Cello lessons in The Hague for all ages and levels

From 48 € /h

Every student needs a teacher who gives personal attention and is flexible, which is why I always adapt to the student's individual needs and different speeds of learning. Everyone is capable of making music, we only need to develop our skills, and with the right tools the world of music opens up.

I am deeply convinced that music is something that we all need and find the most comforting in the trickiest situations. Music helps to express emotions and the cello is an instrument that is immensely similar to the human voice.
I hope that every student of mine will find their voice and reveal their feelings while playing cello.

Let’s meet in our first lesson and enjoy the world of music!

About Me

My name is Liutauras and I am a cellist. For many years now my life revolves around playing cello, teaching others to make music and find the best qualities of this instrument.

My relationship with cello is long and fulfilling and I hope to show to my students how meaningful it can be. After having graduated from The Royal Conservatoire of The Hague I take it my duty to share the acquired knowledge and curiosity about the cello and music.

Since my study began, I was interested and engaged in teaching and educational activities – teaching private students, watching other acknowledged teachers and their open lessons and participating in masterclasses, where professors in a very short amount of time try to positively impact the young performers.

This experience enables me to teach students from the very young age to the most advanced level.
My previous study (bachelor in mathematics in Vilnius University) gives me an opportunity to analyze every student’s playing and to offer the most effective and easiest solution to achieve the better result.

As a musician and a teacher, I am always searching for new ways to interact with students and stimulate their creativity and musicality.

My name is Carla Peña and I come from Barcelona. Since I was a child, music has played an important role in my life. I started learning music when I was 4 years old and cello when at the age of 6. I discovered my love for music and that is what I share with my students.
I have around 15 pupils of all levels and ages and I teach at my own studio (De Constant Rebecquestraat 3) or at your place!
If you are in The Hague area and you want to learn the cello or improve your playing, you are welcome to do lessons with me!

FIRST LESSON:
The first lesson consists of getting to know each other. This is essential to choose the best teaching approach. All the students are unique, that is why I always choose the method that adapts better to your needs. Then, we elaborate a personal plan, depending on your level, expectations, practice time, and taste.

TECHNIQUE:
Learning the proper technique of the instrument is very important to avoid injuries and to be able to express ourselves and perform our musical ideas in a successful way. That is why we learn nice songs in different styles, depending on your taste (from classical to jazz, film music, pop, etc.) and we combine it with cello method books with progressive exercises to improve the cello knowledge.
In the case of young beginners, we also play cello games during the lesson to make the learning experience dynamic and fun! Children can lose attention and get bored very quickly!

Playing together is an essential part of enjoying music. Therefore, the last part of the lesson always consists of playing cello duets and having fun!

ABOUT ME:

I studied my Bachelor in Conservatori Superior del Liceu in Barcelona, with professor Amparo Lacruz. Then, I decided to continue my studies at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague in the class of Michel Strauss and Jan-Ype Nota.
During my studies in The Hague, I did a teaching internship at the Royal Conservatory as a part of their Minor in Music Education. I also taught in several Music Schools during my studies in Spain.
Currently, I teach private students in The Hague and I created a cultural center in The Hague called Pandora Studio.
I play regularly in two chamber music ensembles: Trio Jakob and Azalaïs Quartet.

You will learn basic and advanced technique and improve your musicianship in a gentle and supported way.
Leaning should be relaxing and fun - lessons are always engaging and uplifting.
From beginner to advanced amateur, all levels and ages are welcome to try a lesson and join the studio.

Individual cello lessons focusing on the needs of the student.
The main focus is developing the musicality as well as the technique of the student.
Lessons for total beginners, as well as advanced cellists.

I study at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague and studied in Paris before living in the Netherlands. I already gave lessons and will have my teaching diploma in January 2023.

If the student has specific needs (preparing for an audition, competition, etc...), mention it before the lessons!
Feel free to contact me for any question regarding the lessons.

Hello!

Are you looking for a new Cello teacher?
My name is Paulo. I’m a German/Portuguese cellist and Cello teacher. I studied in Germany in the music universities of Cologne and Düsseldorf (Bachelor of Music and Master of Music - Artistic and pedagogic degrees). I have a lot of experience in teaching and I love to do so!
Students of all ages are very welcome to contact me.

I would be very pleased to become your new Cello teacher :)

I’m a cello teacher in the official music school in the city of Mönchengladbach, Germany. Since I’m moving to The Hague in August I’m looking for new professional challenges and personal encounters in the City. My Dutch isn’t still perfect, but I’m working on it. All the other languages I stated are spoken fluently by me.

I’m curious for your messages.

Groetjes,
Paulo

I'm offering productive music lessons in a friendly environment.
I'll guide your development from any level. I treat every student as an individual, and I adapt my approach accordingly - whether making music is your hobby or you have rather serious plans with it.

Depending on what you aim for, I'll choose nice pieces/songs and interesting exercises. I always care about leaving my students with the necessary tools for practice on their own when I'm not around to guide them.
You'll learn a stable intonation, and develop your rhythmical sense, musical interpretation, good posture, and apparatus that works for you individually. Together we can go not only for classical but also pop, rock or film music. What you might also enjoy during the lesson is playing together in a duo with me - so you can experience making music with another person, which is super fun!

There is many fantastic advantages to learning music, such as the growth of your musical taste and artistic sensitivity, and as even science proves - enhancement of your brain capacity.
But learning the cello or piano - the instruments that everyone wants to play ♡ - will truly inspire you by its unique sound.

//Besides my main instrument lesson domain, I offer help with Music Theory, Ear Training, Solfege, and Music History//
We can have lessons either in my apartment in Zeeheldenwkartier/Den Haag or at your location within the central area of the Hague.

Hi !

I am Héloïse, a french cellist and singer who lives in The Netherlands since two years. I finished to study at HKU Utrecht Conservatorium in june and am now a professional musician and, among other a cello teacher at the Lindenberg Center in Nijmegen.

After teaching music theory for two years in a french conservatory, I realised how much teaching is very important for me and helps me to grow as a musician. I like to adapt to the student and try to find a solution in any pedagogical situation.
I can teach all cello and singing levels, and all ages. I can also give some music theory lessons.
The lessons can be at my place in The hague or online but also at the student place, in english or french.

Thank you!

For children, I focus on making the first steps into music playful and exciting. I use age-appropriate exercises, simple songs, and creative activities that spark their curiosity and keep them motivated. My aim is to nurture not only their technical growth, but also their natural sense of rhythm, imagination, and love for music.

For adults, I offer lessons that can be adapted to a wide range of goals. Some students come to me wanting to enjoy music as a relaxing hobby, and for them I design engaging and enjoyable lessons that build confidence step by step. Others are preparing for conservatory entrance exams, orchestra repertoire, performance opportunities, and with them I work on developing advanced technique, musical expression, and audition readiness. In every case, I create a supportive and structured environment that helps students stay motivated and progress steadily.
