Description: This cello group class is designed for adult amateur cellists who want to refresh and refine their technique in a supportive, focused setting. We’ll revisit the foundations that foster a confident, resonant sound — including bow hold, bow distribution, and essential bow strokes — with clear guidance and practical ideas you can immediately apply to your own playing.
In addition, we’ll strengthen left hand setup and efficiency, explore balanced positioning, and work toward a natural, expressive vibrato. Whether you’re returning after time away or simply looking to polish and rebalance your technique, this class offers thoughtful feedback and a collaborative atmosphere to help you play with greater ease, control, and confidence.

• Play in 1st position on all strings
