At Cello-Sanct Shop & Studio, we believe that music and the arts feed our humanity. By serving our community through quality information and services, we hope to contribute to this mission - here's hoping we can make a difference.
Providing Reliable Information
In an era where information is everywhere, it can be hard to filter out that which is unreliable or doesn't have your best interest in mind. We prioritize delivering accurate and relevant information to our community. We strive to keep our audience informed about:
- Instrument Maintenance & Quality: Reliable information about instrument maintenance and quality is essential for musicians at all levels. By sharing expert tips and best practices, we help artists keep their instruments in top condition, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
- Pedagogy: Providing reliable information about pedagogy is crucial for educators and students alike, as it helps improve teaching strategies and learning outcomes. By sharing evidence-based methods and innovative approaches, we empower instructors to create engaging and effective learning environments.
- Artistic Happenings: We curate a calendar of events and other local happenings. We believe that we cannot expect the community to support us, if we don't support it. Let's support each other!
- Student Achievements: Our students become our family. You can count on us to share in their joy.
Offering Quality Services
Quality services go hand in hand with quality information. All of the instruments that pass through our doors are worked on by Master Luthier Arley Diaz. If we wouldn't play it, we won't sell it. In addition, we are committed to supporting our community through various initiatives:
- Appointment based: When you need us, let us know by making an appointment.
- Quality is our priority: As we said, all of the instruments that pass through our doors are worked on by Master Luthier Arley Diaz. We won't be happy until you're happy.
- Workshops: We are available to give workshop on instrument maintenance, tips for when you are ready to buy an instrument, as well as workshops related to pedagogy, or our personal artistic practices. On occasion, we will host events that connect students to local artists and industry professionals. These workshops provide valuable hands-on experience and networking opportunities. During summers, we host the Cello-Sanct Workshop, a project that predates the shop & studio.
- Resource Center: Cello-Sanct serves as a hub for students and their teachers to access instruments, practice spaces, and information. We aim to reduce barriers for students and teachers, ensuring they have the tools they need to succeed.
Building Community
A strong community thrives on connection. We foster relationships between students and students, students and artists, and artist and audiences:
- Group classes: Participants not only learn from instructors but also support and inspire one another, creating lasting connections. This collaborative environment encourages a sense of belonging and strengthens bonds among diverse individuals, enriching the community as a whole.
- Internships: Interns bring fresh perspectives while providing valuable support, fostering collaboration and mentorship. This synergy not only helps interns develop essential skills but also strengthens community ties, creating a vibrant ecosystem where everyone thrives.
Commitment to Inclusivity
We believe music is for everyone, and we strive to make our programs and services accessible to all. By focusing on inclusivity, we aim to represent diverse voices and backgrounds within our community.
- Family-Friendly Events: We ensure that our events are welcoming to all ages, fostering a sense of belonging and encouraging families to participate.
- Financial Assistance and Scholarships: We offer financial support through our pay-it-slow program. We believe in spending your money when it counts, which is why, when you rent an instrument from us, you can apply up to 75% of your rental payment towards the purchase of any instrument from us when you are ready. Studio members receive a 10% discount off of shop services and products for life.
At Cello-Sanct Shop & Studio, we are passionate about serving our community. By being a reliable resource, offering valuable services and information, we aim to empower you to feed your humanity!
Here is hoping we can help you find your best sound.
