The Tennessee Cello Workshop hosts a half-day Suzuki cello program on Saturday. This one-day program is designed for beginning through intermediate Suzuki trained cellists ages 3 to 10. Participants can anticipate an enjoyable, educational, and motivating experience. Students who are playing standard cello literature, are eleven or older, or who have the endurance for the full three-day TCW schedule should consider registering for the entire TCW weekend. (Note: students entering any of the TCW cello competitions need to register for the full three-day TCW.)

- A private lesson in a small group setting (this is offered on a first come, first serve basis, for the first 30 paid registrants)
- Participation in group classes covering technique and repertoire
- Experience improvising
- A cello calisthenics session
- A group Suzuki recital performance at the end of the afternoon
- Admission to all TCW faculty, competition, and cello ensemble recitals
