Through games and activities, Dalcroze allows students to dive deeper into their repertoire away from their instrument. Dalcroze isn’t only fun, but it helps students develop a stronger understanding of the piece they’re learning. They’ll explore key musical elements like rhythm, meter and phrasing deeply through movement, before applying their learning to the cello.

These CelloBello classes will be led by a wonderful co-teaching duo: Mira Larson and Sandra Halleran (find their bios below). Class time will be divided between time at the cello and time exploring the repertoire through the lens of Dalcroze—so please bring your instruments! Students will leave feeling empowered to ace these pieces in their next lesson or performance.
