A Learning Resource for Cellists

The Cello Guild offers online courses for cellists, as well as a few suitable for other musicians and non-musician cello-lovers. Coming soon: a library of materials and a shop with sheet music, books, cello accessories, and gifts.

The Cello Guild is for cello students of all ages and levels who want to augment their regular studies. Amateur and professional cellists can discover supplemental resources to help them reach the next level. New classes added regularly.

When I started learning the cello, I fell in love with the instrument because it seemed like a voice - my voice.
