About Our Cello Lessons

Learn Cello

Cello lessons at Capen Music cover orchestral and solo repertoire, technique and music reading across all levels.

Lessons are one-to-one and follow ABRSM and Trinity syllabuses. Like violin, cello comes in smaller sizes for younger players, making it suitable for children from around 4 to 5 years old.

Students of all ages are welcome. Adults who have never played a string instrument before can absolutely start here.
