During the week, cellists will be introduced to Celtic fiddling on the cello - yes, you really can fiddle on the cello! The week will also include ensemble playing, with other cellists and, towards the end of the week, with the Celtic fiddle group. 

We will be learning a selection of Celtic melodies and will focus on: 
• relaxation techniques 
• technique review and development
• warm up exercises 
• easy, efficient practice techniques 
• tone and colour 

 Solo Cello objectives:

Participants will need to bring their own cello.
