Graduate teacher and concertist (from the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Kiev and Master Degree of the F. Liszt Academy of Budapest), I propose to share with you my international experience as well as my passion and enthusiasm for music and music culture in general. After many years spent in symphony and chamber orchestras, I decided to devote a part of my time to teaching and has been teaching for several years in conservatories, schools of music and in the private sector. Relaxed and demanding at the same time, I will help you express the best of yourself. Course description: Modular courses according to the expectations and level of each student (fun and uninhibited approach or very demanding training in the greatest tradition of Russian and international education). For novices / beginners: it is imperative to start on a good basis, by acquiring from the start the reflexes to quickly produce a beautiful sound and have fun to master this beautiful instrument. Classes can be combined with learning music theory. For intermediate to advanced levels as well as for conservatoire students: I can bring you a methodology and advice on technical and musical plans, help you expand your repertoire, prepare you for concerts or auditions. These courses can be given in parallel to the teaching of a senior teacher. Location: I'm traveling in Geneva and its surroundings. The courses may, therefore, be held at your home or any other place of your choice or at my home in Versoix. The first lesson / meeting is an opportunity to establish a contact, to talk about your goals and expectations, to explain my work method as well as to discuss a lesson plan. This will allow you to make an informed decision later on. The schedules are flexible according to the expectations and the possibilities of the pupil. Age : All ages: child (from 5 years old), teenager, adult and senior. Languages: French, English, Russian, Ukrainian. Further information : Need for the student to own a cello except for the first lesson where an instrument can be made available. Alexander
