Every morning at the first period, students start with aural training which develops listening skill, singing in tune and memorizing music. Cello bow hold, finger position, and sitting posture will be adjusted and practiced for an hour in the 2nd period. The 3rd and 6th periods are cello and piano fundamental music theory which provide them with the skills needed to read and write Western music notation. Students also get to rehearse solo pieces with assigned teaching assistant at the end of the day.
These unique sessions equip your cello beginners a great start to their musical journey and ready for school orchestra! Students will walk away from these classes better in individual skills!
