Welcome to Cello Choir II 2025!
Welcome Cello Choir 2 students and families,
We will meet from 11:15 to 12:15 in 102. Please arrive 5 minutes before to unpack and place the cello next to you while we tune one by one.

We will be reinforcing a healthy fundamental skill set. Cello playing requires a combination of physical dexterity, mental discipline, and a nuanced musical understanding.
Bowing technique
- Bow Hold: Hold the bow gently with a bent thumb against the frog, curved and relaxed fingers, using the index finger to apply pressure and the pinky finger to balance the bow.
- Arm Movement: Focus on smooth, controlled movements from the shoulder, elbow, and wrist, avoiding tension.
Periodically we will sight-read. Also, we will strengthen music reading and become familiar on shifting to from and to first, second, third and fourth positions. We will expand the scope of your cello playing technique with two octave scales, major and minor keys.
