More faculty announced soon (or get a sneak peek on the website!)

Cello Lab is now an official nonprofit organization! This means we are ready to expand our offerings and grow to cities beyond Miami and that anyone can give a tax-free donation. We are excited for this next step in our growth! We will announce it soon, but where do you think we are setting up our first event outside of Miami?

Mark your calendars!! Cello Lab Miami is happening on Saturday, February 3, 2024, and we will be announcing our fabulous guest artist next week. You won’t want to miss this.

More photos and videos coming, but for now, look at this incredible group who worked hard, helped each other, and brought wonderful energy to our event yesterday! The music was challenging (might ease up a bit for next time) and the day was intense, but I am so proud of everyone who was there. Congratulations on a successful day, and keep your eye here for more about our adventure yesterday!

Successful Artist Faculty concert! With music including Debussy, Philip Glass, and a piece written by German Marcano himself, we had a wonderful smorgasbord of auditory delights! Can’t wait for the ensembles and masterclasses tomorrow.

Huge thanks to New World School of the Arts, Miami String House, Larsen Strings, Santol Studios, and Leatherwood Rosin for being part of this event!

We are so thrilled for our Artist Faculty cellists who will be part of our event this weekend!

Wendy Sutter is an internationally acclaimed soloist and all-around cellist for whom Philip Glass wrote his solo pieces.

Germán Marcano is a worldwide performer and teacher who co-created the Sphinx Catalog of Latin-American Cello Works.

Dr. Bryan Hayslett is our director and the cello professor at New World School of the Arts.

This is just a tiny window into what these cellists do, so check out their full bios on our website!

It’s been a while, but we’re back to posting! Stay tuned for details for this year’s main Cello Lab Miami event on Feb 4, 2023!

For now, here’s a warmup book created by our director Dr. Bryan Hayslett. All of his NWSA students received a copy, and it guides through daily scales, exercises, warmups, and technical activities. All of his students are also aiming to go through all the major and minor scales by the end of the school year! Wish them luck!

Hands down the best rockstops I have ever used are made by who has donated 5 of them to be raffled to our participants on Saturday! We have one in the NWSA cello studio for everyone to use during lessons, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Check out the Etsy shop and get one for yourself!

The folks at have donated a rosin consultation and a free cake of bespoke rosin that one of our participants will win on Saturday! Check them out!

Our sponsors have donated an incredible array of raffle prizes for the Cello Lab Miami participants. and have donated a set of Il Cannone and a set of Aurora to be raffled on Saturday! And, our participants receive 25% off any Larsen strings they want to purchase!

Check out all of our amazing faculty! Register (for free!) to work with and perform with us.
