I teach Cello from complete beginners to advanced level, including music school auditions. I studied bachelor and master in cello performance at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire in England where I received distinction. I perform professionally as a soloist and orchestral player and have been teaching cello for 8 years. I have 5 years experience teaching cello in the UK school system, and my students achieved 100% success in ABRSM exams.

I can also teach music theory for ABRSM exams.

I teach in English and French.
Extra information
Students should have their own instrument already, but I can help you choose something appropriate if you don't already have one.

About Me
I am a passionate teacher who loves to share my knowledge of the cello and music with students.

I worked as a cellist and teacher in the UK for 8 years but have moved to Montreux to set up my class in Vaud.

Hello !
I have a Master's degree in pedagogy from the Lausanne University of Music and a Suzuki Level 2 qualification. I am currently available for private lessons in Lausanne (Switzerland).

I am a Suzuki teacher, graduated from this training in August 2022. Suzuki is a specialized pedagogy for very young children (from 3 years old) but applicable to any age!

Graduated from the Koninklijk Conseratorium in Brussels (class of Jeroen Reuling) and Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Lyon in the class of Patrick Gabard and Fabrice Bihan, I offer cello lessons for all ages as well as for all levels :)

My schedules are extremely flexible!
Do not worry if you do not have a basic music theory, I can help you develop in this subject too!

Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

Hello,

I am thrilled to introduce myself as a devoted cellist and music enthusiast with a fervor for teaching adults. My journey in the realm of music has encompassed both professional performances and the joy of mentoring others. Here's a glimpse into what makes me a unique candidate for your musical journey.

Cellist Extraordinaire:
Having graced the stages of various orchestras and quartets, my journey as a cellist has been one of continuous growth and exploration. The melodies that resonate from my cello are a result of years of dedication, practice, and a deep connection to the art form. My experiences performing in diverse ensembles have not only refined my technical skills but also broadened my musical horizons.

Teaching for the Love of Music:
While music has been a significant part of my life, teaching has become an equally cherished pursuit. Guiding and inspiring others on their musical odysseys is a passion I wholeheartedly embrace. As a hobbyist instructor, I approach teaching with a sense of fun and creativity, fostering an environment where learning is an enjoyable and rewarding experience.

Multilingual Communicator:
My ability to communicate effectively in both English and Chinese enables me to connect with a broader range of students. This linguistic versatility ensures that language is never a barrier to understanding and absorbing the rich world of music.

Focused on Adult Learners:
Recognizing the distinct needs and aspirations of adult learners, I have tailored my teaching approach to cater specifically to this demographic. Whether you're an aspiring musician seeking to fulfill a long-held dream or someone looking to reignite a passion for music, I am here to guide you through this journey with patience and understanding.

Choosing a music instructor is a pivotal decision, and I am committed to making this choice an enriching one. If you're an adult with a yearning to explore the cello, harness your musical talents, and embark on a harmonious adventure, I would be honored to be your guide.

Thank you for considering my candidacy.

For the past three years, I have been teaching cello in music schools and within musical associations in France. This experience has allowed me to work with a wide variety of students: children who are beginners or already musicians, teenagers, adult beginners, as well as people wishing to take up the cello again after several years of interruption.

This diversity of students has convinced me of one thing: there is no single right way to learn music. That's why I adapt my teaching methods to each individual, taking into account their age, level, needs, personality, and above all, their goals.

For children: I aim to create an environment that is structured, fun, and motivating. Technical learning remains essential, but it must be accompanied by curiosity and enjoyment. I use a variety of exercises and tools, sometimes more innovative ones, to make musical concepts concrete and facilitate understanding. The goal is to allow the child to progress while gradually developing their autonomy and confidence.

For adults: Have you always wanted to learn the cello? Did you start when you were younger and want to pick it up again? It's never too late to rediscover the joy of playing. I adapt to each person's pace, without imposing any predefined goals. We can work on the basics, gradually review technique, explore a repertoire you love, or delve deeper into specific aspects according to your interests.
I can also integrate music theory concepts directly into instrumental work when it is useful.

Above all, I want to share my passion: beyond technique, what motivates me in teaching is the act of passing on knowledge. I love seeing a student overcome a difficulty, understand something new, and above all, gain confidence in their playing.
My goal is for each lesson to allow students to progress, discover and enjoy making music.

I am currently pursuing my advanced cello studies at the Haute École de Musique (HEMU) in Lausanne, while continuing to develop my teaching experience.

Whether you are a beginner, wish to take up the cello again or are looking to improve your skills, I will be happy to build with you a tailor-made teaching program that truly corresponds to your musical project.
