The cello is an expressive instrument, both in a solo context and as part of an ensemble. The cello can be one of the most diverse instruments in a group or as a solo artistic voice. But finding your own voice on the cello requires the guidance of an experienced cello instructor.

Program Information

The Farabius Music Academy offers cello lessons for children and adults for every age, level, and genre. Our teaching staff ensure that we can provide our offering to a wide range of learning styles and differing priorities of our students.  We will make sure that you’re matched with the cello teacher best suited to your skill level, personality, and goal.

Each online cello lesson takes place between one teacher and one student for either 30, 45 or 60 minutes. While our cello sessions are all private, parents are more than welcome to attend their child's classes

Goals:

Our goal is the development of our students to their highest musical level through private lessons. Creating the correct foundation for technique and appropriate repertoire is the utmost important thing. Beginner students start with the fundamentals, including the right way of holding the cello, holding the bow, comfortable hand position, finger placement, reading music, and learning simple songs. Advanced students continue to progress with increased proficiency in techniques and significant repertoire. Our cello curriculum covers the following subjects:

• Note reading and recognition
• Counting, rhythm reading
• Technique (scales, arpeggios, trill)
• Sight reading
• Rudiments of Theory
• Memorization
• Ear training

Levels / Ages offered:

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.

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.
