Welcome to the cello studio at the University of Colorado Boulder College of Music!
An integral component of the College of Music, we are a studio of undergraduate and graduate cello students intensively studying the art of cello performance and pedagogy. The focus of the studio is primarily on private lessons, studio classes and technique classes, as well as outreach projects and cello ensemble. The majority of the cello studio are also active members of the CU chamber music program. All performance majors are members of the University Symphony Orchestra.
