CELLO LESSONS
CELLO LESSONS IN ELK GROVE, EAST SAC & CITRUS HEIGHTS
The cello is a low pitched string instrument that is always played in a seated position. It has a very rich and deep sound quality. This instrument is beautiful to hear and wonderful to play!
Why Learn Cello at NewSongs Madison Ave?
Proper seating and instrument balance are the first steps to cello mastery. At our Madison Ave campus, students establish their bow grip and tone production using
Andrea Solo Cello Rosin, renowned for its powerful grip and smooth articulation. This allows beginner cellists to draw a resonant, full-bodied sound from the lower strings immediately, preventing the thin, scratchy tone common in self-taught players.
Our cello curriculum utilizes the
Dotzauer and Popper Etudes alongside modern repertoire, closely aligning with the
California Arts Standards for Music (Grade 9-12, Advanced Level, Anchor Standard 4: Analyzing and Interpreting Music). Students who progress through our cello program are rigorously prepared for seating auditions in the Sacramento Youth Symphony and local high school orchestras.
