Cello Lessons for Adults

IMG_8341.jpg

Adult students are welcome at Redbird! There is a wonderful community of adult students already here to welcome you. Whether learning the cello is brand new or you are re-acquainting yourself with an old friend, Redbird is here for you. 

How to get started

Step One: Get your hands on a cello.

Whether it's giving your current cello a tune-up or buying a cello, Vacanti Violins is a good place to start (and scope out Redbird on your way!). If you're really not ready to commit, it is okay to rent from a local chain store to get you started. They have often have starter deals with low commitment. 

Step Two: Schedule a Trial Lesson

A trial lesson is scheduled in a 60-minute time slot and can last anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes. The purpose is for the student and teacher to get to know each other and communicate expectations. It's a way for the student to feel out how things will be and ask questions and for the teacher to do the same. Trial lessons are only $20 and there is no obligation to continue with lessons afterward. Easy peasy.

There are lots of photos on this website. Some are better than others. The best ones were all taken by former cello student and honorary Redbird, Cora Schiavone.
