The Celtic Cello Club
with Clíodhna Ní Aodáin
Do you love the cello? Do you love Celtic music? Would you like to build a new repertoire of tunes that everyone will love? Would you like to transform your approach to playing the cello and find ease in your playing? The Celtic Cello Club is for you!
One of the best parts of being in The Celtic Cello Club is that YOU are part of the creative process. Your questions, your input, my teaching, our interaction all contribute to this being a unique tailored experience.
I believe in the healing power of Celtic music. These tunes have been around for hundreds of years, passed down from one generation to the next. There is a magic in these tunes. When you play this music you will feel your soul resonate with a wisdom from another time.
If you play the cello you are so lucky. I believe that playing the cello is one of the best things you can do for your nervous system. Even playing simple long open strings has a calming effect. The vibrations of the cello can be felt in the whole body.
Combining playing the cello with Celtic music is a match made in heaven. The cello lends itself so beautifully to these heartfelt melodies from another era. This is the joy and beauty you can create in your life every day.

Your videos beautifully communicate a teaching style I admire and resonate with. Somatic and easeful, inspiring the joy of learning... engaging awareness, commitment and trust.

The Celtic Cello Club introduced me to some Irish tunes that will inspire my cello playing for months and years to come.

The way you lead these workshops is delightful, engages the players at the level of a deep musical connection, and makes everyone feel alright.

I'm enjoying very much the Celtic Cello Club, the music and the other cellists. It's been very good for me in a lot of ways. I'm learning a lot of new music, about how to improve my playing and love that I'm learning to improvise and the accompanying music!

The sheet music and videos you receive will always have a version in the first position that is suitable for beginners. If you are comfortable with playing in the first position you are welcome to join. As well as your three tunes a month, you will also get cello technique and practice tips to improve your all-round playing: posture, sound, intonation etc.
I will be catering to all levels: Beginners will get the basic tunes and cello tips. Intermediates will also pick up some ornamentation and rhythmic changes. Advanced players will also try alternative fingers and bowings with added chords. Professionals will get ideas for teaching as well as a new repertoire for performances.
You can cancel your subscription any time.
Of course! Trouble-shooting technical cello issues is one of my favourite things to do! After 30 years of professional performance and teaching experience I really know what works!
