I am a cellist, composer, and member of the world-renowned Rastrelli Cello Quartett. With over 25 years of international stage experience – performing at venues such as the Berliner Philharmonie, the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, and the Suntory Hall Tokyo – I now share my knowledge with students worldwide through online lessons. My teaching is tailored to all levels, from beginners to advanced students preparing for professional auditions.*
My approach combines decades of practical stage experience with a personalized, student-centered methodology. I place special emphasis on sound culture, bow technique, intonation, interpretation, and musical expression – elements that are often neglected in purely theoretical teaching.
A typical lesson begins with focused technical exercises (scales, etudes, bowing patterns), followed by in-depth work on a piece chosen by the student. I adapt to each student's individual goals – whether you are a beginner discovering the cello, a returning player after a long break, or an advanced student preparing for an orchestral audition or conservatory entrance exam. As an active orchestral musician, I know the demands and procedures of auditions firsthand and can offer you invaluable practical insights.
I also help students overcome stage fright and performance anxiety through breath control, mental practice, and visualization strategies – skills I rely on daily as a performer.
My lessons take place exclusively live online via Zoom or any platform of your choice – flexible, location-independent, and with excellent audio quality. This way, you can benefit from my experience no matter where you are in the world.
