Cello
The cello is the closest instrument to the human voice and has been around since around 1530. It is a bass instrument but very versatile, with a rich tone and a place in every musical genre. It is essential in every ensemble, but also has the most stunning solo repertoire written for it. The sound is deeply layered and rich and appeals to the human ear.
Learning to play the cello
Lessons are taught in groups or individually. Students need to develop good intonation, through singing tones on their instrument and develop a good relaxed posture. Practice is important to enjoy this instrument, with short, regular sessions the key to good learning and progress.

Is it the right instrument for me?
The cello is a good instrument for all ages. The wonderful thing about the cello is its ease of playing, holding it is a lot easier than the violin and you see cellists regular playing for years longer than other musicians. If you want all round possibilities of being able to play melodies and accompaniments and want to play one of the most versatile instruments in any family, the cello could be the right choice for you
