Cello the other way (pop, rock, movie music)
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Music is a kind of magic.Too often we approach classical instruments, such as cello, in too conservative a way. We immediately picture musicians in funny clothes with white wigs. Or men dressed like penguins and women in funeral black. Music is much more than that. It's fun and I'll show you.
Music is so much more than boring exercises. First of all, it's about having fun and playing what YOU want. Movie Music, pop / rock songs, etc.
In addition, music can help develop important skills such as creativity, collaboration, decision-making, sense of responsibility and many others.
Everything is possible on the cello. Let's find out together!

Gala's approach is pragmatic and I like that. During the first lesson, after being introduced to the cello, some theory first. And soon I was allowed to play with practical pointers from Gala. At the end Gala also played along and that was really fun.

My first set of lessons were really great and I will definitely take more.
I came in as a beginner and in every lesson Gala helped me make meaningful progress step by step.
She is also very encouraging, motivating and playful during the lessons.
Even if at times you just practice fundamental motions without using note sheets, if she's not actively giving feedback she will improvise to play along with you.
Learning and playing with her always ends up being fun.
I just started as a total beginner and had a great first lesson with Gala. She is very well prepared and organised and explains clearly. She doesn't only have the passion for cello but also for teaching. Thank you!
It is a joy having cello lessons from Gala.
Besides teaching how to play it, she knows a lot about cognitive skills and how to use them for playing an instrument.
Always sharing her responses on questions and patient with learning pace.
She is flexible on circumstances such as day&time and location of lessons.
Highly recommended!
Excellent teacher, gala understands everything I ask, even if I don't know how to describe the problem properly :) would definitely recommend
...
Cello is fun and joy. Alternative approach. Learning to master the instrument doesn't have to be boring. Lessons include music games to understand theory and instrument's possibilities.
Play your favourite pop/rock songs.
Let's have fun :)

Andrea
Classical and modern cello classes in BarcelonaHello! I have been teaching classes continuously for more than 10 years and I would like to explain what you can find in a class with me!
- To begin with, the most important thing is to know what you want to achieve. I would like to focus the classes according to what you need. For example, we will not put the same level of demand if you want to play for pleasure at home without haste or if you want to do some entrance exams to musical studies (although always with the same good rigor). The needs of each student can vary the methodology, the way of organizing the study sessions, the postural work, the repertoire...
- Once we know what we want to achieve and by when, classes will begin in a relaxed atmosphere. Important! Relaxed is not equal to undemanding or rigorous, just that we will try not to resort to military methods, especially given my character and sense of humor ;).
- Something important to note is that my methods are very dynamic and with special emphasis on the development of the ear and musicality. No reading, spitting and changing songs. I try to avoid methods that focus too much on the continuous reading of scores without memorizing, listening or understanding what is being done and why, especially so that later you can make your own aesthetic decisions and feel ownership of your performance. Alert! Maybe I'll even make you sing.
- Last but not least, it should be noted that given my training (I studied classical music and modern music and jazz at the Taller de Músics) my tendency will be to give the same importance to different types of music. We will adapt to your tastes and needs, but for me we can go from baroque to blues, from blues to Haydn's sonatas, from Haydn to bebop and from bebop to Michael Jackson. Why not?
If you like what you have read, do not hesitate to contact me. Learning to play the cello is a pleasure and I would love to share it with you!
Sergio
Higher Graduate (with masters) in Cello and Conducting teaches music at all levelsMy teaching method is scrupulously adapted to each student I have, regardless of the subject to work on (musical language, cello, music history, analysis, conducting, etc.)
I always apply the Belgian teaching model, where I trained with my master's degrees in Conducting (Antwerp) and Historical Cello (Brussels). According to this model, the main thing is a living and practical teaching, taking understanding and not memory as the main learning engine.
Henry
Private music tutoring, piano, cello or music theoryHi there! My name is Henry and I'm an instrumental and theory teacher based in Manchester. I graduated from the University of Manchester in 2022 in music, specialising in cello performance and theory/analysis, with piano as a second study. I am able to cater my teaching to all ages and abilities, and if you have a particular genre you would like to learn, please feel free to drop me a message and I'm sure I will be able to narrow our focus! The genres I play the most are classical, jazz and pop but I encounter a broad range of music in my playing and teaching. Available online or in person

