Adult Cello Lessons

Adult Cello Lessons

When we talk to adults who want to learn music, it’s ALWAYS the cello they want to learn.  What is it about the cello that makes it so appealing?  Its sweet singing tone, its versatility and range of styles, its romanticism.  Yes.  The cello is an amazing instrument.

So many adults dream of learning the cello, but so few actually do.  Why is that?  Because they think:

• I can’t actually do it, it’s just a dream.
• It’s too difficult.
• I’d have to get a cello, where would I even get a cello?

But the truth is:

• You CAN do it, we will help make the dream come true
• It’s not as hard as you think, you just have to take the first step
• You can rent a cello from our partner, and have it delivered right to our studio, easy.

So what is stopping you?  Nothing!

Congratulations on deciding to pursue your dream of learning cello!  We are excited to meet you soon and help you achieve that goal.

Our large community of adult cello students is made up of:

• Adults who learned music as a child, and are ready to give it another try.
• Adults who want to learn to play cello while their children are taking music lessons.
• Working professionals who enjoy learning cello as a break from the hectic day-to-day.
• Retirees who have always wanted to learn cello, and now have the time to pursue their dream.
• Anyone with a love for music, who wants to experience the joy of creating music themselves

 What makes our approach to teaching adults different?

Most cello teachers have a couple of adult students here and there, and the truth is, they really don’t know what to do with them. Why? Because they don’t have the experience to understand just how different it is to teach adults than children.

Here, 25% of our weekly teaching load are adult students.

Which means that we understand:

• Adult students have different musical goals than children.
• Adult students want to understand the theory and how music is made.
• Adult students are often hesitant to learn because they feel like they can’t do it, or it’s too late:
  • But, we know that adult students CAN absolutely learn cello, it just takes the right approach and a teacher who knows how to:
    • Choose the right materials for your success
    • Introduce introductory material without it feeling childish
    • Communicate key concepts effectively so you will truly understand the music
    • Teach you how to practice effectively at home (a skill in itself that is often neglected in lessons)

Also, we know that adult students get MUCH more nervous when performing in recitals than children, which usually means that many choose not to perform at all, or they are the only adult in a recital full of children.

That’s why we have our informal Adult Recital Happy Hours, where our adult students can come together in a fun, casual atmosphere, and perform for each other without the pressure of a traditional recital.

Plus, we are located in the heart of Rancho Bernardo, right above Barons Market. You can pursue your dream of learning the cello, and get your shopping done in the same trip.
