Cello Lessons with a Conservatorium van Amsterdam Graduate — All Levels, AmsterdamTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Cello Lessons with a Conservatorium van Amsterdam Graduate — All Levels, AmsterdamTranslate this text using Google Translate.

I teach cello to students of all ages and levels: from complete beginners to those preparing for conservatory auditions. My goal is to build your technique and musicality together, step by step, so that you're always challenged but never overwhelmed. A typical lesson works on a mix of technique (posture, bow control, tone production), repertoire suited to your level and taste, and — if you want it — music theory and sight-reading. I'll set clear short-term goals with you each lesson and check in regularly on your progress, so you always know what you're working toward and why. I have experience teaching students with dyslexia and ADHD, and I adjust my pacing and explanations so lessons stay clear and comfortable rather than stressful. If you're an absolute beginner, don't worry — I've taught people who've never held a cello before, and we start exactly where you are. A bit about my background: I hold a Master of Music from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, where I studied under Ella van Poucke, and I graduated cum laude from the Conservatory and University of Thessaloniki. With my quartet, I won First Prize and the Young Jury Prize at the Storioni Festival Competition 2026, and I've performed at venues including Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Muziekgebouw Amsterdam, and Muziekgebouw Eindhoven. Lessons can be in English, Dutch, German, or Greek, in Amsterdam or online. Get in touch and tell me a bit about your goals — I'll tailor our first lesson around them. If you’re interested, feel free to contact me with any questions.

CELLO & MUSIC LESSONS FOR ALL AGES AND LEVELS WITH A PROFESSIONAL CELLIST WITH 10 YEARS OF TEACHING EXPERIENCE (IN PERSON AND ONLINE)Translate this text using Google Translate.

Are you in love with the sound of the cello but have never dared to start playing it? Have you been playing the cello as an amateur and now need an expert to guide you? Do you want to develop and improve your cello and musical skills? Do you need reinforcement lessons? Would you like to prepare for entrance exams to the conservatory? Would you love to join a youth orchestra and need help preparing for the auditions? ... These are the private cello lessons you were looking for! My name is Miriam, I am a graduate in Master of Classical Music at KASK & Conservatorium in Ghent. I've been teaching cello to children, teenagers and adults for 10 years, so I've acquired the necessary experience to be able to adapt to the different and personal needs and objectives of each student. My teaching methodology focuses on creating a friendly and relaxed environment (which does not mean undemanding!) in which students feel confident to express their own ideas and worries. In my lessons I focus on technical and postural questions, but we also reflect together on the music, as I like my students to develop their own musical ideas and not just imitate the teacher. Contact me now to schedule your first lesson and take the first step toward your musical aspirations! :)

Classical and modern cello classes in BarcelonaTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Hello! I've been teaching continuously for over 10 years, and I'd like to explain what you can expect from a class with me. Personalized approach: The most important thing is to know what you want to achieve. I will tailor the lessons to your needs: playing for pleasure at home is not the same as preparing for entrance exams (although always with the same rigor). Your goals will influence the methodology, the organization of your studies, the repertoire, and so on. Relaxed (but rigorous) environment: Once you've defined your goals, classes will be dynamic and pressure-free. Note! "Relaxed" doesn't mean undemanding; we'll just avoid military methods—especially given my personality and sense of humor. Music, not just notes: My methods are very dynamic, with a special emphasis on hearing and musicality. No "read, play, and turn the page." I avoid approaches obsessed with reading sheet music without memorizing, listening, or understanding what is being played. I want you to own your performance and make artistic decisions. Warning! I might even make you sing. No stylistic barriers: Thanks to my training in Jazz and Modern Music, I give equal importance to all genres. Adapting to your tastes, we'll go from baroque to blues, from Haydn to bebop... or even Michael Jackson. Why not? If you identify with this approach, contact me! Learning the cello is a pleasure, and I'd love to share it with you!

