Cello Lessons/ Cello Unterricht - For all levels and ages

From 68.03 £ /h

Hi there :)

I am offering private cello lessons for all ages, beginners to advanced. Available in person in Basel or online.

My name is Idil, I am a cellist from Portugal and Turkey, based in Basel.

I have experience with teaching both children and adults. I like to approach the lessons in a fun, interactive and creative way, while developing and honing technical skills. I like to play together with my students during the lessons and I also give basic music theory foundations.

I find essential adapting to each person's individual needs and musical preferences, so that you feel inspired and motivated playing the music you're passionate about.

The lessons are offered in English, Portuguese, Turkish or German.

The lessons can be 30, 45 or 60 mins, according to each persons needs and preferences (and the price will also be adjusted accordingly).

Please don't hesitate to contact me for further questions,

Hope to see you soon!
Idil

🎻 Cello and chamber music lessons in Basel & Online
For beginners, advanced students, professionals and amateurs
Teaching languages: German, English, French & Russian

🌟 Individual music lessons that inspire!

About me:
🎼Degrees from the music academies of Geneva and Basel
🎼Cellist of the Arda String Quartet, in the Ensemble Symphonique de Genève,
🎼Baroque cellist
🎼Over 10 years of teaching experience
🎼3 years as an assistant professor

For all levels:

- 🎶 Beginners: take your first steps on the cello and build a solid foundation
- 🎶 Advanced: improve technique and refine musical interpretation
- 🎶 Hobby musicians: work on orchestral, chamber music and solo repertoire, cello duos with me.

My name is Clara and I'm a cellist, teacher, and performer in Basel. I'm active in many different genres myself, which is why I can teach a wide variety of things on the cello :) It's important to me to create a learning atmosphere where both student and teacher feel comfortable. Student and teacher should meet as equals, as learning is most effective in a trusting environment.

Where do I come from musically?

It has always been important to me to explore all the possibilities my instrument offers. And to be honest, I'm not finished yet; the cello has so many facets to discover! I've already tried many different styles. I completed my Master's degree in Contemporary Music at the Basel Academy of Music in 2025. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Artistic Pedagogy in Freiburg. This gives me a solid foundation for teaching the instrument in a playful way and for unlocking the creativity of my students.

Can you also find me on stage?

Yes, mostly with my jazzy indie-pop band "Partiprivati". We write our own songs and I'm usually responsible for a good bassline :)

But also with Percaso String Quartet, with whom we only play string quartet works by women.

Or in Ensemble IPSO, a music theater project in which we try to blend the boundaries between music, theater and dance.

And always with solo performances at vernissages.

I have a solidarity pricing system, if it concerns you, feel free to write :)
Lessons at the student’s home and preferably in Riehen.
