Hello! I'm Yiwen, a professional cellist with a solid background in academic training and performance. After years of study and professional practice, my mission is to help you discover the rich sound of this instrument, always adapting to your pace and personal goals. I teach because I firmly believe that music transforms people. My goal is to impart to you not only the technique necessary to master the instrument, but also the sensitivity to enjoy every note you play. What will you learn in my classes? My approach is holistic, designed so that you feel progress from the first session, regardless of whether you are starting from scratch or already have experience: Basic Technique and Posture: We will work on ergonomics and relaxation to avoid tension, achieving a clean and deep sound. Bow Mastery: You will learn the different bow strokes and weight control to add color and nuance to your performance. Musical Reading and Language: We will integrate theory in a practical way so that you understand the score while you play it. Ear Development and Tuning: Specific exercises to train the ear and achieve accurate intonation across the entire fretboard. Personalized Repertoire: From Bach suites to modern pieces or chamber music, we will adapt the pieces to your musical tastes. Interpretation and Expression: We will not only play notes; you will learn to communicate emotions through phrasing and vibrato.
