Cello Fun Fest Ms. Stephanie's first annual Cello Fun Fest in Miami, August 2021! My name is Stephanie Jaimes but my students know me as "Ms. Stephanie."

I'm a Cellist & Teaching artist based in South Florida and this year I'm hosting the first annual Cello Fun Fest in Miami, Summer 2021! This will be an in-person Cello Intensive Program for a group of dedicated cello students from all over South Florida, focusing on Technique, Chamber Music, Music Theory, Contemporary Musical Styles, and much more. There will be two levels based on age & experienc

e:

Level 1 is for students who have less than 2 years on the cello, intended for students in grade 5 or younger. Level 2 is for students who have more than 2 years on the cello, intended for students in grade 6 and higher.

*If you are not a cellist but want to participate in the Cello Fun Fest, you are more than welcomed. We are looking for string players with an interest in chamber music and exploring classical and non-classical repertoire. More Info at:

“Dance Monkey” arranged by Ms. Stephanie for our all cello ensemble ❤️🎻

These are our level 2 students who attended the Cello Fun Fest program from August 9 - 13 and learned this repertoire in less than 1 week. I’m incredibly impressed with our students and amazed at how quickly they learned all the repertoire for our concert.

Enjoy this clip from our August 13th performance 🎉
