Professional musician, I teach cello for all levels!

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Passionate and experienced, I offer cello lessons adapted to all levels and objectives. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced musician, we will cover the fundamental aspects of instrumental technique by working in depth on the left hand (pitch, vibrato, agility) and the right hand (bow control, pressure/speed, nuances, sound quality).
I pay particular attention to posture and bodily connection with the instrument, to create a harmonious link between the body and the cello. This work promotes a fluid and expressive playing, where the body becomes an extension of the instrument.
Beyond technique, I encourage ensemble musical playing, introducing you to the art of chamber music and active listening, in order to develop your musical sense and refine your interpretation. Each course is personalized according to your desires and the styles you wish to explore.

We will travel through different musical eras to enrich your repertoire and your understanding of styles, while giving an important place to emotions and feelings in music.
My goal is to give you the tools and the cards to fully express yourself on the cello, whether for pleasure, to prepare for a competition or a competition or to join an ensemble.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am a mezzo-soprano and professional musician, passionate about self-development through music. Trained at the conservatory of Fontenay-sous-bois, Montreuil and then at the Royal Academy of Music in London, I have had the honor of winning prestigious awards such as the first prize of the International Academy of Music of Flaine, the Est-Ensemble soloist competition, the Elena Gerdhart Lieder Prize, the second prize of the MAP competition as well as the bronze prize of the Virtuoso International Music Awards.

On stage, I have had the opportunity to perform in renowned international venues such as the Society of Authors and Composers of Drama, the Marble Works, the Jardin d'Acclimatation, the Arsenal Theatre, the Church of Saint-Merry, the Regent Hall, the Church of St James, the National Theatre of Pécs... My experience also includes the creation of lyrical shows (Jeu de Dames, the boundaries between shadow and light) and the creation of different musical formations (duo, trio, quartet, quintet).
Alongside my artistic career, I have been teaching singing, cello and music theory since 2018. I have worked in conservatories, private music schools, nursery schools, primary schools and middle schools/high schools. I have led music workshops and participated in projects in Medical Educational Institutes, Specialized Medical Institutes, associations or municipalities for people with disabilities or in precarious situations. I also worked on the DEMOS project.
I had the privilege of working with professors such as Stephanie d'Oustrac, Mireille Delunsch, Vincent le Texier, Françoise Tillard, Joseph Middleton, Christopher White, Peter Robinson, Frédéric Rubay...
In addition, I trained in the Alexander Technique for 4 years with Christine Clicquot de Mentque and took theater classes at the Alain de Bock studio.
With my stage and teaching experience, I am delighted to share my passion and expertise to reveal your musicality!

Experience / Qualifications

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
8 years of experience as a teacher. Graduates: Professional degree, DEM singing, CEM cello, DEM music theory
My singing lessons are based on a complete and in-depth approach to vocal technique, emphasizing the connection between the body and the voice. As a professional lyrical singer, I accompany you in the development of a healthy and controlled voice through exercises and knowledge on breathing, posture, support and opening the resonators, essential to release the power as well as the beauty, purity and personality of the voice. My teaching goes beyond technique: From my many experiences on stage, I integrate the work of interpretation and scenic expression, inspired by theater and lyrical art. Together, we will explore how to transmit emotions through the voice and the body, cultivating stage presence and the art of telling a story through music. I adapt to your needs and goals, whether it's singing for fun, preparing for a competition, or improving your confidence on stage. Whether you are a beginner or advanced, my goal is to guide you towards your voice!
My approach combines theory and creativity. We will approach learning notes through a conductor book but also through colors, drawings and songs for a fun and lively memorization. You will also discover the essential signs for reading and writing music: staff, keys, rests, alterations, ornaments and other elements enriching the musical language. The rhythm will be worked on through a book but also in a physical way thanks to dance, movement, body clapping to naturally integrate the pulse and the tempo. We will explore ensemble playing, essential for developing listening and musical cohesion with others. Interpretation and nuances will be addressed by highlighting musical colors and expressiveness in order to bring each piece to life and convey emotions. You will discover different musical styles and eras, varied instrumental forms and formations in order to enrich your musical culture. Finally, music theory (tones, chords, intervals, scales, cadences, etc.) will be integrated in a progressive and accessible way. My goal is to offer you tailor-made learning, so that each student progresses at their own pace while enjoying exploring the richness of Music.

Andrea
Classical and modern cello classes in Barcelona
Hello! 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 levels
My 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

Hi there! My name is Henry and I'm an instrumental and theory teacher based in Manchester.

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.

Goor
Cello lessons, solfège and / or music theory for all ages
Do 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.

Would you love to join a youth orchestra and need help preparing for the auditions? ... These are the private cello lessons you were looking for! 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.

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. Contact me now to schedule your first lesson and take the first step toward your musical aspirations! :)

Osian
Cello, singing and theory lessons from bilingual Welsh and English speaker
Hi 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.

Music/Instrumental Lessons - Cello/Piano/Music Theory/Composition
By 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.
