Professional cellist gives cello and theory lessons for all levels

I've spent my whole live practicing and playing cello and I can assure it's one of the most marvelous things one can do. Even if you struggle! I can teach either beginners or amateurs who want to get better at it, or higher level students who want to perfect their craft. Also, if you are somebody thinking about starting with this instrument, do not have any doubt!

I base myself on the teachings received from my teachers during all my years of study, in which I have always been especially interested in the importance of the figure of the teacher for the healthy development of students. I adapt to the technical and musical needs of each student, even if we start from 0, without prior musical knowledge.
We will work on every aspect of cello playing: Both hands' technique, posture, musical expression...
Musical theory, solfège, harmony, etc. are also possible!

I would like to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude for the fantastic experience during my first private cello lesson. Javier's dedication, passion and expertise have left a deep impression on me. Javiers' ability to convey complex musical concepts clearly and comprehensibly made the lesson not only educational but also extremely inspiring. Javiers' patience and encouragement have boosted my confidence and encouraged me to continue my musical journey. It is clear that Javier is not only an excellent musician, but also an exceptional teacher. Javiers' dedication to nurturing the talent of his students is admirable.

I have my own cello, played it and played it, and I can never forget it in one of the most beautiful things. Zelfs as ever as he can lift me! I can learn a lot of beginners from amateurs who he wants to become, as students of a high level who want to perfect themselves. Well, as no one bent the conqueror thinks about starting with the instrument, then you can't do it! I'm based on the reading that I've been learning about my learning, so I'm always interested in the interest in the subject of the figure and the learning for the development of the blanks. I'm going to start with the technical and musical techniques of the Leerling, as we start from 0, and then the music will be heard. We work on the same aspect of the cellospel: the technique of both hands, the sound, the musical expression...
I have been playing and studying the cello for almost a lifetime and I can assure you that it is one of the most wonderful things that can be done. Even if it costs! I can teach both beginners or amateurs who want to improve their level, as well as advanced students who want to perfect their work. Also, if you are someone who is considering starting with this instrument, do not hesitate! We will work on all aspects of the execution: the technique of both hands, posture, relaxation, musical expressiveness ...

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.
