Über mich

Hi, my name is Lih and I have been playing cello for over 40 years! With a background in classical music - my career has taken me to stages all over the world.
Cello/loopstation work

As a performer, I've been a cellist who has been sought after for her Loop station cello performances. I use various pedals and effects to create pieces that explore the full vocal and percussive range of the cello, combining intricately shifting textures, cinematic orchestration with soundscape. I work with a large palette that shifts effortlessly between modern classical, krautrock, sonic environment and electronica. I've created and performed live soundtracks for dance theatre and new circus productions, and toured all over the world, playing venues such as The Barbican ( London), Queens Hall Southbank (London), Apollo Theatre (London) Stanisklavsky Theatre for Bolshoi Danceinversion festival ( Moscow), La Philharmonie and La Seine Musicale (Paris), Zorlu Arts Centre (Istanbul), SESC theatre (Sao Paulo), and working with the famous choreographer Yan Li Ping to create the Chinese/Berlin fusion opera ‘Dynamic Huang Shang’.

I also toured internationally with bands such as Agnes Obel, Raz O’hara, Die Wilde Jagd and Federico Albanese.

Hi my name is Anne.

I play the violin and the viola and I have studied at the conservatory at ArtEZ Jazz & Pop.

During my studies I started to build by violin teacher practice. Apart from my private students I taught at the music school "Muziekdorp" in Wijchen and coached a band of high school students for a year.
Next to teaching I play concerts with the "Metropole Academy", I have a string quartet "The Four Frogs in te Woods", and I'm playing in a Folk string duo.

Students of all ages and categories are welcome in my lesson.
Classical, Folk, Rock, Pop, Jazz, and free improvisation are some of the genres you can discover in our lessons.
I did a Teacher Training with the American Violinist Mark O'Connor and finished this training with a diploma. His method is a very beautiful and comprehensive way to learn the variety of the violinistic possibilities.

We will play a lot of music together.
Starting with a correct violin posture you will develop a brought variety of techniques to find your own style.

Being able to play an instrument is an enrichment for everyone!

I would be happy to meet you.

Anne

The hours are designed according to your musical interests. Since each person has his or her own individual approach to music, it is logical and, in my experience, more effective to work with this in a specific way. So, instead of a rigid curriculum in which you lose interest in a short time, I would like to support you in achieving your personal plans and discovering musical possibilities!

Depending on your interests, motivation, previous knowledge and musical taste, the following focal points are coordinated:
Technique (tone formation, breathing, approach, intonation, finger technique, etc.), ear training, sense of rhythm, improvisation, note reading, music theory.

The focus is all about enjoying the music. Its naver late to learn.

Cello lessons for all ages, levels, and styles.
No previous knowledge of music is required.

In my lessons, I offer you a pleasant and effective way to connect your body and mind with the cello. You'll quickly learn how to resolve a difficult passage, identify the cause of a problem, clarify questions about music theory, and integrate all of this into your playing with a sense of physical ease—so that you feel comfortable and can enjoy the music you create.

If you are just starting out on the cello, this will be your starting point and foundation to get you started.
And if you already have experience, my lessons will serve as a deepening experience and help you incorporate new elements into your playing that will make making music easier.

It's a great joy for me to accompany each of my students on their journey of learning this wonderful instrument. I give my best in every moment and approach each student individually – up to the level you wish to achieve.

✨ I look forward to getting to know you and starting this musical journey together!

Together we can develop your skill as a cello player, building a strong technical and musical foundation. We will find a learning style that best suits you. We can study the cello repertoire and traditional techniques and we can also explore the cello in less traditional ways - improvising, writing music, using electronics and combining it with other instruments.

Are you curious about learning the cello, or eager to expand your playing into new sonic territories? I’m Dalai, a Greek-Mongolian cellist, singer, and composer based between Berlin and Melbourne. I offer private lessons to students of all ages and levels — from children picking up their first string, to experienced players seeking creative growth.

🎻 What I Teach & How

Fundamental technique & musicality — proper posture, bowing, intonation, phrasing

Classical & contemporary repertoire — from Bach to modern works

Improvisation, composition & creative exploration — help you develop your own voice

Electric / effects / extended cello techniques — looping, pedals, sound design

Voice + cello integration, recording & performance coaching

Stage presence & confidence building — preparing for recitals, studio work, or collaborative projects

My lessons are highly individualized. I adapt to your pace, interests, and goals. I value curiosity and experimentation: we’ll combine structure with freedom so you can grow technically and artistically.

🌍 My Experience & Why I Teach

I studied Classical Cello with distinction in Athens and trained further with eminent teachers such as Dimitrios Gouzios, Catalin Ilea, and Lucio Amanti. Since relocating to Berlin in 2008, I’ve been immersed in experimental, free jazz, and contemporary music scenes.

I perform in projects like Black Veil and Antiqva, have composed for theater (including The Robbers at Meiningen National Theater), and worked in film & art productions collaborating with composers like Johnny Klimek and Mario Grigorov.

Teaching is a core part of my musical mission. I believe technique should serve expression — and that every student’s voice is unique. Whether your goal is mastery of classical works, sonic experimentation, or composing your own music, I aim to support your growth with clarity, empathy, and creative openness.

This class introduces the core concepts of film scoring and how music shapes story, emotion, and narrative in film and television. Students will learn how to support and move images through music, exploring timing, mood, theme, and structure. Lessons are tailored to each student’s interests and level, from complete beginners to advanced composers, and can focus on electronic, orchestral, or hybrid approaches.

The course also includes analysis and deconstruction of existing film scores to understand compositional techniques and storytelling strategies. Students will learn how to set up and optimize their digital audio workstation for film scoring, define personal creative goals, and work with industry-standard orchestral sample libraries and synthesizers such as Spitfire Audio, Orchestral Tools, and Cinematic Studio Series. Films with sound design and no music can be provided for hands-on scoring exercises, enabling practical experience working directly to picture.
