The mission of the National Cello Institute is to inspire and promote excellence in cellists of all ages. Our annual programs include the National Cello Institute for a week during the summer and the Winter Suzuki Cello Workshop for one Saturday in February, and both prioritize a strong foundation in cello technique, ensemble playing, and active listening.
Our mission is to cultivate a vibrant and inclusive environment that embraces the community support aspects of the Suzuki philosophy, emphasizing fundamental techniques, ensemble playing, and active listening while engaging with musical material, instruction, mentorship, and live performance. As an institute that values community and connection, we unite a diverse group of cellists, encouraging mutual support and collective learning. Our vision extends beyond mere instruction, and through a variety of classes and optional sessions tailored to individual needs, we aim to instill a core appreciation for music and the cello, nurturing a lifelong passion for this extraordinary instrument.
