Bring your cello to life, and play in a whole new way.

Ever struggled with tension and stilted movements while playing the cello, resulting in less of yourself coming through in your playing? You might wonder if there’s a way to break free.

There is. World-renowned pedagogue Amit Peled reveals it through his “Ten Cello Commandments.” Learn how to align the cello with your full humanity: from breathing and the way your body supports your movement, to walking, talking, and even singing. Follow this “way of life” to unleash your own expressive power and poetic artistry.

  • Discover how high-level cello playing relates to being in tune with everyday human actions.

  • Learn the essential role of free movement, and how to anticipate and properly support each one.

  • See how natural it is to create beauty and flow by “telling” your body what to do and letting it follow.

Amit Peled

Pioneering Israeli cellist Amit Peled has earned international acclaim for his contributions to modern cello artistry and pedagogy. He is equally at home on the stages of Carnegie Hall, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, London's Wigmore Hall, and the Konzerthaus Berlin as he is at the Peabody Institute, where he has held a professorship since 2003.

Aside from being an accomplished recording artist, now represented internationally by CTM Classics, Peled is the founder of two unique, groups that prove his dedication as a teacher: the nationally-touring Amit Peled Cello Gang, comprised of his Peabody Institute students, and the Mount Vernon Virtuosi, a chamber orchestra built to help graduates launch their careers.
