Cello lessons in Dutch, Spanish or English (live or online)

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Do you want to work on classical repertoire? Do you want to learn songs from around the world or invent your own? do you want to play happy birthday to your best friend with a Cello?

Let's explore together this beautiful instrument with pieces that you like, finding different ways to play one thing, becoming actors on the stage of music... Let's create games to develop creativity and technique, those that will help you to personalize your way of playing .

With music, we learn much more than just playing pieces. I always thought about how the ancient Greeks introduced Music as an essential subject in school. Music was to heal, to entertain, to get to know yourself more.
I'm just finished my studies in the University of Arts of Codarts (Rotterdam) and I can't deny I will always keep learning after finishing my degree. I'm looking forward to sharing some knowledge and to hear what you already know.

What can I offer?
Styles that we can work on: Classical, Folk, Jazz, Pop music.
Languages that we can speak in the lesson: Dutch, English, Catalan or/and Spanish
Skills that we can work on: basic techniques, jazz and folk techniques, play the cello while singing, percussion on the cello.

How do I work?
Each class will be individually prepared, in order to have the student goals in mind. In our first lesson we can get to know each other and then we will figure out what do you want and how can I help you.
For BEGINNERS I teach the bow, finger positions and other basics with easy songs (with kids I add games to make it more entreating). Such as relating painting with playing, dancing with playing or literature with playing.
For AVERAGE LEVEL we explore, with already some technique, how to play songs, finding a good sound and feel at ease with the instrument.

Additional Activities:
Once a month I plan a rehearsal with pianist to work on some repertoire of cello and piano. Meetings with other students are also arranged to play duos together. It's very necessary to play with people and not get stuck in our own individual studies!

Do you have doubts or need more information? Don't hesitate to write me a message!

About Me

I'm Flavia, I lived 19 years in a country house near Barcelona, and since 2018 I've been in Rotterdam. In June 2022 I graduated from Codarts Arts Conservatory.

Currently, I am in several bands most of them based in Rotterdam.
I play in The Escarteen Sisters -a duo with my sister, which we compose our own songs for cello, violin and two voices-. With this band, I toured around Europe. Ayal is another band of six woman from different cultures which we work on Turkish and Arabic music. The Talking Hands is another project, a duo of Saxo and Cello, which we do mostly improvisation music.
Back in Barcelona I joined some chamber music groups, as well as orchestras like JOSB (Jove Orquestra Simfònica de Barcelona). This experience opened my boundaries and gave me a wider view of styles in music besides the classical one.

Why not sharing what I learned and what I'm learning? Exploring together the cello with music pieces, finding different ways to play one thing, becoming actors on the stage of music... Let's create games to develop creativity and technique, those that will help you to personalize your way of playing.

Education

I began my studies in the Music School from Capellades and then I went to several conservatories from Catalunya doing lessons with different teachers and exploring different ways of educating. Ana Toca was my first cello teacher, starting with the Suzuki method and later, with Amat Santacana, a remarkable cellist from the country. For many years during the summer I also went to music camps that taught Scottish, Spanish and Portuguese folk music.

Experience / Qualifications

I have been teaching for four years in Rotterdam. Teaching to many different profiles that opened my boundaries as a pedagog since every student brings always something new. I thought to young age players and mostly adults.
During these years I studied different pedagogic methods for learning how to play cello and methods of how to teach them. Bunting's, Suzuki's and are some of them.
What I usually do in my lesson is put together some bits of these methods, what they inspired me and my own touch.

great teacher!
I received my first class with Flavia in Spanish (my native language) and it all went well. She has a lot of attention to detail and I am looking forward to continue this process with her.
Flavia is a good teacher and she is also very friendly, I recomend it!
I have had two lessons now. They were positive. She listened carefully to my story about my experiences with the cello and tried to connect with that. She is friendly and takes her time. So far so good!

As a cello amateur , i am striving to constantly learn to play better! when i arrived in Rotterdam a few months ago, i needed guidance to continue practicing . Flavia is the perfect person for this. She is an accomplished musician and artist. She can speak about composition, context of a piece, expression etc.., and at the same time, go also into elaborated technical cello advice. Very motivating partnership with her !

The Bass Guitar, Piano, Guitar or Music Theory Course
The Bass guitar lessons are given at all levels from beginners to advanced / professionals. You learn how to play the instrument, with the right attitude and the right technical and theoretical underpinning of everything you want to learn. A somewhat broader music theoretical knowledge can also be taught. Customization is provided to the student's wishes. The music theory lessons provide insight into how western music theory functions and how it is applied in practice. Exercises are also done to develop the hearing and music theoretical exercises are done on the basis of either piano, guitar or bass guitar. The aim is to understand what the theory behind music is and why it functions that way. The Guitar (or Piano) lessons are only given at beginners level. The basic skills of the instrument are taught and an insight is also given into simple music theoretical issues with which the student can benefit from these acquired insights until a much more advanced stage and make faster progress on his/her instrument.
