What are people saying?
Amy Jensen, 47 years old
“Cello festival is so much fun! I learned SO MUCH information and skills and new techniques. Also, if you’re worried about signing up because you’re a beginner, don’t be! I’m a beginner and it was wonderful. They have stuff for every level of learning.”
Elizabeth Damstrom, 73 years old
“I had a very positive experience. The instructors and support staff were most helpful and awesome. A lot of learning and new experiences occurred at the festival.”
Andrew Rail - Participant 14 years old
“Loved the festival. My son is a better cello player because of it. They were both kind and professional.”
April Merjil - Participants 10 & 15 years old
“The Rocky Mountain Cello Festival has been an incredible experience for both of my aspiring cellists. They learn unique skills from highly accomplished cellists in just a few short days. The instructors teach in a way that each student can understand and apply the skills being taught. I highly recommend anyone to enroll and attend this festival. Your cellist will gain confidence, make friends, and find a renewed enthusiasm to practice and play their instrument.”
