Melanie Dawn Jones - Cello Unaccompanied Cello for all Special Occasions

Thank you for visiting my page. I am a professional cellist based in Tain and perform for all special occasions. As well as performing I have been teaching the cello and piano for roughly 20 years, and have experience of working with students of varied ages from 4 years old. Since lock-down, I have also been composing, focusing mostly on music for children. Last year I launched my online course, which I created for beginners wanting to learn the 'Cello.

Regarding performing, I have played for a lot of special events in both the UK and the USA. The majority of the repertoire I perform has been arranged for Solo 'Cello by myself. The 'Cello is a unique, emotional and powerful instrument. It's quality of sound, range of notes, diversity, and romantic characteristics will make your special day feel complete.

The repertoire I perform spans from the Baroque to the Contemporary. I am constantly expanding my repertoire, and therefore happy to arrange a specific song you would like performed.
