Hello there! My name is Maksim and I am a professional cellist and soloist from Belarus Currently, I am studying at the Basel Musik Akademie where I am pursuing Ergänzungsstudium with Danjulo Ishizaka. I hold a Bachelor's degree from the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory and a Master's degree in Soloist Performance at Basel Musik Akademie (with Prof. Thomas Demenga). Besides giving solo and chamber concerts, teaching cello is my second passion! I enjoy sharing my experience with my students and watching them grow. With over 5 years of experience in private teaching, I have a diverse group of students from different countries, since I offer both online and in-person lessons. If you are a professional or advanced cellist who wants to dedicate their life to music, I would be more than happy to help you on that path I am fluent in English and Russian, and currently working on achieving a B2 level in German (currently at B1). Best, Maksim
