Learn to play the cello and piano in Bern, Biel/Bienne, and Lyss. Tutoring for children, teenagers, and adults.

From 57.31 € /h

The cello has a unique sound that changes depending on the style you are interpreting.

For example, baroque and contemporary music differ greatly in their interpretation and playing style. What musical styles do you enjoy playing most on the cello? I'd be happy to help you play your favorite pieces from pop, world, or classical music, and make your lessons interesting and motivating. Thanks to the instrument, you can convey the full depths of human emotion, which will make music even more beloved and stay in your heart for a lifetime.

Extra information

I also offer basic music theory classes, which are also very important for playing.

About Me

In my courses, I cover a variety of key areas essential for a solid understanding of music theory. These include strategies for identifying intervals, chords, and rhythms; taking musical dictation in the treble clef; notating chords; sight-reading melodies; and writing chromatic scales and other musical elements. These skills are fundamental to practical application on an instrument, as they help you analyze and interpret musical scores and develop musical expression.

Would you like to start playing the violin and have regular support? Would you like to learn a specific piece? Would you like to improve your skills or do you have questions about a specific topic? Contact me and we will define your goals and set up a learning method together.

I have many methods and pieces of all levels and styles that we will choose according to your progress and your tastes.

During the class we will perfect the pieces studied, we will do small technical exercises and we will learn new pieces. I will answer your questions and I will give you the work to do for the next time.

Calm, smiling and serious by nature, I am keen to create a relaxed and fun atmosphere which will allow you to learn the violin pleasantly and regularly.

My name is Nikolai and I am a professional flautist. I have been in this wonderful field for 14 years and am always moving forward. I come from Saint Petersburg, where I graduated from the classical lyceum "Kikin Hall" and the Rimsky-Korsakov State Conservatory. I have been in Switzerland for three years and during this time I have completed Bachler classical music at the University of the Arts and am now enrolled in the Master Pedagogue at the HKB. I have been teaching transverse flute at the Schmitten and Niederscherli music school for 2 years and I have been teaching privately for 5 years.

My course is extremely flexible - we can work with songs and songs you love, as well as the most difficult etudes and large repertoire pieces. But what always remains is a good mood, a friendly atmosphere, professional methods (correct position of the instrument, correct breathing and easy technique) and joy in music!

Would you like to learn to play the trombone and have fun doing it? Do you already play the trombone but want to continue learning? I am a versatile trombonist who can adapt to your needs.

I have been teaching in music schools and privately for eight years. But not only with my instrument. I have also worked as a music theory teacher or as a conductor.

With my training in both classical and jazz music, we can not only learn different styles with the trombone, but also cover other subjects such as harmony, analysis or solfeggio.

I offer flexible lessons in which I adapt to your wishes and interests and we have fun with the music together.

The trial lesson is free!

Do not hesitate to contact me, we will have a great time!

Individual clarinet lessons for children and adults (all levels (English, German, Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian)).
Available online as well!

I believe that all knowledge comes with a price of a change which then provokes us again to start learning ourselves and finding the best possible ways of expression.

On the other side, my pedagogical idea is to allow pupils/students to explore themselves and to give them enough space and possibilities to try out, risk, and eventually find their way of communicating.

Also, my aim as a teacher is to show that the process of learning and exploring is always, if done properly, first of all, an exploration of oneself, and therefore, cannot and should not become a dull process of receiving information without an obvious purpose.

My experience as a teacher has shown me that between very young (5-12) and older people (19-27), (the age groups with whom I have worked), there is actually no big difference and that the only thing which separates the teaching process is the approach towards them as personalities.

With this said and including the fact that I am experienced in working with both groups of people, I over in my add lessons to everybody, without age or skill difference.

I am fluent in all clarinets from the clarinet family including the baroque clarinet and the contrabass clarinet.

I am happy to be able to give joy and confidence in piano playing to each person who is interested, no matter what level, nor age that person has!:)
As a certified teacher ( I fulfilled my BA of piano performance and instrumental teaching in Austria, currently studying a MA), the main points of my teaching focus on the following aspects;
-teaching different stiles (ex pop songs) with the main focus on classical piano
-adapting the methods to each student in an individual way
-focusing on the physical (body contact, relaxation, "healthy playing")
and psychological well-being (reassuring the confidence, building a
foundation for a creative development) of the students
-varying from "notes playing" to improvisation, musical dialogues
and duets
-presenting a clear, yet detailed, colorful way of each piece as an
argument for the student's own understanding/perception regarding it
-approaching and developing technique from musicality
-respecting, supporting and effectively communicating with each
student
I offer Piano lessons, as well as auxiliare music subjects such as music theory, harmony, music history.

Music theory, an essential subject to deeply understand music.
As I am Hungarian, I studied the Kodály method. It is a rather special method which is characterized by a lot of singing, creativity and rhythmic games, which was invented for the education of the people, not for the musical elite. Its effectiveness is proven by many musicians who have grown up in this extraordinary system.
During the lessons we would do several types of exercises:
- listening exercises
- writing exercises
- sing songs, melodies, chords, intervals...
(I am flexible regarding this subject, the student can advise activities/subjects (ex: history of music...))

The goal:
- find the connection between musicality-instrument-theory
- improve ear (absolute/relative), sight-reading, musicality, theoretical knowledge

Learn to play the flute! First, we will focus on the sound production, the position of the mouthpiece and your posture. Then we will deal with playful pieces, we can play in duet and play melodies that you like. Playing the flute will help you develop your memory, hearing and breathing skills.

During the meetings we will work on three well distinguished areas: technique, improvisation and the interpretation of written pieces. In our first encounters, we will establish clear goals, such as securing a repertoire and/or developing specific skills. According to the each musician's needs and intentions, we will discuss topics of music theory, practice ear training and even compose new pieces.

Over the years, I have collected and created a broad variety of materials and exercises and am constantly gathering and tailoring new ones for the attendants. My approach goes beyond the limitations of musical styles. Whether its European Classical, mainstream Pop, Indie Rock, a Latin-American Folk genre or Jazz, all music can be well performed when it is adequately approached and researched.

Looking forward to meeting!

My focus is on the styles of rock/pop/jazz and improvisation. I would also be happy to delve into music theory and show you the basics (and beyond...) of harmony.

If you're not a grader, it doesn't matter! My first piano lessons were very note based and almost ruined my playing! I'm a firm believer that playing songs by ear from the start helps us absorb songs faster. Of course, the eyes also work and shape patterns, figures and tone sequences on the fretboard or. on the keyboard. Of course, I would also be happy to teach you how to read music.

I welcome applications of all ages and levels who would like to learn cello playing in a personalized way through different methods.
After obtaining my Master’s degree in performance orientation, I am currently doing my Master's degree in instrumental pedagogy at the Hochschule der Künste in Bern. My goal is to guide my students in the discovery of the cello repertoire and technique by using innovative learning methods and the synthesis of the different styles of music.
