Cello Lessons in Bethesda and Potomac
Cello lessons at the International School of Music in Bethesda are designed to fit each student’s needs. The International School of Music cello teachers utilize multiple cello method programs in their teaching, and can also utilize the Suzuki method if the parent or student desires. From J.S. Bach, to Antonio Vivaldi, Ludwig Van Beethoven, the Suzuki method, Movie themes, Pop/Rock music, or even Bluegrass, a student can learn it all at the International School of Music.
Beginning cello students start with the music fundamentals: reading music, sight reading, basic music theory, playing by ear, tone development, comfortable hand position, fingering, posture, and bowing technique. Cello students also work on their musicality, dynamics, interpretation, and more.
Intermediate and advanced cello students are taught the wide variety of bowing techniques, including pizzicato. They also learn about different qualities of sound, fingering, vibrato, position changes, dexterity, musicianship, and more advanced cello repertoire. The goal of our cello lessons is to instill in students a love of music within a comprehensive program that is flexible to individual needs.
