Last Friday, we welcomed Thomas Zwieg and Andrew Glasser to our Boston Showroom for a cello-specific @larsenstrings event. Thomas, the VP of Product Development at Larsen, worked one-on-one with clients to find the best string setup for their cellos. The event was a unique opportunity for our clients to test and take home the new Sovereign string set in advance of its mid-May release. Follow @johnsonstring to make sure you donāt miss out when Sovereign becomes available!

Traveling as a cellist definitely comes with its quirksābut the right essentials make all the difference! āļøš» From fresh strings and rosin to my go-to rockstop and practice mute, these little tools keep everything running smoothly on the road. Iāve partnered with @johnsonstring to share a curated page of my must-havesāand you can get 15% off all items on their site using my code āSYDNEY15ā too! š« Check out the link in my bio to shop my favoritesā

Due to winter weather and safety concerns, we have made the difficult decision to postpone this weekendās Winter Gala.
The safety of our students, supporters, and staff is always our top priority.
We are actively working to reschedule the event for early spring and will share updated details soon. Thank you for your understanding, flexibility, and continued support of our mission.
We plan to honor all original tickets at the rescheduled event. If you would prefer a refund, please email [email protected].

the technique routine i typically give to intermediate students š«¶š»āØ
š if a student is ready to add double stops into their routine, we usually start by adding C major sixths (we learn the first octave, then add the second octave once that is comfortable)
š some of my students only play Position Pieces or only work on a Schroeder etude⦠just depends on what we are targeting with our etude! Position Pieces are great for working on shifting and getting comfortable in new positions. Schroeder can be great for a multitude of other things such as bow planning, rhythm, articulation, etc.
