About cello lessons

From the Italian word violincello, the cello is an integral part of standard orchestras, chamber groups, string quartets, and even modern and independent rock. The Cello is one of our favorite instruments. There's simply nothing else that can paint a picture of intense and deep emotion drizzled with an underlying sadness. The cello bow drawn against the strings seems to be able to wrap around the aching heart and understand the heart's most intimate and raw feeling. Have fun taking cello lessons - we're jealous!

Cello student requests

My daughter Jillian is a Freshman at Bradford HS in Kenosha. She has been playing since 4th grade, and taking lessons since sixth grade. Her former teacher moved away late last year. She has had a few lessons since with a teacher in Milwaukee, but between the trip up there and that teacher's busy schedule, it has been somewhat sporadic.

I would like to begin cello lessons in the near future and am looking for a teacher. I played the violin and viola several years ago in college so I have a base in music. I was never superb but played marginally well. I have always wanted to pursue the cello though. I am 38 now and live in Denver and work in Golden.

I am 62. I have a nice cello I took Susuki method for a while about 10 years ago. I would like to know if you would take me as student. I am really an almost absolute beginner. Do you use the Susuki method (that's not essential to me ofcourse)? What is the cost of lessons?

I am 31 years old and have been playing the cello since 2006. I haven't picked up a bow in 6 months, due to getting married (I know it's no excuse!) I'm in the first book still, but I can read music (I played clarinet in HS), however I am more familiar with treble clef, but my cello teacher previously has helped me learn my bass clef notes.