Rachael Lonergan has been teaching cello since 1989. She was a coach for the Suzuki Music Program of Los Angeles for twelve years, and the cello coach for both the New West Ventura Youth Symphony and the Avanti Chamber Orchestra. She was on the faculty for the Southern California Suzuki Institute in 1996. Rachael also taught chamber music classes at The National Cello Institute from 2003 through 2019. In 2006 Rachael started the San Fernando Valley Cello Ensemble (SFVCE), which consists of students from her studio. ​ She was coordinator of the Suzuki Cello Graduation for the Suzuki Music Association of California Los Angeles branch from 1996-2017 as well as coordinator of the American String Teachers Association Area I and II Competition from 1999-2006. She served on the Los Angeles Cello Society Board of Directors for ten years, was their membership co-chair for four years, and coordinated the annual Student Honor Recital. ​ Rachael has edited three books in collaboration with Last Resort Music, played on several motion pictures, a Gloria Estefan music video (at 2:36 in video) and was featured in an Air Supply video. She was principal cellist of the West Valley Chamber Orchestra for eight years, where she was featured as a soloist performing works such as Dvorak’s Cello Concerto in Bb, Haydn’s C Major Concerto, Saint-Saens Concerto No. 1, Vivaldi’s Double Concerto in g minor, Boccherini’s Concerto in Bb, Faure’s Elegie and Bruch’s Kol Nidrei, among others. ​ Rachael's students have won top awards in competitions such as ASTA, PTA, VOCE, SYMF, LAVS, YAG, and Memorial Awards, among others. Her students participate in chamber music programs at Colburn, and JCM as well as local youth orchestras such as CSUN, Conejo Valley, LAYO, and Colburn. Numerous students have won concerto competitions and have performed solos with various orchestras. 95% of her students are also members of their school orchestra in addition to being members of the SFVCE which performs regularly throughout the year. ​ Students have gone on to pursue a degree in cello performance at Oberlin, Manhattan School of Music, Peabody, UCLA, Gonzaga University, UCSB, Cal State Long Beach, Lawrence University, and Baldwin-Wallace College while others have minored in music at USC and Stanford. She has several former students that are now private teachers as well as performers. ​ Rachael thanks all the teachers who have influenced and shaped her playing and teaching over the years: Gretchen Geber, Rick Mooney, Richard Allen, Peter Rejto, Matt Cooker, John Walz, and Andrew Cook. Without their influence, guidance, and support she knows her life would be very different. ​ Learning to her is a lot like life, and the journey itself is much more important than the end. She is a product of all her teachers, and feels that as she continues to teach, she keeps learning and growing with each student. It is a never ending process.

🎻 Learn the cello with passion and pleasure!Translate this text using Google Translate.

For the past three years, I have been teaching cello in music schools and within musical associations in France. This experience has allowed me to work with a wide variety of students: children who are beginners or already musicians, teenagers, adult beginners, as well as people wishing to take up the cello again after several years of interruption. This diversity of students has convinced me of one thing: there is no single right way to learn music. That's why I adapt my teaching methods to each individual, taking into account their age, level, needs, personality, and above all, their goals. For children: I aim to create an environment that is structured, fun, and motivating. Technical learning remains essential, but it must be accompanied by curiosity and enjoyment. I use a variety of exercises and tools, sometimes more innovative ones, to make musical concepts concrete and facilitate understanding. The goal is to allow the child to progress while gradually developing their autonomy and confidence. For adults: Have you always wanted to learn the cello? Did you start when you were younger and want to pick it up again? It's never too late to rediscover the joy of playing. I adapt to each person's pace, without imposing any predefined goals. We can work on the basics, gradually review technique, explore a repertoire you love, or delve deeper into specific aspects according to your interests. I can also integrate music theory concepts directly into instrumental work when it is useful. Above all, I want to share my passion: beyond technique, what motivates me in teaching is the act of passing on knowledge. I love seeing a student overcome a difficulty, understand something new, and above all, gain confidence in their playing. My goal is for each lesson to allow students to progress, discover and enjoy making music. I am currently pursuing my advanced cello studies at the Haute École de Musique (HEMU) in Lausanne, while continuing to develop my teaching experience. Whether you are a beginner, wish to take up the cello again or are looking to improve your skills, I will be happy to build with you a tailor-made teaching program that truly corresponds to your musical project.

EN below IT The most important thing for me is listening to music. If you are studying music as a hobby or in preparation for your professional career, we will help you achieve the greatest efficiency and get the most out of it by making our job easier. It is clear that learning music requires discipline and work, but can be interesting and expandable. The flexibility lies in the main features of my classes: My goal for my graduates is that they need a digital method that they have to adapt to their personal attitude and style. The offer of classes for individuals and private groups of all students and the duration of the course are also flexible and depend on the training of the student (most of the little ones that Suelen was able to aprovechar in the last media lessons). Classes can be in Spanish, English, Dutch or Greek. Language and music theory are presented in all classes, but in an organic form and with a lot of immersion in practice. ¡No people interested in contacting the site! :) :) EN The most important thing for me is having fun learning music. Whether you're studying music as a hobby or preparing for your professional career, we focus on being as efficient as possible, learning as much as possible, and having a good time while doing it. Of course, learning music requires discipline and hard work, but it can be done in an interesting and satisfying way. Flexibility is my main characteristic: my goal is to give you what you need through a dynamic method that adapts to your personality and your specific learning style. I offer both individual lessons and group lessons for people of all ages. The duration of the lessons is flexible and there is also the possibility of combining the lesson content between cello, piano and music theory. We can speak in English, Dutch, Greek or Spanish. Music theory will be present in a natural and organic way in all lessons. Contact me if you are interested! :)

