Cello lessons.
The cello has a warm, deep sound that comes very close to the human voice. In cello lessons at Music Campus Berlin you learn bowing, clean intonation and playing in the first positions step by step. Because the cello has no frets, it trains your ear from the very beginning, and with every lesson your tone becomes rounder and more secure.
Whether a Bach suite, film music or a pop song, the cello fits almost any music and sounds just as beautiful on its own as in an ensemble. Children often start on smaller three-quarter or half-size instruments, adults begin straight away on a full-size cello. In cello lessons in Berlin we accompany beginners and advanced players on the way to their own sound.
No frets.
Just your ear.
The cello has no frets either: exactly where your finger lands decides the note. Press on a string and hold it. The bow plays by itself. The tuner shows you how close you are. Can you manage “Ode to Joy” on the A string?
Try it first,
then decide.
At Music Campus Berlin you can book a trial lesson with no strings attached. That way you get to know the lessons, our teachers and the atmosphere at your own pace before deciding on regular lessons. What matters to us is that you feel at home and that the lessons fit your personal goals.
