Resonance: A Multicultural Cello Method

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.
