Bernadette - experienced and accredited cello teacher in Aix centre-ville. 5 minute walk from La Rotonde.

After 20+ years of practice and 18 years as a cello teacher in various Australian and UK schools as well as privately (since 2005), I can teach in English or in French.

With this experience of teaching and sharing my passion for the cello,
I offer lessons tailored to individual needs:
-Ages: 5 years to adult
-Beginners to advanced
-Prep exams, conservatory/school admissions, auditions, competitions
-Lessons for fun or leisure
-Perfecting all aspects of technique
-Revisiting or starting the basics
-Adaptable to all levels, all learning styles, all tastes, using a variety of methods.

I have completed both a Master and Bachelor of Performance at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music where I also studied String Pedagogy and completed Music Theory (Solfege, Harmony and Aural, Music History, etc.). I was then a member of several professional orchestras, performing with the Auckland Phil (New Zealand) and Southbank Sinfonia (London). I am currently in Aix-en-Provence where I am perfecting my French and preparing for future auditions.

I will be happy to provide you with my full resumé and/or recordings to my playing if you desire.

** Please note: Schedule is very often totally booked.
Please let me know if you'd like to go on the waiting list or if you're lucky I may have an opening...
Thank you.

Extra information

Student must have their own cello. Let me know if you need recommendations as to size (and tastes) and who to buy or hire from.

30-minute lessons are best for very young children, according to their concentration and physical abilities.
Then from about 7 years old and/or 3rd to 4th grade level in cello, hourly lessons would be necessary.
For all adults, I would recommend hourly lessons.

I do not travel to teaching venues outside of my location.
*Please note: there are 3 flights of stairs at the entry to my teaching location.

** Please note that my schedule is often completely booked.
Please let me know if you wish to go on my waiting list for the next available time-slot.
Thank you

Come discover, deepen and share your passion for the cello. Student at the Brussels Conservatory, graduate of the Rouen Conservatory (France) and more than 3 years of teaching experience.

Giorgia
Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any level
I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

Lydia
Piano Lessons in Classical and Contemporary Styles for Beginning-Advanced Levels (ages 6 and up)
Welcome to my piano teaching studio! I am a professional pianist offering private piano and theory lessons for students of all levels. As a pianist with over 14 years of teaching experience in Europe and the USA, as well as over 23 years of playing/performing, I enjoy motivating my students with music of their own preferred style and interest, whether that be classical or contemporary. My main goal is to promote a positive experience and love for music-making during the learning process. If the student is interested in a more structured approach, I guide preparation for grades 1-8 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) piano and music theory exams where my students consistently receive highest marks. I also have successful experience preparing students for conservatory entrance auditions, masterclasses, and competitions in the Europe, the USA, India, and Canada. We have class concerts at Pianos Maene for interested students twice per year. I am happy to provide either a more relaxed or a serious approach to learning piano, we simply need to discuss the personal goals and preferences of each student. My own studies are as follows: I have obtained two postgraduate performance degrees at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp: "Concertsoloist" in Piano Performance and "Chamber Music” (under the guidance of esteemed professor Sergei Edelmann). Prior to this, I received my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Piano Performance/Music from the University of Minnesota - Minneapolis (with Prof. Lydia Artymiw) and Texas Christian University, Fort Worth (with Dr. Tamas Ungar). My experience includes collaboration with many different instrumentalists and singers, performing as a soloist and collaborative member in several orchestras, and receiving top prizes in several competitions. While maintaining my performance and recording career in Belgium at present, I am developing my private music studio in central Antwerp and look forward to meeting new students.

My lessons are distinguished by their dynamics, practical approach and adaptation to the needs and interests of the student.

I speak Dutch at an intermediate level, which is improving every day.
