Why Join us?

Playing in an ensemble is a crucial aspect of a musician’s development yet many students miss out on opportunities to join a regular musical ensemble throughout their learning journey.

Being part of an ensemble or orchestra helps you to improve and grow as a musician in so many ways. You will learn to listen, blend and communicate musically with others. Melbourne Community Cellists offers students of all abilities a unique opportunity to experience the joys and challenges of ensemble playing with a group of fellow cellists. Being part of an ensemble will significantly boost your motivation and enthusiasm for practising and performing and give you an enhanced sense of commitment and responsibility towards learning and playing your part within your group. Students will also improve their essential skills like sight reading, intonation, rhythmic precision, and the ability to adapt to different musical styles.

We will hold a concert for parents and friends at the end of the year which will give students the chance to showcase their talents and build their confidence in front of an audience.

And most importantly,

Make lasting friendships and connect with cello peers from around Melbourne.