Anna
Playing the cello makes you beautiful both inside and outside!Hello, my name is Anna, and I’ve been playing the cello for 22 years. I have a masters degree both in performative arts and teaching cello from the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, Hungary. I have acquired a wide range of tools to inspire my pupils individually in their step-by-step development. I teach learners of all ages and levels, my students are 5-60 years old, from beginner to advanced.
When I was 15, my cello teacher asked me to teach her younger pupils. I was enthusiastic of teaching, and I still have the same enthusiasm, but much more knowledge and experience.
Playing the cello makes you beautiful both inside and outside! While playing the cello, I pay attention to the music, my technique, my body and my emotions. I focus on the same aspects while teaching, so we will improve your musical and technical abilities, as well as your awareness of your own body and emotions. These can (and should) be improved regardless of age and level so if you're interested, sign up for my cello lessons!
Philip
Enthusiastic, personable and award-winning cellist to guide you on your journey. I am skilled at teaching people of all ages!My passion for your enjoyment and improvement is genuine! I'm a highly trained, long-time professional with hundreds of private students over the years and scores of appearances as an invited teacher. I look forward to your lesson to discuss your wishes and next steps on your cello journey!
I have two solo discs online: the Suites of J S Bach for Solo Cello and "Bragatissimo" (tango). I'm featured in solo performances on YouTube and other platforms. My master's degree in cello is from a top US music conservatory, and I was for decades exclusively in the role of Principal Cellist with outstanding, well-known orchestras that made dozens of recordings and international tours.

Cello lessons, solfège and / or music theory for all agesDo you think cello is a beautiful instrument and would you like to get to know this instrument? Or have you taken cello lessons for several years and would you like to learn new things, improve your basic technique or get to know new music? Or would you like to learn to read notes, learn more about different keys and the history of music? I can certainly help you with that! Music was brought up to me and, with my master's degree in my pocket, I have the necessary knowledge and experience to accompany you at your own pace in your musical journey.
I specialize in cello, but I can also help you with solfège and music theory. If you would like to focus on one of the above courses, please do not hesitate to contact me. I would be happy to guide you at your own pace!
Joseph
Cello with a very friendly professional; all ages, all stages!You're in good hands! As a professional cellist for 14 years now, including as a member of major European and Australian opera and philharmonic orchestras, I welcome all students, from those picking up the instrument for the first time to those preparing for professional auditions.
My primary aim in teaching is to create an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect in which students can draw motivation to set and accomplish their goals, with my full commitment towards helping them achieve those. Getting the foundations of good playing and good musicianship right is of course a very close and no less important second!
During their journey, students can count on my patience, understanding and sympathy to help them through all challenges. I tailor my teaching style to fit all students based on their individual needs and wishes, or those of their parents if they're too young to decide for themselves.
I'm determined to break the stereotype of teachers being failed performers and teach not only by demonstration, but by playing with students as an accompanist or duet partner, even with absolute beginners.
If you're not sure exactly what you want out of lessons, or aren't sure where to begin, let's discuss and determine that together!
Lessons take place at my place in Carré.

My name is Miriam, I am a graduate in Master of Classical Music at KASK & Conservatorium in Ghent and currently I am studying a Posgraduate in Musical Performance Practice.
I've been teaching cello to children, teenagers and adults for 8 years, so I've acquired the necessary experience to be able to adapt to the different and personal needs and objectives of each student. My teaching methodology focuses on creating a friendly and relaxed environment (which does not mean undemanding!) in which students feel confident to express their own ideas and worries. In my lessons I focus on technical and postural questions, but we also reflect together on the music, as I like my students to develop their own musical ideas and not just imitate the teacher.

Osian
Cello, singing and theory lessons from bilingual Welsh and English speakerHi my name is Osian and I’m a cellist from South Wales. I’ve taught children of many ages and standards and I really feel privileged to be a part of someone’s musical and personal development. Music lessons can be a way of reaching the concert platform or it could be a way of expressing yourself and being creative, wether it’s a career path or not.
I grew up playing and singing where my first priority was to fall in love with music and learn to perform it to the best standard that I could do and that’s what I’d like to encourage my students to aim for too.
I’m a BMus Hons Scholar from
The Royal Academy of Music and I’m not studying at a masters lever at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.

Music/Instrumental Lessons - Cello/Piano/Music Theory/CompositionBy taking online music classes in cello, piano, music theory, and composition, students can develop a well-rounded musical foundation. Cello and piano lessons enhance instrumental technique, musical expression, and performance skills. Music theory classes provide an understanding of harmony, rhythm, and melody, essential for analyzing and interpreting music. Composition classes allow students to apply their theoretical knowledge by creating original pieces, learning how to structure works, orchestrate for different instruments, and develop a personal style. These classes also cultivate discipline, creativity, and confidence in musical practice.
