Cello lessons for all ages and levels. Individual lessons, cello group ensemble, chamber music lessons and/or music theory lessons.

I am a cello teacher so If you are looking for cello lessons in Luzern, I would be glad to meet you.
It doesn’t matter if you are starting to learn the cello or if you never played it. Music can be fun to learn and explore and I would love to show you that during my lessons.

I am fluent in German, Portuguese, Spanish and English.

The lessons can have the duration of 30, 45, 60, 90 or 120 mins. They can also be online, at my location or at the students location. According to each person needs and preferences.

The main goal of these lessons will be to help you reach your expectations as a cello player and as a musician, either you want to delve into improvisation, methodology or just prepare for an exam I do my best to adapt my lessons to your needs. Also along the way I hope I can help you discover new works or music genres and also help you understand musical notation.

The most important part is that you improve and learn how to express yourself through music regularly and have fun with that knowledge.
My lessons and teachings are never the same. I don’t follow just a method or a “Cello Schule”. I insert a lot of different subjects, games and improvisation during lessons to make them more creative and fun.

Every student has their individual needs and my teaching focuses on that. In the end I just want you to feel good playing the cello, develop your ear, sense of rhythm and find a way to combine your daily life with music learning in a creative way!

I hope to meet you soon!

Kind regards,
Catarina

About Me

I’m Pirii and I am 26 years old and I was born in Almada, Portugal.
Do you want to know a bit about me? Here is a short description :)
I’ve started my musical studies at the age of 6 at the Artistic School of Music at the National Conservatory of Lisbon.
As a complement to the study of music, I was part of the Children and Youth choir at the University of Lisbon, where I had the opportunity to participate in several tours and choir contests in Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Additionally, I practiced classical and contemporary dance.
Since 2013 I had been part of a young theater group and since 2015 a band that won the National Band Contest in 2015.
In my cello career I participated in masterclasses with several cellists such as Bruno Borralinho, Xavier Gagnepain, Gabriel Schwabe, Carlos Leal Cardin, Michel Strauss, Harriet Krigh, and obtained classes with Luís Sá Pessoa, Catherine Strynckx, Levon Mouradian, Filipe Quaresma and Jed Barahal.
In 2015 and 2017 I played at the Young Portuguese Orchestra, with which she had the privilege to play at the Young Euro Classic at the Berliner Konzerthaus.
I’m passionate about music, playing in chamber music, art and teaching.
In the chamber music contest I won several prizes such as “Concurso Vila Verde” and “Jovem.com”, and give regularly concerts with my chamber music group “ Ono Trio “ (cello trio) and Duo_Tus.

I’m looking forward to share my passion with you!

Speaking is the best way to learn a new language! - "Learning by doing" We will also listen some Portuguese music and read some Portuguese literature. I will teach you also how to write, new vocabulary and grammar . You will have easily the feeling that, after some lessons, you could fly to Portugal and could communicate and enjoy this beautiful country! I hope to meet you soon!

Amira
Clarinet lessons for all levels - beginner to conservatory
My classes are aimed at people of all ages or levels and with an interest in any musical genre (classical, jazz, pop/rock, blues, folk and improvisation). I have 3 years of experience teaching clarinet, the lessons are personalized based on each student's interests. We set goals that we develop in the lessons. They are divided into three areas, the technical skills of the instrument, the training of the ear for the interpretation and the theory as a common language. I teach everything your heart desires in German, English and Arabic and look forward to exploring the clarinet with you.

Tiago
Cello Class in Luzern / Zurich / Bern - In my residence, online or in some cases in the student house
I teach my students how to play the cello and use it to express their inner voice. I'm currently doing my master's at Luzern Hoschule and I have already taught privately for 5 years and was also a professor at a music academy. I always try to pick the artistic side of my students and give them the tools to express themselves. Every class will be adapting to the student's struggles and evolution. My student's ages go from early age to adult and elderly.

Isabel
Violoncello lessons for children and adults (in German, English, Italian or Spanish)
Learning music is about enjoying life. That's what a teacher told me when I was little, and I want it to be that way for the rest of the people, regardless of how much knowledge and freedom they want to achieve. Hello! My name is Isabel, I am a Spanish cellist. I love teaching, I also learn a lot from it, and I have experience teaching both children and adults in institutions such as the Music School of Lugano. In my lessons I focus on building a good physical and mental relationship with the instrument in order to learn how to handle it healthily and effectively. Always apply theory in connection with practice. I now play as an academic with the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra. The price of the class can be adjusted to your capabilities. I can give lessons in German, English, Italian and Spanish.

Pedro

My goal is to make my students understand and love music as much as I do, in an exciting, fun, and motivating way. Whether you want to learn an instrument for vocation and profession or just for a hobby, I'd be glad to help you enter the magical world of music!
