Every Sunday evening, our community of dedicated non-professional adult cellists convenes to engage in the rigorous practice and performance of music. As part of our ongoing development, the cello group is presently expanding into a larger ensemble, incorporating "guest" professional cellists into our rehearsals. This integration enhances our technical proficiency and elevates the sonic depth, resulting in a robust and resonant cello sound that exemplifies the instrument's tonal capabilities.

In our technique classes, we undertake a meticulous examination of Professor Hans Jensen’s CelloMind and Janos Starker’s An Organized Method of String Playing for Cello. These seminal works provide an in-depth exploration of cello technique, offering sophisticated frameworks for intonation, bowing precision, and left-hand dexterity. Their structured methodologies yield measurable improvements in execution and artistry, fostering a disciplined approach to mastery.

Additionally, the Cello Academy facilitates a performance class, held monthly, where students refine their solo repertoire through collaboration with a piano accompanist. This setting provides a formal platform to hone interpretive skills and technical control, further enriching our musicianship.

At Fried Music, we encourage adults of all levels to participate in chamber music and group ensembles, as the satisfaction of engaging with some of the most profound repertoire is the engine behind one’s commitment to music.
