Viola or Cello lessons, music theory included, for all ages and levels

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Hello !

I offer cello and viola lessons, and I am aimed at anyone, young or old, who wants to start playing music with the cello or improve their knowledge.

I have a rather atypical background since I did not go through the music school and/or Conservatory box. I started music 10 years ago with a teacher in private lessons, then I pushed my curiosity solo by participating in different orchestras and formations (quartet to septet in classical, and quartet in contemporary music/video games). I also taught cello for a year at the MJC of Verdun-sur-Garonne, as well as in private lessons for a few years.

My approach is as follows: I accompany the student throughout their desires (want to do classical, jazz? prepare for an audition? work on a particular piece? work on orchestral pieces?). I also offer a structured framework: I want to emphasize technique (inherent in the cello as in music via music theory/listening), because I am convinced that it is by having good technique that one can express oneself best in music. Don't worry! If I have a firm approach, I am nonetheless very flexible: an instrument like the cello requires a lot of patience, mistakes are therefore a necessary step, so you might as well laugh about it and persevere!

I offer one-hour classes. I can adapt the duration according to age. Do not hesitate to contact me!
With pleasure!

Lisa

Extra information

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
It is advisable to own an instrument or to have rented one and bring it with you (viola: instrument + bow + shoulder rest; cello: instrument + bow + endpin rest).

I am of course available to accompany you and choose an instrument at the luthier in the case of a rental.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I teach cello and viola because music is, as you may have guessed, one of my passions. I started music "late", at the age of 19, without having had the chance to go to school. I am aware of the difficulty of approaching an instrument when you are an adult with responsibilities and a busy life, but with your head dreaming of the leisure activities that you did not or hardly enjoyed in childhood. So I have all the more patience because I know this difficulty of juggling between the desire to learn but little time to do so.

In music, I have an eclectic approach: I like classical as much as jazz, baroque, rock... I consider that the important thing is to work on what we like, so I am not closed to "atypical" requests.

Education

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
As stated above, I cannot claim to have had any particular education. I did not attend school, and even less so the Conservatoire. I studied the cello in private lessons with Valérie Fouriaud-Michaud who worked in the Orchestre du Capitole, then I continued my discovery of music in various amateur orchestras, more or less large groups, etc.

Experience / Qualifications

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
For 1 year, I was a cello teacher at the MJC of Verdun-sur-Garonne. Once a week, I accompanied students to achieve their goals, from simply wanting to learn a piece to passing the BMD.

Paula
Cello in a nutshell: Cello lessons for everyone in Mainz and online
Music is very interesting both as a profession and as a hobby, but in the beginning we all have difficulties when it comes to playing an instrument. But with a little guidance and a bit of patience you can get the desired results... it's proven :) My name is Paula, I love teaching and working with enthusiastic people, because as I said, teaching others is actually teaching yourself ;). My bachelor's degree at the Conservatory of Ghent (Belgium) taught me what music interpretation is. At the Peter Cornelis Conservatory I learned the important basics of cello and music teaching. In recent years I have gained a lot of experience teaching cello in individual and group lessons as well as in string class lessons. The way of teaching will suit the level of the student (for beginners I divide the lessons into two parts: half basic music theory and the other half cello), and I will always have my cello with me to illustrate. If you are interested in playing this beautiful instrument, do not hesitate to write to me. Music is a beautiful game.

Viola
Learn how to play the violin or the viola and how to read music
Feeling good with your body and listening to it, understanding where the sound comes from and how to produce it, learning the basics and how to read the notes and the score, learning tricks and daily exercises without the instrument to help you develop your agility and muscles, playing together duets to get closer to the chamber music world and to learn how to listen and collaborate with others. I think it's important to listen also to the student's requests and desires; if you have a tune or a piece that you would love to play we can work on it together. Folk music is also an interesting way through which we can get closer to the instrument and the music world, playing traditional dances from different countries and discovering different music languages. As every person has his own physiognomy and musculature, we will try to find together a correct and comfortable posture that better suits the student to create a connection with the instrument. Warming-up and taking care of our body is part of a musician's life (beginner, amateur or professional) and it is important to prevent injuries and muscle pain. Unfortunately this aspect is not often taken into account and for this reason I aim to transmit this value to my students.
