Bernadette - experienced and accredited cello teacher in Aix centre-ville. 5 minute walk from La Rotonde. After 20+ years of practice and 18 years as a cello teacher in various Australian and UK schools as well as privately (since 2005), I can teach in English or in French. With this experience of teaching and sharing my passion for the cello, I offer lessons tailored to individual needs: -Ages: 5 years to adult -Beginners to advanced -Prep exams, conservatory/school admissions, auditions, competitions -Lessons for fun or leisure -Perfecting all aspects of technique -Revisiting or starting the basics -Adaptable to all levels, all learning styles, all tastes, using a variety of methods. I have completed both a Master and Bachelor of Performance at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music where I also studied String Pedagogy and completed Music Theory (Solfege, Harmony and Aural, Music History, etc.). I was then a member of several professional orchestras, performing with the Auckland Phil (New Zealand) and Southbank Sinfonia (London). I am currently in Aix-en-Provence where I am perfecting my French and preparing for future auditions. I will be happy to provide you with my full resumé and/or recordings to my playing if you desire. ** Please note: Schedule is very often totally booked.
