The cello has a unique sound that changes depending on the style you are interpreting.

For example, baroque and contemporary music differ greatly in their interpretation and playing style. What musical styles do you enjoy playing most on the cello? I'd be happy to help you play your favorite pieces from pop, world, or classical music, and make your lessons interesting and motivating. Thanks to the instrument, you can convey the full depths of human emotion, which will make music even more beloved and stay in your heart for a lifetime.

✨ What to expect?✨

🌻 She is an experienced, patient and committed teacher and musician with a Bachelor’s degree on Jazz Piano and currently studying a masters in composition at HKB.

🌼 Different styles (jazz, classical, pop, world music...)

🌸 Personalized and tailored lessons for all ages and levels.

🌺 Technique, improvisation, harmony, composition, rhythm, music reading, accompaniment for singers...

🎶 What’s stopping you from mastering that song you love?🎶


✏️TEACHING CONCEPT. ✏️

💡 I like to approach music as a language. Just as we learn to speak by first listening,
understanding, recognizing, and imitating words before learning to read and write them, I
believe that musical learning should follow a similar path. That’s why I place strong
emphasis on aural development, listening, and internalizing sound before focusing on
notation.

💡 My teaching is based on experience, intuition, and exploration. I aim to create a space where
each student feels free to play, discover, and express themselves, encouraging them to
follow their own curiosity and find personal meaning in music.

💡 I always adapt to the needs and goals of each student. Some come with a clear desire to
study classical repertoire, and in those cases I introduce reading and technical work from the
beginning — but always in a way that connects with the music’s expressive and structural
elements, not just as abstract exercises. I believe analysis, understanding, and creativity can
go hand in hand with solid technical and reading skills. Others want to accompany
themselves while singing, or ask for tools to help them create and develop their own musical
ideas. I enjoy guiding each of them through these different paths, offering a wide range of
resources and approaches.

💡 I also pay close attention to each student’s musical interests when choosing repertoire.
Whether they’re drawn to classical, pop, jazz, or music from games or films, I believe it’s
possible to build strong musical foundations by working with music they connect with. No
matter the style, we can explore technical, rhythmic, harmonic, and expressive aspects that
will contribute to their overall development and motivation.

✨My goal is to nurture a deep, joyful, and personal relationship with music in every student,
regardless of age, level, or background.✨

This course is aimed at beginner and intermediate students of classical violin, jazz and contemporary music.

For beginner students:
We cover technical elements such as violin and bow positioning and holding, bow movement, left-hand placement, scales, and positions. We also work on developing ear training and rhythm. We may also introduce basic music theory concepts, such as reading notes.
Finally, we work on learning pieces, according to the student's desires and musical styles.

For intermediate students, here are different approaches depending on their musical styles and desires.

For jazz and improvised music: scales or arpeggios that can be played on a given chord, modes and their use, rhythm, improvisation exercises, phrasing (swing, Latin, funk, etc.), learning jazz standards, how to amplify on stage, etc.

For classical music: scales and arpeggios, technical exercises for the left and right hand, how to put together a piece, musicality and interpretation.
