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.

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!

Lessons in piano, harpsichord, and historical and modern cello, 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, coordination, 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 teaching tradition of partimenti of the old Neapolitan conservatories - exercises for composing that can be applied from early stage. This not only adds a creative element soon after very beginning, but also teaches via practice the basics of harmony and polyphony.
Lessons can be combined (+30min.) with theory/solfege (ear training), if the student wishes.
English, Nederlands, française, Deutsch.
I have been teaching for more than 15 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.

Individual lessons at my flat in Rue Breydel (Schuman). I have a long experience of teaching, as well as playing and giving lecture recitals. One of my pupils came second in the 'Grand Concours pour les Amateurs' in Paris, and others won prizes for the highest Grade 8 ABRSM.
But I am also experienced at teaching beginners and helping them to read music, using new and old methods. If you want to play the piano, then I am ready to help you!

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.

My course will be based first and foremost on practical and applied knowledge of the piano instrument, whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced player.
Learning an instrument requires first and foremost a good ability to read notes, but also the development of listening skills, in order to be able to learn a passage or a piece by heart more easily and naturally.
You will learn how to adopt a good posture at the piano, how to build an optimal hand position, and how to develop finger agility and flexibility to play fast passages with greater accuracy.
The goal will be to guide you in transforming a score into real music.

A serious teacher, holding a Master's degree in piano and a Master's degree in pedagogy, with a solid academic background and experience dedicated to musical transmission.

FR / NL / EN

FR:

Each student has their own goals, tastes, and learning style. Therefore, I tailor the course to each student's level and expectations.

For a beginner, we gradually work on posture, technique, reading and the first notions of music theory while quickly playing pieces.

For a more advanced student, the work may be more oriented towards interpretation, technique, musical analysis, accompaniment or preparation for an exam or audition.

Music theory is naturally integrated into the piano course so that it can be used directly for musical practice: reading a score, understanding the rhythm, the tones, the chords and the structure of a piece.

I also offer personalized support for preparing for conservatory entrance exams.

NL:

Elke leerling heeft zijn de haar eigen doelstellingen, muzikale voorkeuren en manier van leren. Daarom stem ik elke les af op het level en de verwachtingen van de leerling.

For beginners we work with you on a sound track, techniques, notes and the basis of music theory, we know that this is the music you play.

You can also focus on interpretation, technology, music analysis, piano performance and audit examination.

Music theory is a natural way to handle piano music, there are two strings that tend to be used in music practices: light scores, rhythms can be played, toonaarden in akkoorden are included in the structure of the music.

I also have people who are interested in your teaching exams at the conservatory.

IN :

Each student has their own goals, musical preferences, and way of learning. I therefore tailor each lesson to their level and individual expectations.

For beginners, we progressively work on posture, technique, reading music, and the basics of music theory, while quickly learning and playing actual pieces.

For more advanced students, the lessons can focus more on interpretation, technique, musical analysis, accompaniment, or preparation for an exam or audition.

Music theory is naturally integrated into the piano lessons so that it directly supports musical practice: reading a score, understanding rhythm, keys, chords, and the structure of a piece.

I also offer personalized guidance for preparing entrance examinations for conservatories.
