About Me

At the age of seven, I discovered my passion for the cello. Since then, this path has led me to receive more than 30 awards in national and international competitions, as well as to perform as a soloist in iconic concertos by Lalo, Saint-Saëns, Schumann, Dvořák, and many others.

A graduate with honors from the Bulgarian National Academy of Music and holder of two Masters degrees from the Geneva University of Music (musical interpretation and instrumental pedagogy), I have also had the honor of collaborating with prestigious orchestras such as the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra, the Sofia Philharmonic and the Bulgarian Radio Orchestra.

Today, I pass on this experience to my students in Switzerland, as a cello teacher at Collège Aiglon, at the Centre artistique du Lac in Cologny, and in my own cello class in Geneva.

I am already looking forward to meeting you and I hope we can share together in music!
Renting a cello can be seen as a complex task, but finding a cello to rent is actually very simple!
I can also help with research.

Develop your physical and cognitive abilities, strengthen your memory, your concentration or even consolidate your self-confidence... The benefits of learning an instrument are numerous.

Cellist in Master's degree at the Haute École de Musique de Genève, in pedagogy course, and holder of a Diploma of Musical Studies in musical training, I invite you to share my experience and my enthusiasm during private lessons or in small groups.
My experiences as a teacher in music schools, in private lessons and within the Démos project coordinated by the Philharmonie de Paris, have allowed me to develop a pedagogy adapted to the needs and demands of students: installation of the bases of instrument, solidification of technique, discovery of the repertoire, stress management, keys to improvisation...The objective of the course is to develop one's freedom and autonomy on the instrument to have fun and share one's music!
Music theory, music history or music theory can accompany the lessons if necessary.

Whether you are just discovering the instrument or an already experienced cellist, we build the course together, according to your expectations. Also, whatever the age, whatever the route, with a little will, everyone can achieve it!

Hope to meet you,

Juliette
