Music theory and harmony. From beginners to advanced students.

I specialise in teaching Music Theory and Harmony, as well as reading scores.  My goal is to create a strong base of knowledge which each student can use in critical thinking in the future.

I assign homework and explain everything that needs to be repeated, in order to ensure that the students have absorbed all of the information.

I follow ABRSM, AMEB, Berkeley and my own music theory programs.

Either you are a totally new person to music, you have been playing guitar or you want to get more deep knowledge of Music Theory and Harmony - I will share with you my knowledge and will help you to get to your goal.

About Me

Hello to everybody! My name is Ilona, and I'd like to introduce myself to you. I've been playing the cello for over 25 years and teaching for over 12. My goal is to teach you how to practice to get a successful result. The most important component of successful outcomes is effective practices."Play with thinking!" said one of my advanced students.

I can promise a guaranteed result in 3 months with regular lessons twice per week.

Before you begin learning the cello with me, you should understand two important concepts: when you play the cello, you use your body (arms, fingers) to create sound, and you use your soul and emotions to create music. We'll start by learning how to make sounds, which you'll later use to express your emotions.

Students who are preparing to pass exams for music college or conservatoire and who want to have 4-5 classes per week, please send me a message to talk about your program, deadlines etc.

If you don't see available time-slots, please send me a message and let me know your preferred time and day, and also the time-zone. I will find time for you!

My current students range in age from 8 to 51 years old and come from all over the world. Some of my students learn the cello for themselves, others for their overall development, and several students are preparing to enter music colleges and conservatories.

I have a Masters' Degree in Performing and Teaching Cello, psychological and pedagogical knowledge and more than 12 years of teaching experience. I've been working online since 2015.

Also, I can teach you music theory from Zero level until Reading Scores level in just 10-15 lessons. Why am I so sure? Because I have done it many times already.

Please, do not hesitate to ask me any questions you might have.

Wishing you all the best,

Ilona

Hi everyone! My name is Ilona. I am a professional cellist and a cello teacher with a Master’s degree. My teaching experience is more than 11 years, with 3 years experience of online teaching. Online learning how to play cello is completely acceptable for all levels and ages from 8 years old.  Either you are a Zero Beginner or you are preparing to pass entry exam to conservatory - I will explain you how to practice to become more effective on cello. My current students range in age from 8 to 51 years old and come from all over the world. I always work for results, so our lessons may be longer than an hour at times simply because we haven't completed the lesson plan (with no extra pay). Before you begin learning the cello with me, you should understand two important concepts: when you play the cello, you use your body (arms, fingers) to create sound, and you use your soul and emotions to create music. We'll start by learning how to make sounds, which you'll later use to express your emotions. Please do not hesitate to message me if you have any questions. I am currently only teaching online.

Ask a question

Send a message explaining your needs and Ilona will reply soon:
The more detail, the better.
Ex. "Hi, when are you available to meet for a lesson?"

Denise
Singing classes for all age students and different vocal styles (pop, folk or classical) Online or Offline in Vienna
Dear students: My name is Denise and I'm a professional singer with a singing master's degree from Catalonia's Music College (ESMUC) specialized in Historical Singing, Musicology and Music Education. My experience runs mostly in early and classical music with an active performing life, nevertheless I also have the experience and knowledge of popular musical styles such as Latin-American folk, jazz and musicals. As a docent or vocal coach I've collaborate with different academic institutions and private artistic projects, focusing mostly on international students or social integration programs. I have years of experience teaching children, teenagers and adults in both Latin-America and Europe, therefore understanding different appreciation levels and needs. My main goal is to help the student discover her or his voice while enjoying making music. **Class suggestions and indications** No experience is needed just bring your enthusiasm and favorite music. Classes can be given either in English, Spanish, French or Deutsch. There are no limit for styles, bring your favorite music and I will provide a safe environment for your personal and musical growth. For Children I strongly recommend the 45 min class since their attention span and body development is different from an adult. Feel free to contact me in case of further questions. I hope to read from you soon and to make music together. All my best, Denise P.S. My schedule is mostly a suggestion since I'm constantly editing and adapting to a work schedule, please feel free to send me a message regarding your schedule needs and suggestions in order to give you the best service.
