CELLO & MUSIC LESSONS FOR ALL AGES AND LEVELS WITH A PROFESSIONAL CELLIST WITH 8 YEARS OF TEACHING EXPERIENCE (IN PERSON AND ONLINE)

Are you in love with the sound of the cello but have never dared to start playing it?
Have you been playing the cello as an amateur and now need an expert to guide you?
Do you want to develop and improve your cello and musical skills?
Do you need reinforcement lessons?
Would you like to prepare for entrance exams to the conservatory?
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.
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.

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

Extra information

I only ask two things of you... Bring your cello (don't forget your bow!) and a lot of desire to learn!

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Hello! Hello! Ciao! Hello! I am Miriam, a Spaniard who came to Ghent with the intention of spending only two years for my master studies but fell in love with this warm and friendly city so now I have decided to stay here. I started learning Dutch last September 2023. I am currently studying level B1, but I have already started to give cello lessons in Dutch to two children. I am excited about also learning during the cello lessons, and I hope that my Dutch will get better and better :)

I have been playing the cello since I was 7 years old, and during this long musical journey I have been blessed to have met incredible teachers and musicians, both national and international, who have shared with me their knowledge and passion for music and the cello . From all of them I have taken little pieces of knowledge and inspiration that I now share with my students during our lessons. That's why I love music and teaching, I find that knowledge shared and given as a gift is simply something precious and special that I love to be a part of.

Also, I have had the good luck to play in numerous national and international orchestras where I have learned a lot on a musical and personal level. If it's already incredible to make music on your own, imagine yourself accompanied by 100 other musicians, breathing and feeling the music with you!

I'm a passionate, friendly, calm and very patient person. My approach to teaching is to provide you not only with the necessary technical and musical skills, but also to transmit the passion and excitement I feel for the cello and music.

I hope to see you soon and that we make music together :)

Very good teacher!
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude for the wonderful experience during my first private cello lesson. The dedication, passion and expertise have left a deep impression on me. Miriam is incredibly enthusiastic, positive, very sweet. She has the ability to convey complex musical concepts clearly and understandably, which made the lesson not only educational but also extremely inspiring; patience and encouragement have increased my self-confidence and encouraged me to continue my musical journey. It is clear that Miriam is not only an excellent musician but also an exceptional teacher. Miriam's dedication to nurturing the talent of her students is admirable. After the lesson I was given good applicable exercises, I know what to do! :)

Piano and or singing lessons with or without music theory in Ghent
PIANO Foundation First we start with the music theory, melody and chords. These are the essential building blocks for making music. Style Next we apply stylistic tools to bring the music to life. This could include jazz chords, blues riffs, walking bass lines, and more. skills We learn the skills (soloing, ear training, accompaniment, improvisation, lead sheets, analysis...) Following this approach, you will finally understand the music that you are playing, and you will be able to apply the techniques to hundreds of other songs. CVT COACHING Hi! I am Tine, a singer, voice teacher and vocal coach. I am passionate about helping singers to make the most of their singing practice so they can thrive, grow, and become the powerful performers and communicators the world needs today. I can help you train your voice and keep it healthy, develop your own unique sound, sing across different styles, manage performance anxiety, be authentic on stage, deliver powerful presentations, make more efficient goals and help you reach them. It is possible to create all the sounds from all the styles / genres in a healthy way! CVT METHOD? Singing is not that difficult and everybody can learn to sing. CVT divideds the singing techniques into four main subjects. By combining elements of these four subjects, you can produce precisely the sounds you want. You will also be able to pinpoint your specific problems and mistakes, and you can focus on which techniques you wish to work on. The four main subjects are: The three overall principles – to ensure healthy sound production The four vocal modes – to choose the 'gear' you want to sing in. Sound colors – to make the sound lighter or darker. Effects – to achieve specific sound effects.

Tailor-made cello lessons for all ages and levels!

Would you like to learn to play the cello? Or would you like to improve your technique? Be sure to send me a message and we will make a schedule based on your wishes, agenda and interests!

Marcos
Do you want to improve or learn to play the clarinet? This is your moment, contact me!
Hello! My name is Marcos, I am a clarinetist and I live in Brussels. I offer private lessons in person (they can be at your place or mine) or online. I have experience as a teacher for the last few years with children, adults, individual and group classes. Professional or amateur level. In my lessons, I help students find a good contact with the instrument and cultivate a positive relationship with music by integrating the development of auditory skills, a sense of rhythm and optimal use of the body, allowing them to connect with their musical imagination. Lessons are tailored to the needs and desires of each student. The most important thing is that we have a good time!

Pablo López
Improve your cello playing - Taught by Professional Cellist
Hello! My name is Pablo and I am a professional cellist. In my 20+ years playing the cello I have been lucky to build an international career as a solo and orchestral musician in places like Bremen (Germany), Sweden (Göteborg), Spain (Malaga), and Belgium (Gent). I have 4+ years worth of experience teaching online/in person, in multiple countries, as well as a C1 Cambridge certificate of English. I also have a B1 level of Nederlands. I have music articles published as well. My philosophy of teaching is to teach my students in a comprehensive way how to use their body 100% efficiently. I will teach them how to play in the most natural way, getting rid of tensions and fears in the process. I will tackle this as cello technique, but I will also work on being expresive and how to make the cello sing. Thank you for your time.

Loïc
Songwriting/Music production/Music theory for everyone.
I am a student of music production at the Royal Conservatory, with extensive knowledge of music theory covering everything from harmony to rhythm.

I tailor my classes to the student's level, ensuring effective learning and understanding. Let's embark on a musical journey together!

Imre
Private cello lessons for all ages, center of Ghent
Are you also so in love with the sound of the cello? Would you like to learn to play the cello? Go for it, I would say! For a year now I have been teaching at various music academies. I myself studied at the Royal Conservatory of Ghent. Creating music is a great passion. The necessary experience to map out a suitable path is therefore certainly there. I teach at my home (Centrum Ghent). If it is more convenient for the lesson to take place at the student's home, this is certainly possible. The duration of the lesson is decided by the student.

Alejandro
Cellist graduated in Musikene (Basque Country), offers to give private lessons in Gent. All ages.
After finishing my studies at the Conservatorio Superior de Música del País Vasco (Musikene), I am now in Ghent for my Master's degree at the Kask Konservatorium & School of Arts Ghent. I am eager to share the knowledge I have acquired and to help students who are really interested in advancing in the world of the cello, both musically and technically, as well as to transmit to my students the versatility of our instrument and its beauty. I focus especially on the relaxation of the body in order to find a good quality sound. Starting with a methodology adapted to the level of the student, together we can make great progress in the subject! Sometimes one can forget how important the use of the body is and how the right use can make everything easier, that's why I like to introduce my students to different fields related to body and mental relaxation.

I am aware that each student deserves a personal teaching approach, shaped on his/her own nature and attitude. I will help students strengthen and consolidate their technical skills on the instrument, but we will also have a lot of fun in playing music! My education: - Postgraduate Musical Performance Practice course, at KASK & Conservatorium, HoGent.

Songwriting lessons with vocal and songwriting coach
