What is “chop training & workout”?
We’re talking about using chop in exciting rhythmic patterns that express chords and groove all at once. A workout is a practice routine aimed at deepening, strengthening, and clarifying your skillset.
What if I don’t know ANYTHING about chopping?
Join us! We’ll give you a quick intro training and tell you all about our courses and classes so you can jump into our in-depth training whenever you’re ready! Plus the workshop will give you lots of value outside of chop skills.
‘Groove Cello’ vs ‘Creative Cello’
Groove cello - the stuff we train for in the Academy - is a subset of what we’ve all come to call “creative cello.” In groove cello, we’re playing in the rhythm section - harmony & chords, rhythm & percussion, arranging, accompanying, jamming. We’re building texture and structure around the tune. And yes, occasionally taking a solo.
