Cello Lessons: Where Harmony Resonates

Personalized Guidance

At the London School of Art, we believe in the power of individualized learning. Our cello lessons pair you with dedicated tutors who breathe life into this majestic instrument. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced cellist, we’ll tailor our approach to your unique musical path.

The Cello Symphony

For Joy or Graded Triumph: Choose your adventure. Cello lessons can be a delightful exploration or a stepping stone to ABRSM-graded exams. Our syllabus embraces both.

ABRSM Exams: Unlock your potential. Cello exams encompass three pieces (carefully selected from the syllabus), scales, arpeggios, sight-reading, and aural tests. Strive for distinction—the hallmark of excellence.

Parental Partnership

Practice Makes Progress: Grade exams demand commitment. Regular practice is your secret weapon, and parental encouragement fuels the journey. Just 20 minutes, four times a week—it’s the magic formula.

Balancing Act: While exams matter, we cherish holistic growth. We don’t rush students; instead, we build secure musical foundations. Quality prevails over shortcuts.

Prelude to Mastery: Preliminary Grade

Musical Alchemy: Our Preliminary Grade sets the stage. Explore pitch, rhythm, controlled playing, accuracy, and tone quality. It’s where dreams take flight.

Grades 1 to 8: Your Sonata Unfolds

Diverse Repertoire: As you ascend, embrace the challenge. Standard-graded exams feature three pieces from each of the lists A, B, and C. Your cello sings across genres.

Beyond Performance: Scales, arpeggios, sight-reading, and aural tests complete the canvas. Each grade adds depth to your musical palette.
