The emphasis on the Junior Course is that cello playing is FUN. We dedicate four staff specifically to this course in order that they build special rapport with the children. These teachers work on all areas of musicianship and cello playing in order to ensure a sound musical and technical foundation at this very important stage of learning.

Students should bring a short piece they have studied recently.

The course includes:
• Cello orchestra
• Choir
• Technique and scales sessions in small groups
• Improvisation / blues and jazz workshop
• Ensemble playing
• Masterclass (by audition)
• Performance opportunities
• Dalcroze
• Video analysis
