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.

All levels and all purposes are welcome! When it comes to learning a language, there’s no replacement for learning from a native speaker. I work with students so that they get the best value for their time and effort. Above all, language learning should be enriching and enjoyable! Please free to ask any questions.
