The spirit of the Cello Dynamites cello course is based on a supportive mixed-age cello fraternity where cooperation with, and learning from each other, is paramount.
We aim to support teachers – and welcome engagement with them – by reinforcing and building on what they teach their students throughout the year. We are able to offer complementary and experienced teaching skills to a wide age range. We are an inclusive course for students aged 8-18 and Grades 3-8, welcoming both elite players who are aiming high, as well as those who love the cello but also have other passions and therefore less time to practise!
Places are going fast so please do book now to avoid disappointment.
