Gala's approach is pragmatic and I like that. During the first lesson, after being introduced to the cello, some theory first. And soon I was allowed to play with practical pointers from Gala. At the end Gala also played along and that was really fun.

My first set of lessons were really great and I will definitely take more. I came in as a beginner and in every lesson Gala helped me make meaningful progress step by step. She is also very encouraging, motivating and playful during the lessons. Even if at times you just practice fundamental motions without using note sheets, if she's not actively giving feedback she will improvise to play along with you. Learning and playing with her always ends up being fun.
I just started as a total beginner and had a great first lesson with Gala. She is very well prepared and organised and explains clearly. She doesn't only have the passion for cello but also for teaching. Thank you!
It is a joy having cello lessons from Gala. Besides teaching how to play it, she knows a lot about cognitive skills and how to use them for playing an instrument. Always sharing her responses on questions and patient with learning pace. She is flexible on circumstances such as day&time and location of lessons. Highly recommended!
Excellent teacher, gala understands everything I ask, even if I don't know how to describe the problem properly :) would definitely recommend
...
Music is a kind of magic. Too often we approach classical instruments, such as cello, in too conservative a way. We immediately picture musicians in funny clothes with white wigs. Or men dressed like penguins and women in funeral black. Music is much more than that. It's fun and I'll show you. Music is so much more than boring exercises. First of all, it's about having fun and playing what YOU want. Movie Music, pop / rock songs, etc. In addition, music can help develop important skills such as creativity, collaboration, decision-making, sense of responsibility and many others. Everything is possible on the cello. Let's find out together!

Sergio
Higher Graduate (with masters) in Cello and Conducting teaches music at all levels
My teaching method is scrupulously adapted to each student I have, regardless of the subject to work on (musical language, cello, music history, analysis, conducting, etc.) I always apply the Belgian teaching model, where I trained with my master's degrees in Conducting (Antwerp) and Historical Cello (Brussels). According to this model, the main thing is a living and practical teaching, taking understanding and not memory as the main learning engine.

Miriam
CELLO & MUSIC LESSONS FOR ALL AGES AND LEVELS WITH A PROFESSIONAL CELLIST WITH 8 YEARS OF TEACHING EXPERIENCE (IN PERSON AND ONLINE)
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 8 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! :)

Paula
Cello and music theory - instructions for beginners and intermediate students.
Music is very interesting both as a profession and as a hobby, but in the beginning we all face difficulties when it comes to playing an instrument. But with a little guidance, hard work and patience you can get the results you want... it's proven :) My name is Paula, I'm 25 years old and I enjoy teaching and working with enthusiastic people, because as I said, teaching others is actually teaching yourself ;). My field of study is music interpretation (cello), at the Ghent Conservatory. The way of teaching will suit the level of the student (for beginners I divide the lessons into two parts: half basic music theory and the other half cello), and I will always have my cello with me to illustrate. If you are interested in playing this beautiful instrument, do not hesitate to write to me. And never forget: music is beautiful, not difficult.

Anna
Playing the cello makes you beautiful both inside and outside!
Hello, my name is Anna, and I’ve been playing the cello for 22 years. I have a masters degree both in performative arts and teaching cello from the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest, Hungary. I have acquired a wide range of tools to inspire my pupils individually in their step-by-step development. I teach learners of all ages and levels, my students are 5-60 years old, from beginner to advanced. When I was 15, my cello teacher asked me to teach her younger pupils. I was enthusiastic of teaching, and I still have the same enthusiasm, but much more knowledge and experience. Playing the cello makes you beautiful both inside and outside! While playing the cello, I pay attention to the music, my technique, my body and my emotions. I focus on the same aspects while teaching, so we will improve your musical and technical abilities, as well as your awareness of your own body and emotions. These can (and should) be improved regardless of age and level so if you're interested, sign up for my cello lessons!

Osian
Cello, singing and theory lessons from bilingual Welsh and English speaker
Hi my name is Osian and I’m a cellist from South Wales. I’ve taught children of many ages and standards and I really feel privileged to be a part of someone’s musical and personal development. Music lessons can be a way of reaching the concert platform or it could be a way of expressing yourself and being creative, wether it’s a career path or not. I grew up playing and singing where my first priority was to fall in love with music and learn to perform it to the best standard that I could do and that’s what I’d like to encourage my students to aim for too. I’m a BMus Hons Scholar from The Royal Academy of Music and I’m not studying at a masters lever at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.

Maksim
[Skype, Face Time, Zoom] Online cello lessons from the teacher Frankfurt/Darmstadt/Mannheim, beginner-advanced
I study at the Musikhochschule Mannheim and at the Blackmore Academy Berlin. I have worked both as an orchestra musician with renowned orchestras such as the Hr-Symphonieorchester and the Museumsorchester Frankfurt and also as a soloist with the Geringas Chamber Orchestra. I have attended many international courses with, among others: David Geringas, Reinhard Latzko, Jan Ickert and Martti Rousi. I teach in German, Russian and English. I design the lessons according to the student's wishes. I am particularly interested in further development in order to cope with increasingly difficult tasks, for example the section leader in the orchestra. I attach great importance to literature from all stylistic epochs from baroque to modern, including popular music. I like to teach beginners according to Gabriel Koeppen's cello school, volumes 1-3 and the Suzuki method. I regularly arrange works for my students' cello sambles and, at the request of the students, music that has not yet been rewritten for cello.
