Comprehensive Cello Lessons with Professional Teacher

With over 15 years experience, I have taught some 10,000 hours of one-to-one instrumental lessons. I have taught over 100 individual students ranging in age from four to 75+; from beginners to diploma-level, both amateurs and professionals.
Whether you have a child at the start of their musical journey, are an adult beginner or returning to music after a break, I can guide each student in the most effective and efficient way to reach the full potential.

I attended the Purcell School before moving to Germany where I studied for my Diploma. I gained a Bachelor of Music degree from City of Basel Music Academy in Switzerland and Master of Music degree from the University of Music & Performing Arts Stuttgart in Germany, graduating with the highest honours for both degrees.

About Me

I was born in South Korea and spent my childhood in Saudi Arabia and New Zealand. I first started learning piano at the age of five. I have fond memories of great lessons with inspiring teachers growing up shaping my creativity and musical understanding.
I am committed to aspiring students the same way I have experienced. I have taught students as young as four to adults. I love working with students of all levels and have also given cello classes at Amadeo Roldan Conservatory of Music in Havana, Cuba.
I attended Purcell School before moving to Germany where I studied for my Diploma. I gained a Bachelor of Music degree from the City of Basel Music Academy in Switzerland and a Master of Music degree from the University of Music & Performing Arts Stuttgart in Germany, graduating with the highest honors for both degrees. I successfully finished my Postgraduate Artist Diploma studies at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music & Dance.
I perform in prestigious venues including the Wigmore Hall, St James's Piccadilly, St Martin-in-the-Fields, National Portrait Gallery, King’s Place, the Royal Opera House, and the South Bank Centre. I regularly participate and perform in many other international music festivals all over the world. Catherine plays a wide range of repertoire, including classical, jazz, Latin & pop. My session works include recording at the Abbey Road Studios and RAK Studio London.
Having close ties to my Korean heritage, I have played in the Embassy Series at St Martin-in-the-Fields supported by the South Korean Embassy, Korean Music Festival in London as well as organizing fundraising concerts for European Alliance for Human Rights in North Korea.
My performing style, which follows a mix of German, Russian and French traditions, has been crafted by studying with many of today's leading cellists including Gustav Rivinius, Ivan Monighetti, Elena Cheah, Leonid Gorokhov, and Ulrich Voss. Further artistic development came from participating in masterclasses with highly acclaimed artists including David Geringas, Thomas Demenga, Ralph Kirshbaum, Eduard Brunner, Frans Helmerson, Matias de Oliveira Pinto, Walter Grimmer, Trolls Svane, Maria Kliegel, Stefan Litwin, and Zvi Carmeli. I have also been a selected musician for the Concordia Foundation and Music in Hospitals.

Fun and experienced young teacher taking on new piano, flute and music theory pupils for the new year! Enhanced DBS Check Fun and flexible approach to teaching Highly qualified Willing to travel References available Bio: I am a master’s student at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama studying the flute. I graduated from Cardiff University’s School of Music with a 1st class degree in Musicology in 2019. I have grade 8 qualifications in piano and music theory and a diploma in flute performance. I have an interest in the psychology of music performance and performance anxiety.

Giorgia
Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any level
I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

David
(LIVE or ONLINE!) Piano, improvisation, composition and music theory lessons
I am a Spanish pianist and composer (MMus graduate from Codarts Rotterdam in both directions) with many years of teaching experience, and also very active in performing in various contexts. I give private piano lessons for all levels and styles (classical, jazz, Latin, new age, pop...), as well as music theory, composition and improvisation lessons. My lessons are distinguished by their dynamics, practical approach and adaptation to the needs and interests of the student. The lessons (live or online) take place in my studio next to the Maastunnel, where I have a premium stage piano and a top-quality webcam setup. I speak Dutch at an intermediate level, which is improving every day.

Eirini
CLASSICAL, JAZZ/ MODERN PIANO AND RHYTHM COMPLEXITY
The older I get, the more I love. Especially during these times of immense ugliness and hate, wars and conflict, music- that's always been all about love - is the home I keep returning to. To me, mentoring someone is all about sharing the love for the instrument, thirst about the material, desire to explore new musical paths and respect for whatever happens whilst playing. Not only we will explore technical paths and understand rhythm under a totally different light but also communicate through improvisation and modal principles. My goal is for you to love the instrument a bit more, music a bit more and as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry said "Perhaps love is the process of my leading you gently back to yourself". So let's explore together the painstakingly beautiful process of music through the inner child.

Sergio
Cello Lessons at All Levels, Adapted to the Student's Needs
My teaching method is carefully tailored to the specific needs of each student, regardless of the subject we are working on (music theory, cello, music history, analysis, conducting, etc.). The pace of learning is always set by the student, ensuring that each lesson aligns realistically with their goals and interests. Whether you're looking for a more flexible, amateur approach — open to personal interests — or a more structured plan aimed at exams, auditions, or academic improvement, I design a personalized learning path for each case. My approach is rooted in a highly practical vision of learning, inspired by the educational model in which I was trained during my master’s degrees in Conducting (Antwerp) and Historical Cello (Brussels). I view teaching as a dynamic process, where deep understanding takes precedence over rote memorization.

Richard
Private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisation
Hey! My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels. For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, and pedals, ...? I can help you with all that! Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;) I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example. The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else. Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible. See you soon! Richard PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something :)
