About Me

Hello there! My name is Teodora and I am a professional cellist based in The Netherlands. I have been playing the cello for the past 20 years and still, I am getting more and more in love with it! If you are reading this, then maybe you feel the same way towards it as I do? Let me tell you a little more about it!

The cello is an extraordinary instrument, creating full, lustrous sounds that are truly sublime and very similar to the range of the human voice. And although it requires a bit of an investment, learning to play the cello is an extremely rewarding activity, generating benefits that last a lifetime. Not only will you develop the aptitude to produce music that comforts, excites, or moves someone, the actual learning process builds skills for the future and develops cognitive advantages in any age cello student.

Music education, especially one that involves learning a string instrument like the cello, is an excellent example of comprehensive learning. By combining mental and physical exercises in a structured way, music training stimulates and strengthens both your physical body and specific areas of the brain, such as memory, reading and math comprehension. Moreover, it also develops marketable skills that will serve you well into the future.

If you’ve recently decided to learn to play the cello or you’re still on the bubble about whether or not to take the plunge, I am definitely the person who can guide you through the beautiful journey of getting to know the instrument and music in general!

Excellent first lesson .. fabulous experienced techer
Teodora has been teaching me to play the cello for half a year now. As a beginner, it was quite a big step for me to start with the lessons. Teodora however, put me at ease right from te beginning. What I like about her lessons is that she is always giving me tips on how to improve specific elements , making my time practicing alone more rewarding and effective. I would recommend Teodora for anyone he would like to start playing the cello.
I’ve been learning how to play the cello from Teodora for over half a year now. I’ve enjoyed every moment of it. She is a very patient teacher, and she always tries to make the learning process a pleasant experience. When I am getting frustrated with my own mistakes, she makes good suggestions on how to improve them in a smarter way. I also like the fact that I have a choice in the repertoire we work on. That way, it rarely gets boring. She is also flexible with the schedule so that I can arrange the lessons after my regular working hours. Looking at the time we have spent together, I can definitely recommend Teodora as an excellent cello teacher.
Very helpful and a teacher with whom one can feel relaxed
I have been taking lessons from Teodora for a while now and she is a very friendly and warm person, as well as a very good cello teacher that knows how to create a pleasant, comfortable atmosphere. I play cello as a hobby and for me it was very important to find a teacher that can adapt to my level. And Teodora does exactly that, I don't feel pressured and have enjoyed every lesson that I had until now. Her technique, style, and way of playing the cello, show that the she has great and in depth knowledge of playing the cello. Thus, for those of you that are playing professionally or aiming do to so, I think that Teodora has much to offer. So check her out, she is amazing.

Cello and solfège lessons for children, teenagers and adults in English and Italian.
My experience with teaching began with the pedagogy course at the Prince Claus Conservatory in the Netherlands where I completed my master of music. Thanks to this curricular experience, I was able to come into contact with a world that has left me fascinated and with even more questions. I find the exchange of information and experiences created during a lesson stimulating and engaging. The needs of each student, noticing different personality types and thinking, provides me with the tools I need to become a better teacher. My goal is to create a serene and friendly environment while maintaining a challenging lesson structure to give my students the best quality and quantity of information.

Guitar workshops: personalized lessons / private training
Folk or classical acoustic guitar. The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation. For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...). For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...). Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points: -Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear - Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords - Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand - Learning of different pieces of your choice - Left hand control exercises, speed and precision - Learning arpeggios - Work around muscle memory - Learning improvisation, musical play with others - Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used -Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results -Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument - Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone -Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge - Learn tablatures / tabs & in English. Note : - Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase. - As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy. - Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice. THE TEACHER : Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords. PLACES : - Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.
