about

Are you looking for a high-energy group class program introducing young people to the wonders of classical and folk music? Experience a cello only class program that plants musical learning seeds in your child that will help them grow into active cello learners. Music can develop your child’s confidence, creativity and independence.

Drawing on over thirty years experience as a music educator and her own experience as a parent, Louise King has developed the new Youth Beginner Cello Class program to appeal to and engage busy active young minds and fingers.  If you are looking for a music class that develops the whole child through learning music – cognitive, physical, emotional, language and musical skills – then you are in the right hands.

Youth Cello Ensemble Class is ideal for kids ages 6-11 in primary school or home-schooled families and designed for kids who think meeting new friends who play cello would be fun. Come and make music in a jam-packed activity class!

what is in a class?

Using powerful imaginative resources and engaging music games, Cello Dreaming knows how to tap into your child’s creative spirit to develop learning strengths, creativity and musical confidence.

Music Games Playful music activities integrated to music literacy, vocal development, listening games, rhythm and games that develop muscular control and body co-ordination.

Singing Activities include a mixture of musical styles and well-known songs to allow your child to explore their voice. Singing helps develop your child’s pitch recognition, memory and recall, physical development and sense of well-being.

Storytelling and Literacy Each class is built on the concept of a musical element, story, or topic. Let your child experience a fully integrated educational experience through the power of music.

Parent Involvement  Your child is learning to be self-sufficient in a group setting of peers, whilst taking comfort from knowing their parent is close by. Parents or caregivers are welcome to participate in the last 10 minutes of each class so as to support the student with the At-Home Resources ensuring the learning can continue at home with your child’s best teacher—you!
