CELLO

Recommended for adults and children from age 7

SMS provides exceptional quality stringed instrument tuition for both adults and children across Sussex.
Whatever your age lessons on a stringed instrument will bring the player a sense of enjoyment, achievement and well-being.
Many adults are returning to strings as a way of relaxing after a busy day. There are many opportunities to join local ensembles and orchestras too, making it a social activity. Playing a piece by Mozart or a folk tune you love can slow the heart rate, eliminate stress and give great personal pleasure.
Children love playing stringed instruments because of the wide range of pieces and styles available and also the myriad of opportunities there are to play and perform with others. Just about every pop band, folk group and classical ensemble includes stringed instruments so you are always in demand! There is great opportunity for improvisation and composing as well as a huge classical repertoire to master. Learning a stringed instrument can begin as young as 4 years old and can enhance skills in mathematics, memory, concentration, resilience and creativity. Our teachers will advise on what type of instrument is best for your needs if you need to purchase one.
SMS teachers bring out the creative side of their students and will design a study programme based on each individual pupil’s needs – there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach or ‘method’. Practise books and concert opportunities for those who want them, will be provided.
