Cello lessons at the Academy are offered to students of all ages and levels; beginner through advanced.  Both traditional and Suzuki methods are used to achieve excellent musicianship.  Students develop practice and performance skills through lessons in music reading, listening, interpretation, and goal setting and are encouraged to participate in recitals and ensemble opportunities at the Academy.

St. Peter’s Community Arts Academy has a collaborative relationship with Stringed Instrument Services in Fairport, NY for affordable pricing to rent a cello in the appropriate size for the student.

Please contact Brian Donat, at for placement and scheduling instructions before you enroll in a cello lesson.
