about

The Adult Intermediate Cello Class Program, designed and directed by Louise King, provides a monthly ensemble for group rehearsal and development for adult aspiring musicians who wish to be mentored in classical contemporary music performance practice including exploring classical, improvisation, jazz and world music.

Designed with the adult amateur in mind, this group class is fun, dives into new topics and styles of music, develops existing skills and is delivered in a clear and engaging way.

Each class contains technical exercises to build coordination, confidence, musicianship, ear training and music theory. One instructive piece is worked on as a group with teacher demonstrations and at the end of class, this piece will be played by the group with teacher accompaniment. Nobody plays on their own unless they want to! Class activities are done all together in a supportive and encouraging environment. The emphasis is on building musicianship and performance skills integrated with learning to play the cello.

benefits

Under the expert guidance of professional musician Louise King, the participants will learn in a small group. This series of classes is designed to provide adult students to try playing the cello step by step.  It is an opportunity to try something new in a supportive group environment and meet people with similar interests.

requirements

Cello Dreaming recommends that participants have their own or rented cello to be attending the class.  It is highly recommended that you attend all classes to enjoy the sequenced development and to develop teamwork and confidence.