I began teaching cello at the age of 17, and now have over 20 years of experience. Since 2015, I have specialized in online instruction, and for the past six years, I’ve taught full-time online. I've developed a refined method that ensures healthy playing habits and correct posture, especially important for adult learners who are just starting out or returning to the instrument.

In addition to cello, I teach music theory—from the basics to advanced jazz harmony—and offer support to young composers working on their own music. I personally enjoy yoga, the Adriatic Sea in Croatia, mountains without internet connection, walking with my dog in the forest, and good music. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d be happy to help you begin or continue your journey with the cello.

A young, passionate cello teacher offers cello and baroque cello lessons in Geneva.Translate this text using Google Translate.

Hello ! Passionate and highly motivated, I offer tailor-made cello or baroque cello lessons, adapted to your organization, your personality and your desires. If you are looking for varied, supportive learning at your own pace, you are in the right place. For me, it is essential to give you the technical tools to approach the music you love with complete peace of mind. This learning process involves an analytical approach to body control and a refined awareness of movement. Drawing inspiration from the Alexander Technique and breath work, I help you find deep relaxation with the instrument. To achieve this, I create personalized exercises based on my own technical research. In addition, I utilize recognized progressive methods to solidify your foundation (Feuillard's Young Cellist Method, Valérie Aimard's CelloKids, Yampolsky, etc.). Then... it's time for the music of your dreams and sharing! Technique is simply a tool at the service of music. Alongside the fundamental work, we'll emphasize the joy of playing the repertoire of your choice: we'll work on the music you truly love. If a score doesn't exist or proves too complex, I'll create custom arrangements especially for you! But of course, music is first and foremost about sharing. I'll regularly accompany you in duets during our lessons to develop your listening skills and musicality. Indeed, playing together is very stimulating. Furthermore, I can occasionally organize meetings between students who wish to participate, giving you the opportunity to meet, exchange ideas, and play together in a friendly atmosphere. If you are passionate about early music, please note that I also offer lessons in Baroque cello. Whether you wish to begin or improve your skills on a historical instrument (gut strings, Baroque bow), or explore this specific repertoire with the aesthetics and phrasing of the period on your modern cello, I would be delighted to guide you in your learning. Feel free to contact me to discuss your musical preferences. I look forward to meeting you and starting this adventure together!

I started learning the cello with absolutely no background in music, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. From the very beginning, Miriam made the process feel approachable and enjoyable. What stands out the most is her ability to adapt her teaching, she always finds a different way to explain something until it truly clicks. You can feel that her approach is shaped by years of experience and by everything she has learned from other musicians, but what makes the difference is how she passes that knowledge on. She doesn’t just teach technique, she shares her passion for music in a way that makes you want to keep going. She is patient, calm, and genuinely supportive, which makes a big difference when you’re starting from zero. I’ve really enjoyed learning the cello so far, and I’m grateful to have her guiding me through this journey.

Andrea has become a bit of a safety valve for me—often I have no idea how to teach or guide my daughter when she’s playing cello. The experience has been so helpful and makes the process run much more smoothly. Even with a language barrier (my daughter speaks neither English nor Spanish), Andrea finds ways to connect, and it’s clear how much my daughter looks up to her. When I signed my daughter up for an orchestra camp at the last minute—with only a couple of days to learn the pieces—Andrea was a lifesaver for both of us, and thanks to her, my daughter is able to go and make great memories. We’ve already had a couple of lessons with Andrea and hope to keep working with her. I can’t recommend her highly enough!

This was my first , online lesson with Ilona and she was ...Brilliant ! Generous, warm friendly and yet highly professional. she was perceptive, with attention to detail. All my concerns and insecurites were replaced with intelligent skill and confidence building advice. I am so excited about the journey of learning a new instrument and looking forward to a strong, long and productive journey.
