Professional Cello Teacher – Results-Oriented, Technique-Focused, Mindful Approach

Van 72 $ /h

I am a dedicated and experienced cello teacher with a strong emphasis on deep technique, mindful body control, and cultivating the right mindset. Whether you're preparing for an exam (AMEB, ABRSM, RCM), a concert, an audition, a scholarship, or simply learning for joy or personal fulfillment, I will guide you or your child toward your musical goals.

I began teaching cello at the age of 17, and now have over 20 years of experience. Since 2015, I have specialized in online instruction, and for the past six years, I’ve taught full-time online. I've developed a refined method that ensures healthy playing habits and correct posture, especially important for adult learners who are just starting out or returning to the instrument.

Qualifications:

Master’s Degree in Cello Performance and Pedagogy
Trained in conducting, music theory, and ensemble instruction
Certified Art Therapist and Art Coach
I am also the founder of Cello and Friends, an online platform where I share my reflections, teaching insights, and personal experiences as a cello teacher through my blog.

My students range in age from 8 to 68 and come from all over the world. Some study for personal development, while others are preparing for entry into conservatories and music colleges.

In addition to cello, I teach music theory—from the basics to advanced jazz harmony—and offer support to young composers working on their own music.

I personally enjoy yoga, the Adriatic Sea in Croatia, mountains without internet connection, walking with my dog in the forest, and good music.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d be happy to help you begin or continue your journey with the cello.

Hello to everyone!
My name is María, I am a Venezuelan Cellist.
All my musical education was inside the musical program "El Sistema" in Venezuela. This education was based on preparing myself as a better human being though playing cello in orchestras, chamber music and as soloist.
I am current studying my Master degree at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel.
In what consist my lessons?
Cello classes for all levels (beginner, intermediate and advanced), it does not matter if you have never played cello before or if you are already studying, the important thing is to help you achieve the goals you want with this beautiful instrument.
To have better results with practice, if it is necessary to help you with music theory, I will help you.
As well, if you're looking for help in orchestral excerpts for auditions, I'm here for you!
For kids, parental support is also important during some lesson, we are all a team and we need to work together to achieve the goals!
Classes can be in person at your house or mine (BRUSSELS, BELGIUM) or via videocall (Skype, Zoom, etc). The schedules are planned according to the time of the student and the teacher.

Looking forward to meeting you and work together!
Maria.

Tailor-made cello lessons for all ages and levels!
Currently via webcam

I studied at the conservatories of Antwerp and Ghent and obtained my master's degree as a performing musician and my diploma in specific teacher training. In addition to experience as a performing musician, I am also active as a teacher of solfège and cello. I have experience as a teacher with children and adults.

Would you like to learn to play the cello? Or would you like to improve your technique? Be sure to send me a message and we will make a schedule based on your wishes, agenda and interests! Being able to read notes is not a must, we can also tackle this during the lessons.

Solfège and music theory lessons are also possible!

Do you think cello is a beautiful instrument and would you like to get to know this instrument? Or have you taken cello lessons for several years and would you like to learn new things, improve your basic technique or get to know new music? Or would you like to learn to read notes, learn more about different keys and the history of music? I can certainly help you with that! Music was brought up to me and, with my master's degree in my pocket, I have the necessary knowledge and experience to accompany you at your own pace in your musical journey.
I specialize in cello, but I can also help you with solfège and music theory. If you would like to focus on one of the above courses, please do not hesitate to contact me. I would be happy to guide you at your own pace!

Hello!
I am Irene, a graduated Master student at HKU Utrecht Conservatorium, and I offer cello lessons to people of all ages, both online and in person.
I have more than 7 years of experience teaching both adults and children, in private lessons, group lessons and music schools.
I have also taught music theory and piano to beginners.
The lessons could work in different ways: regular lessons every one or two weeks, or just a couple of times, etc. I have had students that only wanted to learn a bit, and I also have students that have continued for some years with me. I could also adjust the duration of the lessons from 30mins (especially for younger kids) to 1h.
The lessons can be in English and Spanish, and now also in Nederlands! (work in progress!)
The lesson can be in the student's home or in my studio in Vogelenbuurt, and also online! Flexible hours.
I give personalised attention and methods to each one of my students, as everyone is different!

If you have questions, please contact me!
I hope to see you soon!

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 10 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! :)

Lessons can take place at my home in a centre of Amsterdam or yours.I'm open to all musical styles and always aim to tailor my teaching to each individual student—because everyone learns differently, and everyone is unique.

Cello is the most beautiful instrument there is. From low growling to singing like a bird, everything is possible on the four strings of this bowed instrument. The lesson focuses on technical challenges, and musical vision and development. From Bach's suites through romantic etudes to contemporary music, there is a wonderful repertoire. Let's discover this together and see what suits you.

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!

Cello lessons (possibly combined with cello rental) are offered; I teach in Dutch and English to both children and adults. Lessons are offered at my home in Eindhoven, and in the surrounding area, lessons can also be delivered to the student's home, with a reasonable travel allowance. Home lessons are primarily intended for children and people with limited mobility (at an additional cost/car expenses).

You can also rent a cello from me to see if the instrument suits you. Rentals are only available in conjunction with lessons!

Customized for every student, I match your level and interests.
In addition to general cello lessons, I teach tone formation, improvisation, and electric cello at an advanced level.
