Our Approach to Cello Lessons at Velocity Music Academy

Are you interested in cello lessons, either for you or your child? Great choice! We believe that instruction in the cello provides the best preparation for all other types of musical instruction. The cello is one of the most popular and needed instrument in many different musical environments, and it’s a fantastic hobby.

We fully acknowledge that each aspiring cellist is a unique individual. While it is true that everyone must begin in the same place, where you go from there is completely up to you. The flexible style of our instructors will foster your musical creativity, offering wisdom, and guiding your technique to levels of excellence. While the creative expression is strongly encouraged, we incorporate certain features across the board for all our students, especially in the beginning phases of instruction.

Frequently
Asked
Questions

What will I learn in my cello lessons?

Our cello teachers understand that every student is an individual, with personal musical needs and goals. We make it a priority to tailor lessons to the individual.
When you enroll, the first thing your teacher will do is ask about your favorite type of music. Together, students and teachers set goals to help accomplish musical aspirations. We love beginners, so even if you don’t know where to begin, we can help!
While children make up a good percentage of our student roster, we also love to work with adults. There is no such thing as being too old to learn to play the cello.
So, if you have the desire to learn, we have the desire to teach you— no matter your age.

Our cello teachers

Our teachers all hold university degrees in music, and structure private lessons around the student – working through repertoire from beginning to advanced levels.

Do I have to know how to read music?

No. Beginners are welcome! Our lesson plans aim to educate, engage and inspire students.

What age is the best to learn cello?

Children can begin studying string instruments at the age of 4. Many of our students participate in other orchestral opportunities in the greater Austin area.
