CELLYMPICS & THE BASSOFF EVENTS
May 2022
Inspired by one of my Teacher Trainers, Andrea Yun, Cellympics & The Bassoff are a series of events based on cello/bass hand, bow hand, posture, ad musical techniques. The competition is relaxed and friendly. Judges and Cellympics/The Bassoff specialists will be around to help you succeed and have fun! Events will be reviewed in lessons and group classes.
