It works because I “flip” the way in which you learn.
Taking cello lessons online changes the way you learn the cello, allowing students to learn in a “Flipped Classroom” environment. The student can log into the website and view over 400 recorded lessons in beautiful widescreen format.
The “Flipped Classroom” is a new model in education that is made easy and convenient with the Internet. The model offers an alternative method to the traditional model of learning, which has led to increasingly poor educational outcomes in America. With this new model, instead of being lectured by your instructor or teacher and then sent off to do homework, the model is “flipped,” and the student views pre-recorded lectures at their own speed. This better prepares them to interact with the teacher during live time together. At www.oronadesign.info/olga we are applying this model to the learning of the cello and seeing great results.

FAQ
frequently Asked Questions
My online program is designed for beginner students to advance.
Age will play a major role in helping you determine the best cello size for your needs. The smallest cello size ⅒ is appropriate for children ages four to six years. For older children, add a year or so to the baseline age for each subsequent size of the cello: the ⅛ cello is appropriate for children ages five to seven, the ¼ for kids ages seven to nine, the 3/4 ideal for kids age of 10 and up.The 4/4 works for teenagers 15 years old and for most adults.
If you looking to upgrade strings, here are some examples. For the A and D strings, I recommend Larsen (A medium, D Strong/Solo). For the G and C strings, I recommend Spirocore both Strong/Solo.
Suzuki books. 170 Foundation Studies for Violoncello V.1.
