Cello and music theory lessons for all ages and levels

From 41 C$ /h

My name is Mario, and I study with Marie Hallynck at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels.
I have already given private musical training lessons and wish to allow beginner students to become more efficient without increasing their working time, and for more advanced students to do more in-depth work so that everyone achieves their goal as a cellist. .

Let me know what you plan to play so I can prepare accordingly :)

About Me

Coming from a family of musicians, I started playing the cello at the age of 6, in the class of Jean Halsdorf, then that of Nora Braun at the Esch-sur-Alzette Conservatory.

During my studies at the conservatory, I participated in various orchestral projects, notably within the Concergebouworkest Young 2021 and the Orchester National des Jeunes du Luxembourg, as well as in masterclasses with eminent teachers such as Maria Kliegel, Nadège Rochat, Clément Peigné, Johannes Moser, Yibai Chen, and Marie Hallynck.

Since September 2023, I have been studying at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels in Marie Hallynck's class.

Singing is much more than producing beautiful sounds — it is a way of discovering yourself, expressing emotions, and connecting more deeply with your own personality and inner world. Finding your voice can be a powerful and liberating experience, and my goal is to guide students through that process in a supportive, open, and encouraging atmosphere.

As a classically trained countertenor and conservatory student, I teach the fundamentals of healthy vocal technique while helping students develop confidence, musicality, and freedom in their voice. We work on breathing, posture, resonance, vocal placement, articulation, and expression, always adapted to your individual voice and level of experience.

Whether you are a complete beginner or already have some singing experience, lessons are tailored to your personal goals and interests. I believe every voice is unique, and that singing lessons should not only help you improve technically, but also help you discover new aspects of yourself through music and self-expression.

My teaching style is positive, patient, and flexible. I want students to feel comfortable experimenting, making mistakes, and gradually opening up their voice without fear or pressure. Above all, singing should remain something joyful, inspiring, and deeply human.

I'm Giorgos and i teach Lute and Classical guitar!
I have over 15 years of teaching experience, and have studied and have my Degrees from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, both in Classical Guitar as well as Historical Plucked instruments.

I regularly perform in concert halls with orchestras and groups all around Europe, perform with my own ensembles based in Brussels and Italy, and enjoy an active teaching schedule.

My aim with teaching is to find the best way to facilitate the student to find their own voice and direction, and to help steer them on their preferred road of performance. The schedule and repertoire are decided by the student, and we plot a course together depending on your goals, whether that's aiming to place into an academy or the conservatories, or if you just enjoy playing music as a hobby and wish that it accompanies you through your life!

I'm looking forward to hear from you!

Hello to everyone!
My name is María, I am a Venezuelan Cellist.
All my musical education was inside the musical program "El Sistema" in Venezuela. This education was based on preparing myself as a better human being though playing cello in orchestras, chamber music and as soloist.
I am current studying my Master degree at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel.
In what consist my lessons?
Cello classes for all levels (beginner, intermediate and advanced), it does not matter if you have never played cello before or if you are already studying, the important thing is to help you achieve the goals you want with this beautiful instrument.
To have better results with practice, if it is necessary to help you with music theory, I will help you.
As well, if you're looking for help in orchestral excerpts for auditions, I'm here for you!
For kids, parental support is also important during some lesson, we are all a team and we need to work together to achieve the goals!
Classes can be in person at your house or mine (BRUSSELS, BELGIUM) or via videocall (Skype, Zoom, etc). The schedules are planned according to the time of the student and the teacher.

Looking forward to meeting you and work together!
Maria.

Are you a beginner?? No worries: no experience is required! 😁
I can teach you the basics to produce sounds with your saxophone: position of the embouchure (teeth, tongue, lips and vocal cords' position, an element often forgotten), fingerings, use of diafragma,...
After the first two lessons spent on the mouthpiece and neck for the sound production, we will immediately start to play some super easy duos together to practice your capacity of listening, pay attention to the other, ear training as well. I normally use the book of Peter Wastall (titled Learn as you play) as support, but it is not mandatory. There are plenty of good books btw!

Are you an intermediate / advanced student?? I am sure you can still improve in all the basics, but on a different level. I'll teach you the importance of the "voicing" (technique named by the american saxophonist and pedagogue Donald Sinta) to improve your sound production and projection as well as the capacity of correcting and improving the intonation. You can learn all about phrasing and music interpretation, from tonal music until contemporary atonal compositions. And still, you can improve your playing together, practicing in duo on different aspects like tuning, balance, interpretation, performance etc.

Book a lesson and try! If you are not happy, give me a feedback and go on. If you are happy, I will be happy to help you becoming a good musician!

What would you like to achieve with the clarinet?

Maybe you’re starting from zero. Maybe you played years ago and want to come back to the instrument. Maybe you already play and want to improve your sound, technique or musical expression. Or perhaps you have a specific audition or conservatory goal.

Whatever your starting point, I’ll help you turn that goal into a clear and practical path forward.

With me, you can work on:

Building a confident, personal sound
Improving technique, breathing and articulation
Playing with better intonation, rhythm and control
Understanding and expressing the music rather than simply playing the notes
Becoming more confident when performing
Learning how to practise efficiently and independently
Preparing specific repertoire, auditions or conservatory exams

I want lessons to be productive, but also enjoyable. You should leave each lesson knowing what you improved, what you are working towards, and how to practise it.

Whether you want to discover the clarinet, develop your playing seriously, or take your music to the next level, choose a time that suits you and let’s start working towards your goals.

Graduated in cello in Barcelona, finishing my master in historical cello at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. Passionate cellist with a lot of experience in performance and education. I specialize in historically informed music, so I try to understand the context around each music I play, so we enter into a dialogue between current events and the era in which the music was created. In my classes we will learn the basic technique of the cello but also we will look together for what we want to express with the music we make, and techniques more adapted to the era.

Lessons for modern or historical, with program and repertoire, adapted to the goals and speed of each student, whether young, not so young, or adult, for a general introduction to these instruments, for preparation for high music education, as a supplementary aid for exams in music academies, or for a hobby, or for amateur group music-making, or for developing qualities as concentration, discipline, expressibility, awareness of styles and music history.
In my teaching, I rely mostly on old traditional methods, books, and repertoire, which have proved their efficiency over the time. I also make use of the old teaching tradition of improvisation. This not only adds a creative element soon after very beginning, but also teaches via practice the basics of harmony.
Lessons can be combined (+30min.) with theory/solfege (ear training), if the student wishes.
English, Nederlands, française, Deutsch.
I have been teaching for about 20 years, privately, in Brussels, and in New York in the past, more than 100 students.
I am a graduate of Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel, in baroque cello and harpsichord, but I play also modern cello, organ, and piano.
