About Me
I am a professional performing cellist with a high interest and experience also in teaching, research, historical performance, music theory and composition. I have a Bachelor of Music from the Norwegian Academy of Music, a Master and an Artist Diploma from the University of Stavanger, Norway, and a Master of Music from the Royal College of Music, London, where I was an Anglo-Norse Award Holder.I am in high demand as a chamber musician, and besides performing with my own string quartet and piano trio, I have also performed with small ensembles and chamber orchestras such as the British Sinfonia, Opera Holland Park, Brandenburg Sinfonia and Brandenburg Baroque Soloists, Florilegium, Orchestra Nova, Piccadilly Sinfonietta and Ensemble OrQuesta. I have been soloist with various Norwegian orchestras, but I mostly enjoy giving solo recitals where the music of Bach is usually present. I am a Southbank Sinfonia alumnus, on the extras list for the Norwegian Radio and Stavanger Symphony Orchestras, and I enjoyed the professional experience scheme of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment in 2022.
My research on historical performance practice (early 18th to early 20th centuries) is presented in the form of webinars and lecture recitals which I have held for instance at the RCM Music & Ideas series 2020, at the London Festival of Baroque Music 2022 and for the London Mozart Players friends 2023. I made a recording of the Elgar Cello Concerto historically informed with an orchestra of London freelancers in 2020. I recently performed with the Gabrieli Players and conductor Paul McCreesh in Elgar’s Dream of Gerontius on historical instruments. We made a studio recording which will be published early 2024.

Experience / Qualifications
My teaching experience began in 2006 when I was employed in a half-year long maternity cover at Sandefjord School of Music and Performing Arts, Norway. I taught 10 pupils aged 8-18 weekly and arranged a concert for them by the end of the year with solos, duos and cello ensemble music, some of which were self-arranged. The positive feedback from pupils, parents and other music teachers at the school, and the pupils’ sudden advancements, resulted in regular invitations to come back and teach until I moved to Oslo to begin my full-time study in 2011. During my studies in Stavanger, I was employed as a cello teacher at the Kolibri Music Academy where I taught adult beginners. I was also substituting at the Stavanger School of Music and Performing Arts where I taught children from 7-18 in cello and orchestra sectionals. I arranged a piece for cello orchestra for the students and professors at this school which I rehearsed and conducted in a concert in October 2016.I have had many courses in conducting and ensemble coaching and have led rehearsals of my own compositions and arrangements over many years. I have been principal in various orchestras in Norway and the UK where I have led sectional rehearsals. I have since 2018 been teaching privately in London with approximately 10 students weekly aged 8 to 70, from beginners to more advanced students, both in person and online.
Since 2017 I have been Jakob Kullberg's unofficial teaching assistant at the Royal College of Music, giving me unique experience in teaching students of the RCM up to Artist Diploma level. I have also been assisting Kullberg in the development of a new book of exercises and detailed descriptions on how to accomplish various musical and technical aspects of playing the cello. With this background, I have a high focus in my teaching on mastering a good cello-technique as a tool of reaching a higher level of musicality and performance. Energy saving and efficiency in your playing are key elements. As well as working on isolated technical exercises, I find it important to place the outcome of this into music at an early stage. It is important for the student to understand why this particular technique is important to learn, but also for them to get a direct feeling that it actually improves their playing. By the end, we all take up the cello because we want to play music.
I tailor my teaching to each individual's needs, abilities and goals, so I have various approaches in my teaching depending on what to achieve. I believe everyone needs to know something about music theory and history to be able to play an instrument. This is to understand the sheet music we play from, ways to shape the music, stylistic variety, deciphering the composer’s ideas behind the music, but also to better understand how the instrument works. I have made short theory tests and writing tasks on different levels to use for my students. Working with the material and actually writing musical notes increases the musical understanding in my experience. I explain simply and well, and I build up a technical and musical knowledge in my students gradually, introducing one element at the time.
Since I was 11 and throughout my studies, I have actively learned music theory, analysis, composition and arranging, and these skills have followed me closely as a performing cellist. I gained distinction in the composition and performance module at the Royal Northern College of Music (2014) and in the orchestration module at the Royal College of Music (2018). My compositions and arrangements have been performed in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, UK and Brazil. As a composition and music theory teacher, I typically teach music notation, engraving, how to build up a good melody, harmony and harmonic progressions, how to put harmony to a melody, instrumental knowledge and how to write for various instruments, how to create various effects and characters in your own music and how to arrange already written music for other instruments.
I teach modern classical cello, early 20th century cello, baroque cello, orchestral repertoire and chamber music, piano, conducting, composition, aural skills, music theory and orchestration. Besides technique, music making and performance, I can help you towards any exams and auditions, orchestral auditions, 17th and 18th century performance practice, particularly on the J.S. Bach Cello Suites, 19th and early 20th century performance practice, and on contemporary music. I am perceived as a pedagogical, motivating, creative teacher who gives simple explanations and accurate descriptions which will help you advance at speed.

Andrea
Classical and modern cello classes in BarcelonaHello! I've been teaching continuously for over 10 years, and I'd like to explain what you can expect from a class with me.
Personalized approach: The most important thing is to know what you want to achieve. I will tailor the lessons to your needs: playing for pleasure at home is not the same as preparing for entrance exams (although always with the same rigor). Your goals will influence the methodology, the organization of your studies, the repertoire, and so on.
Relaxed (but rigorous) environment: Once you've defined your goals, classes will be dynamic and pressure-free. Note! "Relaxed" doesn't mean undemanding; we'll just avoid military methods—especially given my personality and sense of humor.
Music, not just notes: My methods are very dynamic, with a special emphasis on hearing and musicality. No "read, play, and turn the page." I avoid approaches obsessed with reading sheet music without memorizing, listening, or understanding what is being played. I want you to own your performance and make artistic decisions. Warning! I might even make you sing.
No stylistic barriers: Thanks to my training in Jazz and Modern Music, I give equal importance to all genres. Adapting to your tastes, we'll go from baroque to blues, from Haydn to bebop... or even Michael Jackson. Why not?
If you identify with this approach, contact me! Learning the cello is a pleasure, and I'd love to share it with you!

Classical piano and musicianship: interpretation, practice and performanceThe purpose of this course is to help students develop their musical sensibility as (classical) pianists. Whether it be online or in person-- though in person is preferred, as it makes teaching more engaging--, classes will consist of a play-through of a specific repertoire followed by advice on technique, interpretation and practice methods. The students can bring their own pieces to play or I can provide some myself, and the goal will be to ensure that this is played faithfully with respect to the score, but most importantly, musically, and in this way to rapidly but securely build repertoire.
