Develop Your Talent

With the right teacher, young students thrive in cello lessons! With our “old school” approach to cello instruction, introducing your tiny tot to the cello is a breeze. Every student has the natural talent to be a great cello player, and with our expert approach to cello lessons, your child will quickly find and develop their natural abilities!

Inspired by the great cello teacher, Margaret Rowell, your child will experience lessons that are focused, energetic, and fast-paced, promoting good habits and preventing boredom!


Play Beautiful Music

For generations, cello students have followed many different - but similar - paths on their way to mastery of the instrument. Rather than reinvent the wheel, we bring these traditional paths together - on one, continuous track - to help students discover their love of music and cello playing!

Along the way, young cellists learn to play many pieces of beautiful music, including folk tunes, traditional songs, and music by famous classical composers - Bach, Mozart, and more!

Love the Cello!

The cello is one of the most-loved and popular instruments of all time. With the help of our master artist-teachers, you will come to love playing this beautiful instrument.

Our studio offers many performance opportunities throughout the year, from small studio class - where students play for their peers - to larger, more formal recitals. Students are able to share their love of the cello with their friends, families, and other students!
