Cellos produce a bright and warm sound, that is often considered to be closest to the range of the human voice. Its extensive range means that cellists often play both the harmony and melody. It is the only instrument in our orchestra that must be played while sitting down.

Despite its relatively large size, even the smallest students can easily handle the cello with proper instruction. Cello players do not have to carry their instruments home every night. Instead, they will be an issued an instrument to take home and leave home for practice and they will play on another cello at school that remains at school.
