this work progresses —please continue to enjoy CelloBello and check back for updates!
