Have you been playing the cello as an amateur and now need an expert to guide you?
Do you want to develop and improve your cello and musical skills?
Do you need reinforcement lessons?
Would you like to prepare for entrance exams to the conservatory?
Would you love to join a youth orchestra and need help preparing for the auditions?
...
These are the private cello lessons you were looking for!

My name is Miriam, I am a graduate in Master of Classical Music at KASK & Conservatorium in Ghent.
I've been teaching cello to children, teenagers and adults for 10 years, so I've acquired the necessary experience to be able to adapt to the different and personal needs and objectives of each student. My teaching methodology focuses on creating a friendly and relaxed environment (which does not mean undemanding!) in which students feel confident to express their own ideas and worries. In my lessons I focus on technical and postural questions, but we also reflect together on the music, as I like my students to develop their own musical ideas and not just imitate the teacher.

Contact me now to schedule your first lesson and take the first step toward your musical aspirations! :)

Extra information

Don’t have a cello yet or not sure if you’re going to like it? No worries! I have an extra cello (4/4) at home that you can play during our first lessons! This way, you can try it out in a relaxed and pressure-free way, and see if this instrument is right for you while you decide whether to get your own to practice with at home :)

About Me

¡Hola! Hello! Ciao! Hallo! I am Miriam, a Spaniard who came to Ghent with the intention of spending only two years for my master studies but fell in love with this warm and friendly city so now I have decided to stay here. I started learning Dutch last September 2023. I am currently studying level B2. And I already give cello lessons in Dutch to most of my students! :)

I have been playing the cello since I was 7 years old, and during this long musical journey I have been blessed to have met incredible teachers and musicians, both national and international, who have shared with me their knowledge and passion for music and the cello. From all of them I have taken little pieces of knowledge and inspiration that I now share with my students during our lessons. That's why I love music and teaching, I find that knowledge shared and given as a gift is simply something precious and special that I love to be a part of.

Also, I have had the good luck to play in numerous national and international orchestras where I have learned a lot on a musical and personal level. If it's already incredible to make music on your own, imagine yourself accompanied by 100 other musicians, breathing and feeling the music with you!

I'm a passionate, friendly, calm and very patient person. My approach to teaching is to provide you not only with the necessary technical and musical skills, but also to transmit the passion and excitement I feel for the cello and music.

I hope to see you soon and that we make music together :)

Through our lessons you will be able to both develop your own musical taste and improving technical skills, in order to better enjoy the music of this instrument. An historical perspective will be taken in consideration, in order to better approach the music repertoire written before 1800.

What are you waiting for? Book your first class :)

PIANO

Foundation
First we start with the music theory, melody and chords. These are the essential building blocks for making music.

Style
Next we apply stylistic tools to bring the music to life. This could include jazz chords, blues riffs, walking bass lines, and more.

Skills

We learn the skills (soloing, ear training, accompaniment, improvisation, lead sheets, analysis...)

Following this approach, you will finally understand the music that you are playing, and you will be able to apply the techniques to hundreds of other songs.

CVT COACHING

Hi! I am Tine, a singer, voice teacher and vocal coach. I am passionate about helping singers to make the most of their singing practice so they can thrive, grow, and become the powerful performers and communicators the world needs today.

I can help you train your voice and keep it healthy, develop your own unique sound, sing across different styles, manage performance anxiety, be authentic on stage, deliver powerful presentations, make more efficient goals and help you reach them.

It is possible to create all the sounds from all the styles / genres in a healthy way!

CVT METHOD?

Singing is not that difficult and everybody can learn to sing. CVT divideds the singing techniques into four main subjects. By combining elements of these four subjects, you can produce precisely the sounds you want. You will also be able to pinpoint your specific problems and mistakes, and you can focus on which techniques you wish to work on.

The four main subjects are:

The three overall principles – to ensure healthy sound production
The four vocal modes – to choose the ‘gear’ you want to sing in.
Sound colours – to make the sound lighter or darker.
Effects – to achieve specific sound effects.

Solfège and music theory lessons are also possible!

I will help students strengthen and consolidate their technical skills on the instrument, but we will also have a lot of fun in playing music!

My education:
- Postgraduate Musical Performance Practice course, at KASK & Conservatorium, HoGent. Ongoing (2022-2023).

I have 6 years of experience teaching both cello and music theory, both as separate subjects and as a combined learning program. In this time I have worked with many different students with different skill levels and ages.
My lessons adapt to the students goals, skills, previous knowledge and learning styles. On our first lesson we will determine what the starting point is, what we ant to achieve in the short and long term, and we will make a plan to get there that best suits you.

Hello everybody! I'm Maria, a graduate in flute performance at master's level. Besides loving to play my instrument, I have a passion for teaching music and flute. I have had experience with children who were starting studying music and flute, including those preparing for their entrance exam to an academy! I have also worked with more advanced students, deepening the improvement of their base and technique in playing the instrument to perfect it always with a very positive working environment!

If you want to start learning to play this instrument, I can be of great help to make your first steps easy and fun! We can learn how to read notes and rythms also, and create a good playing technique with exercises to practice not only in class but also at home.

If you are already a flute student and would like to receive extra support for your lessons at school, I will be happy to work with you to get the most out of the instrument and your musical skills. I love to deepen the student's technique to teach them to work in the most efficient way possible, providing individual study techniques for practicing alone. I could also be of practical help to students preparing for a bachelor's entrance exam by working together on the pieces they are going to play and getting the most out of them.

I view teaching vocals and songwriting as a therapeutic, holistic process, where my students learn techniques and practical tools that help them hone their craft, but also work through psychological blockages that make them into greater artists.

Hello! My name is Marcos, I am a clarinetist and I live in Brussels. I offer private lessons in person (they can be at your place or mine) or online.
I have experience as a teacher for the last few years with children, adults, individual and group classes. Professional or amateur level.
In my lessons, I help students find a good contact with the instrument and cultivate a positive relationship with music by integrating the development of auditory skills, a sense of rhythm and optimal use of the body, allowing them to connect with their musical imagination.
Lessons are tailored to the needs and desires of each student.
The most important thing is that we have a good time!
