Oregon City Music academy offers Cello Lessons
Oregon City Music academy offers cello Lessons for kids. We offer classical training as well as the Suzuki Method. The Suzuki method is based on his approach that musical ability is not an inborn talent but an ability that can be developed. Any child, who is professionally trained, can develop musical ability, just as all children develop the ability to speak their mother tongue. The potential of every child is unlimited.
Cello is the Perfect Instrument to Learn
How many kids do you know who play the violin? How many play the cello? Exactly. As students get more advanced and start to play in higher-level ensembles, cellists are always the most sought-after, simply because there are fewer of them. This could give your child access to ensembles, educators, and institutions that might otherwise remain out of reach—opportunities that open doors to camps, colleges, and beyond. It is also a very versatile instrument. A cello can play the melody, the bass line, and everything in between. Cellos are also known to be extremely therapeutic, giving the student a form of self-expression, and providing them with the sounds they need to express what words cannot.
What to Expect on your First Lesson
Your instructor will get to know your child. We will talk about goals musical preferences and interests. Then we help them become familiar with their cello. Next, you’ll go over the names of the different parts of the cello and the bow and talk about how to care for each. From scroll to end button and tip to heel, you’ll want to get familiar with your new instrument as well as its accouterments, a cake of rosin (rubbed on the bow and used to increase friction between the bow hair and the cello strings), and shoulder rest.
