Cello Club Events

How do we make practice fun and effective? Join us and learn warm ups to get you playing at your peak, strategies for scale success, technique building games and a brand new piece written for the occasion by Thomas Gregory.

This workshop will include a pre-recorded session, and the opportunity to join together on Zoom at the end of the session, when participants can ask Josh and Thomas any questions on the materials covered. Music for the new piece will be made available for participants to practice before the event.
