Master the Art of Playing the Cello with Expert Instruction
We recommend starting cello for ages four and up.
The cello instrument is also in the violin family and is essentially a very large version of the violin with a much deeper tone. Unlike the violin and viola, the tip of a cello (called the endpin) rests on the floor while it is played. The cello is the second-largest bowed string instrument in the modern symphony orchestra; the double bass being the largest. The cello is tuned to a much lower register than the violin or viola (one octave below the viola).
An important factor in starting cello lessons at a very young age is finding a small enough instrument. The smallest common cello size is typically 1/8, which would typically be suitable for a 4-5-year-old. Most adults will use a full-size cello.
Renting a cello (as opposed to purchase) is often a preferable option for parents of young children because as a child grows they will need to move into a bigger cello.
