Cello Retreat Activities

Technique

Start each day with a technique class, focused on improving tone quality and tools for expressive playing.

Master Class

Perform solo rep for instruction and peer feedback. Prepare a solo piece to perform on Aug 8.

Cello Choir

Stand in for instruments high and low. Stretch your boundaries. We’re played Shostakovich string quartet NO. 8, Herbie Hancokc, Bach to Brahms to Dvorak to Sibelius.

Improv

Learn the discipline to be free. Master rhythm patterns, harmonic progression and how to carry on a musical “conversation” in real time. Peter Sumner from Berklee
