LESSONS

FROM BEGINNER TO ADVANCED

No previous experience is needed. Whether you are holding a cello for the first time or looking to refine your technique and musical expression, these lessons are adapted to your current level and goals.

FOR ALL AGES

Children, teenagers and adults are all welcome.

Every age comes with its own way of learning, and lessons are adapted to meet those needs. With younger students, I use a more playful and imaginative approach, incorporating games and creative activities alongside the fundamentals of cello playing. The goal is to make the learning process enjoyable while naturally developing good musical and technical habits from the very beginning.

For teenagers and adults, lessons are shaped around individual interests, experience and goals; from discovering the cello for the first time to returning to the instrument, developing existing skills or preparing for a specific musical challenge.

It is never too early or too late to start playing the cello!

IN PERSON · GHENT (BELGIUM) 

Individual and group cello lessons in a bright and peaceful studio in the centre of Ghent. A learning space that feels like home, where students can feel comfortable, focused and free to learn.

Convenient location accessible by public transport or car, with parking options nearby.

AT YOUR HOME

Home lessons are possible upon request, depending on location and availability.

ONLINE

Online lessons available for students who live further away or prefer the flexibility of learning from home.

I regularly teach students online from different parts of the world, including complete beginners, and many have discovered that online lessons can offer much more than they initially expected.

No worries, no expensive or specialised equipment is needed. 

The same personalised approach, from wherever you are.

IN PERSON · RIBEIRA (SPAIN) 

Lessons are also available in Ribeira during the holiday periods in July, August and Christmas.

INDIVIDUAL LESSONS

Personalized lessons designed around your needs, interests and goals.

GROUP LESSONS

Group lessons with other cello students. A wonderful way to discover the joy of learning and playing together.

EXTRA SUPPORT

For students already attending a music academy who want to benefit from additional lessons or more individual attention.

MUSIC THEORY, SOLFÈGE & EAR TRAINING 

Individual or group lessons in music theory, solfège and ear training are available for those students who want to develop a stronger understanding of rhythm, notation, harmony and musical language.

ENTRANCE EXAMS

Preparation for conservatory entrance auditions and examinations.

COMPETITIONS

Repertoire, technique, performance preparation and audition coaching.

ORCHESTRA AUDITIONS

Guidance and preparation for youth orchestra auditions.

TECHNICAL FOUNDATION 

Developing control, coordination and precision in every aspect of playing, from the bow and left hand to shifting, articulation and sound production, so that technical skills become increasingly natural and reliable. Building a secure and strong technique that allows students to approach increasingly demanding repertoire with confidence and freedom. 

UNDERSTANDING

I focus in understanding the how and the why behind what we do. The goal is not simply to play difficult passages, but to understand how to approach them, identify what is preventing us from playing them freely and find effective solutions. 

INDEPENDENCE

My goal is not simply to help you play a piece correctly, but to give you the tools to understand how to practise independently and efficiently.

BODY AWARENESS

We pay close attention to posture, movement and relaxation, developing awareness of the body and avoiding unnecessary tension while playing.

LISTENING & INTONATION

We work on listening carefully, developing a strong sense of pitch and learning to recognize and improve intonation.

YOUR MUSICAL VOICE

Technique is a tool for musical expression. My aim is to help each student develop their own musical voice, personality and way of communicating through the cello.

YOUR SCHEDULE, YOUR PACE

Not everyone can commit to the same weekly schedule. I offer flexible scheduling for students whose availability changes from week to week, as well as the possibility to choose how frequently you would like to have lessons.

Weekly · Biweekly · Flexible

30 min · 1 hour · 1.5 hours · 2 hours

NO CELLO YET? DIFFICULTY TO BRING YOUR CELLO TO THE LESSONS?

You can rent a cello to use during our lessons before deciding whether you are ready to invest in your own instrument.

This is also a convenient option for students who have difficulty transporting their own cello to the lessons.

A full-size 4/4 cello and a smaller 1/2 cello for younger students are available to rent. 

FROM PRACTICE TO PERFORMANCE 

Learning an instrument is not only about what happens during the lessons! Whether you want to perform your favourite piece, challenge yourself or simply experience what it feels like to play on stage, these concerts are a chance to put your work into practice and enjoy making music together.

Profit from the opportunity to gain confidence, develop performance skills, experience the excitement of playing for an audience and celebrate each student's progress in a supportive atmosphere.

Performing is always optional, the goal is to make it an enjoyable and rewarding experience, never a source of pressure.
