Frequently Asked Questions

Can you actually learn cello online? Are online lessons legit?

Some students and parents initially have hesitations about online cello lessons, but they come to love the experience as they get to know the teacher and the lessons.

If you’re looking for flexible scheduling and affordability, online cello lessons could be a great choice. Our 1-on-1 cello lessons are designed to be just as effective as in-person lessons because our cello teachers are professionals.

Through online learning, you have the convenience of learning the cello from your own home at your pace, all while enjoying a valuable human connection. When choosing a cello lesson, make sure to check the instructor’s quality, the level of personalized guidance, and reasonable pricing

Why take cello lessons at Lesson With You?

Unlike other websites where cello instructors may teach multiple instruments like violin or piano, our teachers specialize in teaching the cello ONLY. We believe that students should get high-quality lessons led by instructors with extensive knowledge and official college degrees in cello from top music schools.

Many lesson platforms provide teachers who hold certificates, but it’s important to understand the difference between certificates and college degrees. We strongly recommend learning the cello from teachers with college degrees in cello for a more comprehensive and enriching educational experience.

How much do cello lessons cost?

The average price for a half hour cello lesson is $38, but Lesson With You charges only $35. According to our recent lesson cost guide, online cello lessons using video chats typically charge $40 for a half hour lesson. Local in-person lessons range from $30 to $50 for a half hour lesson.

At Lesson With You, we offer competitive, fixed rates of $35 for a half hour lesson, $50 for 45 minutes, and $65 per hour.

Should online cello lessons be cheaper than in-person lessons?

Yes! In most cases, online cello lessons are about 10 to 15% cheaper than in-person lessons. This is because online lessons don’t have the extra costs of maintaining a physical studio. Plus, both teachers and students can save on travel expenses and time.

However, keep in mind that lesson prices can vary, so it’s a good idea to check different options and find the one that offers the best value for the quality of cello teaching you’re looking for.

How often should I practice cello?

The frequency and duration of your cello practice depend on factors such as age, ability, current skill level, and music goals.

Typically, it takes several years of consistent and effective practice to develop a solid foundation in strings. Repeating certain exercises during your practice is important for both short-term and long-term improvement. Try to build muscle memory by practicing phrases or melodies repeatedly.

If you’re just starting cello, practicing for around 15 minutes a day is a great way to begin. However, if you aim to progress quickly and perform in competitions, you’ll need to invest more time and gain additional experience in performing.

What type of seat do I need for cello lessons?

Choose a sturdy and adjustable chair without armrests, so you can keep an upright posture. Make sure your feet are flat on the floor, and your knees are at a right angle. Use a cushion or cello endpin anchor to prevent slipping. 

If you need help, discuss with your cello instructor, who can offer personalized guidance based on your individual needs and preferences.

What size cello is appropriate for a child?

For children learning cello, sizes range from 1/10 to full. Measure from the neck base to the tip of the outstretched arm to find their size. Smaller cellos help with ease of playing and posture.

We highly encourage you to discuss with a cello teacher or a music store manager for the perfect size that supports your child’s comfort and effective learning.

What size cello is appropriate for an adult?

Adult cello learners should consider a full-size instrument. Measure from the neck base to the tip of the outstretched arm for a comfortable fit.

Unlike violins and violas, cellos come in fewer size variations. A full-size cello is the standard for most adult players. If you aren’t sure, discuss with your cello teacher or a music store professional to find the ideal cello size for you.

How do I ensure good sound quality during online cello lessons?

To ensure great sound quality during online cello lessons, follow these steps:

  • Test internet connection, make sure it’s above 5 Mbps
  • Test audio and video settings
  • Use a high-quality external microphone
  • Adjust specific settings for the video chat platform
  • Position your webcam and instrument correctly

At our music school, we use Zoom as our live lesson platform, which requires optimal sound setting for successful lessons. If you need help, please contact our support line.
