    Since 2008, students of the cello studio at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) have focused their efforts on research and community outreach as an integral part of their usual academic studies. These activities have been of fundamental importance for nurturing cellists who have reached relevant academic positions and have been successful in the music scenario in Brazil and abroad. These activities include cello ensembles, master classes with guest artists and professors, introductory courses for cello and activities geared toward research. This paper presents a solution for the challenge of developing high-level performers by integrating daily practice with research and community outreach activities.
