Cello student Alvaro Rios takes a lesson from teacher Ashly Diaz during the Bravo Buddies summer camp. Alvaro Rios is a student at Cooke Magnet Elementary School in Waukegan who plays the cello. He says the instrument is capable of taking him on journeys far away from his hometown.
Michael Rodriguez, the lead teacher for Bravo Buddies who teaches band at Robert Abbott Middle School during the school year, said students get two 45-minute lessons a week on their instrument of choice, and enrichment on Fridays which includes field trips. With the number of instruments played by the campers, forming an orchestra or a band is not a problem. Jessica Linares, the camp director, said strings, woodwinds and brass are all represented.
“I thought maybe the cello was something to try,” he said. “I wanted to play harmony with something, and the cello was it. I like the places music takes me.”
