The Farabius Academy of Music offers online private cello lessons at all levels and ages for those who love the rich tone of the cello. Students in individual study can learn with no prior experience, all the way to extensive professional experience, and we will ensure you have an enjoyable experience. We provide a wide range and variety of learning styles and difficulty levels for our students to make sure each individual can grow at their own pace.
Repertoire:
Selecting repertoire is one of the most challenging and important tasks that we take on in the development of our students’ musical education. We work on the repertoire in these categories: etudes and studies, unaccompanied works, sonatas, concertos, suites, variations, etc., and short pieces. Students at all levels will be given a selection of repertoire from multiple eras of music to study and perfect.
