Just click on the Green Print and go to CelloChanChat, the cellochan blog! It is a place for cellochan students and others to share comments and enjoy exploring new ways to think about the art of cello playing. The cellochan philosophy maintains that all facets of a student need careful attention if the best results are to be achieved. Relaxation, meditation, peer support, and a foundation of self acceptance make a huge difference in the overall level reached in playing. Music, Mind, and Body are essentially one. We welcome you to the discussion.
WELL BEING AND THE ARTS GO CAMPING:
Recently the AARP named Ann Arbor the healthiest city in the US. Gary Gossein, of the Michigan Business Review wrote, "We've been talking with a lot of state organizations, and a
lot of cities are trying to aspire to what Ann Arbor offers," said Amanda Cyr, project manager for the University of Michigan Health Management Research Center.....wellness, she explained, is looking at the whole person, and applying healthy lifestyle concepts, rather than the traditional models of treating each individual illness as separate from the person." http://www.mlive.com/businessreview/annarbor/index.ssf/2008/07/ann_arbor_named_healthiest_cit.html

Announcing: CelloChanWoods 2008-06-16
From cellochan:
A cello retreat style music camp "Well being & the Arts"
July 15, 16, & 17, 2008
Final deadline for enrollment is July 3, 2008
CelloChanWoods is a unique retreat style music camp designed to help musicians achieve a deeper sense of well-being, improved concentration skills, ease of playing, and meaningful community with other musicians. Playing the cello involves all facets of a person: physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. From one perspective, music is a kind of language of the self. Finding our musical "voice" can open us up to greater levels of awareness and personal satisfaction. Campers will learn gentle beginning meditation, receive daily Trager*/ relaxation sessions and benefit from supervised cello practice sessions. Students will also participate in the CCW cello orchestra and daily master classes led by Suzanne. This important work will be balanced with ample time during the day for fun, camaraderie, and supervised outdoor activities.
