Professional cellist gives cello and theory lessons for all levels

I've spent my whole live practicing and playing cello and I can assure it's one of the most marvelous things one can do. Even if you struggle! I can teach either beginners or amateurs who want to get better at it, or higher level students who want to perfect their craft. Also, if you are somebody thinking about starting with this instrument, do not have any doubt!

I base myself on the teachings received from my teachers during all my years of study, in which I have always been especially interested in the importance of the figure of the teacher for the healthy development of students. I adapt to the technical and musical needs of each student, even if we start from 0, without prior musical knowledge.
We will work on every aspect of cello playing: Both hands' technique, posture, musical expression...
Musical theory, solfège, harmony, etc. are also possible!

I would like to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude for the fantastic experience during my first private cello lesson. Javier's dedication, passion and expertise have left a deep impression on me. Javiers' ability to convey complex musical concepts clearly and comprehensibly made the lesson not only educational but also extremely inspiring. Javiers' patience and encouragement have boosted my confidence and encouraged me to continue my musical journey. It is clear that Javier is not only an excellent musician, but also an exceptional teacher. Javiers' dedication to nurturing the talent of his students is admirable.

I have been playing and studying the cello for almost a lifetime and I can assure you that it is one of the most wonderful things that can be done. Even if it costs! I can teach both beginners or amateurs who want to improve their level, as well as advanced students who want to perfect their work. Also, if you are someone who is considering starting with this instrument, do not hesitate! We will work on all aspects of the execution: the technique of both hands, posture, relaxation, musical expressiveness ...
I have my own cello, played it and played it, and I can never forget it in one of the most beautiful things. Zelfs as ever as he can lift me! I can learn a lot of beginners from amateurs who he wants to become, as students of a high level who want to perfect themselves. Well, as no one bent the conqueror thinks about starting with the instrument, then you can't do it! I'm based on the reading that I've been learning about my learning, so I'm always interested in the interest in the subject of the figure and the learning for the development of the blanks. I'm going to start with the technical and musical techniques of the Leerling, as we start from 0, and then the music will be heard. We work on the same aspect of the cellospel: the technique of both hands, the sound, the musical expression...

The four main subjects are: The three overall principles – to ensure healthy sound production The four vocal modes – to choose the 'gear' you want to sing in. Sound colors – to make the sound lighter or darker. Effects – to achieve specific sound effects.

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 and currently I am studying a Posgraduate in Musical Performance Practice. 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! :)

Eva
Piano lessons or music lessons adapted to your level and interests
Customized lessons: Teaching beginning children, beginning adults, or experienced students are completely different experiences that require completely different methods. A constant focus in all cases is to ensure that students learn notation and music reading, which gives them some independence. As a first step, I create a plan together with the student, depending on his or her personal goals, and supplement this with musical pieces that I think will complement the learning path. Practical information: I am available for online classes from August and at home from September 15, but I will not close schedules until the beginning of October. If you have any questions or specific comments, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Pablo López
Improve your cello playing - Taught by Professional Cellist
Hello! My name is Pablo and I am a professional cellist. In my 20+ years playing the cello I have been lucky to build an international career as a solo and orchestral musician in places like Bremen (Germany), Sweden (Göteborg), Spain (Malaga), and Belgium (Gent). I have 4+ years worth of experience teaching online/in person, in multiple countries, as well as a C1 Cambridge certificate of English. I also have a B1 level of Nederlands. I have music articles published as well. My philosophy of teaching is to teach my students in a comprehensive way how to use their body 100% efficiently. I will teach them how to play in the most natural way, getting rid of tensions and fears in the process. I will tackle this as cello technique, but I will also work on being expresive and how to make the cello sing. Thank you for your time.

Erika
Songwriting lessons with vocal and songwriting coach
I view teaching vocals and songwriting as a therapeutic, holistic process, where my students learn techniques and practical tools that help them hone their craft, but also work through psychological blockages that make them into greater artists.

Imre
Private cello lessons for all ages, center of Ghent
Are you also so in love with the sound of the cello? Would you like to learn to play the cello? Go for it, I would say! For a year now I have been teaching at various music academies. I myself studied at the Royal Conservatory of Ghent. Creating music is a great passion. The necessary experience to map out a suitable path is therefore certainly there. I teach at my home (Centrum Ghent). If it is more convenient for the lesson to take place at the student's home, this is certainly possible. The duration of the lesson is decided by the student.

Alejandro
Cellist graduated in Musikene (Basque Country), offers to give private lessons in Gent. All ages.
After finishing my studies at the Conservatorio Superior de Música del País Vasco (Musikene), I am now in Ghent for my Master's degree at the Kask Konservatorium & School of Arts Ghent. I am eager to share the knowledge I have acquired and to help students who are really interested in advancing in the world of the cello, both musically and technically, as well as to transmit to my students the versatility of our instrument and its beauty. I focus especially on the relaxation of the body in order to find a good quality sound. Starting with a methodology adapted to the level of the student, together we can make great progress in the subject! Sometimes one can forget how important the use of the body is and how the right use can make everything easier, that's why I like to introduce my students to different fields related to body and mental relaxation.
