Not So Mellow Cello

Today in assembly, our cello teacher, Jenny Chaddock, captivated the students with a fantastic performance and demonstration.

She introduced the rich, sonorous cello through a range of musical styles—from traditional folk melodies to rock. The session concluded with a thrilling rendition of the Star Wars theme, leaving the children excited and inspired.

Jenny also shared stories of her performances in prestigious venues, including the Houses of Parliament, for a former U.S. president, and the late Queen. The pupils were fascinated by the variety of cello sizes, from the adorable 1/8-size models for younger students to the impressive full-sized instruments.
