Professional musician, I teach cello for all levels!

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Passionate and experienced, I offer cello lessons adapted to all levels and objectives. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced musician, we will cover the fundamental aspects of instrumental technique by working in depth on the left hand (pitch, vibrato, agility) and the right hand (bow control, pressure/speed, nuances, sound quality).
I pay particular attention to posture and bodily connection with the instrument, to create a harmonious link between the body and the cello. This work promotes a fluid and expressive playing, where the body becomes an extension of the instrument.
Beyond technique, I encourage ensemble musical playing, introducing you to the art of chamber music and active listening, in order to develop your musical sense and refine your interpretation. Each course is personalized according to your desires and the styles you wish to explore.

We will travel through different musical eras to enrich your repertoire and your understanding of styles, while giving an important place to emotions and feelings in music.
My goal is to give you the tools and the cards to fully express yourself on the cello, whether for pleasure, to prepare for a competition or a competition or to join an ensemble.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am a mezzo-soprano and professional musician, passionate about self-development through music. Trained at the conservatory of Fontenay-sous-bois, Montreuil and then at the Royal Academy of Music in London, I have had the honor of winning prestigious awards such as the first prize of the International Academy of Music of Flaine, the Est-Ensemble soloist competition, the Elena Gerdhart Lieder Prize, the second prize of the MAP competition as well as the bronze prize of the Virtuoso International Music Awards.

On stage, I have had the opportunity to perform in renowned international venues such as the Society of Authors and Composers of Drama, the Marble Works, the Jardin d'Acclimatation, the Arsenal Theatre, the Church of Saint-Merry, the Regent Hall, the Church of St James, the National Theatre of Pécs... My experience also includes the creation of lyrical shows (Jeu de Dames, the boundaries between shadow and light) and the creation of different musical formations (duo, trio, quartet, quintet).
Alongside my artistic career, I have been teaching singing, cello and music theory since 2018. I have worked in conservatories, private music schools, nursery schools, primary schools and middle schools/high schools. I have led music workshops and participated in projects in Medical Educational Institutes, Specialized Medical Institutes, associations or municipalities for people with disabilities or in precarious situations. I also worked on the DEMOS project.
I had the privilege of working with professors such as Stephanie d'Oustrac, Mireille Delunsch, Vincent le Texier, Françoise Tillard, Joseph Middleton, Christopher White, Peter Robinson, Frédéric Rubay...
In addition, I trained in the Alexander Technique for 4 years with Christine Clicquot de Mentque and took theater classes at the Alain de Bock studio.
With my stage and teaching experience, I am delighted to share my passion and expertise to reveal your musicality!

Experience / Qualifications

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
8 years of experience as a teacher. Graduates: Professional degree, DEM singing, CEM cello, DEM music theory
My singing lessons are based on a complete and in-depth approach to vocal technique, emphasizing the connection between the body and the voice. As a professional lyrical singer, I accompany you in the development of a healthy and controlled voice through exercises and knowledge on breathing, posture, support and opening the resonators, essential to release the power as well as the beauty, purity and personality of the voice. My teaching goes beyond technique: From my many experiences on stage, I integrate the work of interpretation and scenic expression, inspired by theater and lyrical art. Together, we will explore how to transmit emotions through the voice and the body, cultivating stage presence and the art of telling a story through music. I adapt to your needs and goals, whether it's singing for fun, preparing for a competition, or improving your confidence on stage. Whether you are a beginner or advanced, my goal is to guide you towards your voice!
My approach combines theory and creativity. We will approach learning notes through a conductor book but also through colors, drawings and songs for a fun and lively memorization. You will also discover the essential signs for reading and writing music: staff, keys, rests, alterations, ornaments and other elements enriching the musical language. The rhythm will be worked on through a book but also in a physical way thanks to dance, movement, body clapping to naturally integrate the pulse and the tempo. We will explore ensemble playing, essential for developing listening and musical cohesion with others. Interpretation and nuances will be addressed by highlighting musical colors and expressiveness in order to bring each piece to life and convey emotions. You will discover different musical styles and eras, varied instrumental forms and formations in order to enrich your musical culture. Finally, music theory (tones, chords, intervals, scales, cadences, etc.) will be integrated in a progressive and accessible way. My goal is to offer you tailor-made learning, so that each student progresses at their own pace while enjoying exploring the richness of Music.

Andrea
Classical and modern cello classes in Barcelona
(Important! The schedules are now closing with the students I already have, so it is difficult to specify a definitive schedule for September) Hello! I have been teaching classes continuously for more than 10 years and I would like to explain what you can find in a class with me! - To begin with, the most important thing is to know what you want to achieve. I would like to focus the classes according to what you need. For example, we will not put the same level of demand if you want to play for pleasure at home without haste or if you want to do some entrance exams to musical studies (although always with the same good rigor). The needs of each student can vary the methodology, the way of organizing the study sessions, the postural work, the repertoire... - Once we know what we want to achieve and by when, classes will begin in a relaxed atmosphere. Important! Relaxed is not equal to undemanding or rigorous, just that we will try not to resort to military methods, especially given my character and sense of humor ;). - Something important to note is that my methods are very dynamic and with special emphasis on the development of the ear and musicality. No reading, spitting and changing songs. I try to avoid methods that focus too much on the continuous reading of scores without memorizing, listening or understanding what is being done and why, especially so that later you can make your own aesthetic decisions and feel ownership of your performance. Alert! Maybe I'll even make you sing. - Last but not least, it should be noted that given my training (I studied classical music and modern music and jazz at the Taller de Músics) my tendency will be to give the same importance to different types of music. We will adapt to your tastes and needs, but for me we can go from baroque to blues, from blues to Haydn's sonatas, from Haydn to bebop and from bebop to Michael Jackson. Why not? If you like what you have read, do not hesitate to contact me. Learning to play the cello is a pleasure and I would love to share it with you!

Sergio
Higher Graduate (with masters) in Cello and Conducting teaches music at all levels
My teaching method is scrupulously adapted to each student I have, regardless of the subject to work on (musical language, cello, music history, analysis, conducting, etc.) I always apply the Belgian teaching model, where I trained with my master's degrees in Conducting (Antwerp) and Historical Cello (Brussels). According to this model, the main thing is a living and practical teaching, taking understanding and not memory as the main learning engine.

By taking online music classes in cello, piano, music theory, and composition, students can develop a well-rounded musical foundation. Cello and piano lessons enhance instrumental technique, musical expression, and performance skills.

Composition classes allow students to apply their theoretical knowledge by creating original pieces, learning how to structure works, orchestrate for different instruments, and develop a personal style. These classes also cultivate discipline, creativity, and confidence in musical practice.

Tamir
Cello lessons for intermediate and professionals! Combining with body-work for a pain free experience
Hello there! My name is Tamir. I am an Israeli cellist living in Berlin, and for the past years I have been performing in various renowned festival such as Yellow Barn, Lumières d’Europa and Geneva International Academy while pursuing my bachelors degree under the guidance of Prof. Frans Helmerson. Throughout the years, I have always been fascinated with the art of teaching. Through my main mentor, Prof. Zvi Plesser (The Julliard School), I learned more then just cello playing. I learned the value of persistence, search for beauty and expression. I have had the fortune of working and performing with todays most prominent musicians such as Daniel Barenboim, Krzysztof Chorzelski (Belcea Quartet), Donald Weilerstein and Gary Hoffman. Now, after finishing my studies, I am eager to share my knowledge with you! If you are a beginner, a professional, or an adult who would like to reconnect to music, I invite you for a search of discovery and fulfillment!
