Resonance

About:

Resonance: A Multicultural Cello Method is a pedagogical approach to

learning the cello using music that has contributed to American culture. We

have included pieces and musical elements from a variety of backgrounds,

cultures, and time periods with the goal of creating relevancy and belonging

for anyone wanting to learn the instrument. Through this method, students

learn to play the cello using music that is representative of themselves, their

heritage, and the cultures around them. We aim to instill foundational cello

techniques while also offering this method as a stepping stone towards

achieving greater musical inclusivity.
