Cello lessons for children (English, Russian, Ukrainian)

From 46 € /h

I’m an enthusiastic Cellist from Ukraine specialized in teaching children. I have a pedagogy education from the Dnipro Academy of Music and want to show your children how much fun it is to learn to play cello, learning the right technique and feeling the music. In Ukraine I studied with Artem Poludennyi, one of the best Cellists of Ukraine, who performs as Soloist with all major Ukrainian orchestras and internationally. Here in Belgium I completed my Master at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels with the famous Cellist Jeroen Reuling, and currently finishing my 2nd master degree in Namur with Pierre Fontenelle.
I teach at home in Ixelles or can come to your house in Brussels or Namur.

Despite my focus on teaching children, I’m also happy to accept adult students.

Don’t feel shy to contact me if you have questions.
Valeriia

I will be a hundred cellos,
all in one.
I will play – I will sing,
I'll have fun.

I'll describe a murky rainforest,
with the rhythm in my soul.
I'll be a thunderous storm,
It's my only goal.

And when I'm done with my few songs,
People stand: applause.
I'll smile and bow down with thanks,
It's my only cause.

Extra information

If you don’t yet own a cello, it is possible to rent a cello at first.

" UNIQUE "
What if telling your story with music could be fun and playful?

Don't waste hours going around in circles, constantly searching for videos on YouTube to learn in a simple and structured way.

To finally be able to express your feelings, your emotions, all through the guitar?

It's possible! And what we'll see through my lessons: you'll learn how to tune the instrument, practice its first chords, and quickly play your first songs.

Develop your ear and musical identity by exploring styles such as pop, rock, country, blues, jazz, bossa nova, funk just to name a few.

Discover and explore the richness of scales and modes to combine them with playing expressions like hammer-ons, pull-offs, legato, bends... Does that sound like Chinese to you? I understand. Through my lessons, all of this will no longer hold any secrets for you!

Whether you have no experience or a few weeks of practice under your belt, we will go step by step, taking into account your level, so that you progress at your own pace.

Without forgetting the most important thing: have fun!

Learn ukulele with me in Brussels. The ukulele's small size, lightweight, and strings that are easy to press down make this instrument one of the easiest to play. Learning to play the ukulele can deliver huge benefits including improved memory, coordination, and stress relief to everyone ranging from small children to seniors. The ukulele is also one of the easiest stringed instruments to learn to play, making it an excellent stepping stone for other stringed instruments like the guitar.

Our teacher using, if necessary, an electro-acoustic guitar to better accompany your voice and guide some of its subtleties, the teaching philosophy is adapted to each level, according to the pace of work and motivation.

Program :
- musical techniques: theory (examples: support, modes, colors, effects such as vibrato, etc.) automatically followed, for each of the exercises, by practice (examples: exercises focusing on accuracy, sound production, "mountains Russian ", time, note hold, diction, vowels etc.)
- work on breathing and breathing management
- body awareness
- stability
- resonance
- improvisation / free expression
- improved vocal comfort
- varied repertoire (adapting to your preference)
- well-being by the vibration of the voice
- personal or artistic development - accuracy, note keeping and precision - vocal modes including timbre
- volumes: softness and power - sound colors: from dark to light - vocal effects, range requirements - nuances: volumes, mimics, attitudes, sound quality - exploration of musical styles (folk, pop, classical, blues, rock, song, World music ...)
- improvisation, effects and vocal games, harmonies
-interpretation: work on emotions, body language, stage presence.

Objective: acquire a solid vocal technique allowing you to sing with accuracy, ease and expressiveness.

Musical learning meanwhile, will develop your ability to listen and reproduce music, your sense of rhythm, your expressiveness, your creativity and musicality as well as reading sheet music.

This progressive and tailor-made method aims to develop your voice:
-Breathing techniques
-Vocalises and technical exercises adapted to needs;

TEACHER / TRAINER

Trained in Grandes Ecoles in France and the United States (Ivy League University), our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in North America and Europe, in the field, in international establishments renowned, and oriented on one axis: effective training with pedagogy and meticulous methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES, FEES
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

A violinist since childhood, I long viewed music theory as a constraint before discovering its magic. Today, music theory has become a true passion for me, one that I have enthusiastically shared since I was 16.

My goal? To help students reconnect with music theory so they can fully flourish on their instrument. Whether starting from scratch or needing intensive review before an exam, I adapt my teaching methods to make concepts clear and engaging. Together, we'll transform notes on paper into music!
