I'm offering productive music lessons in a friendly environment.
I'll guide your development from any level. I treat every student as an individual, and I adapt my approach accordingly - whether making music is your hobby or you have rather serious plans with it.

Depending on what you aim for, I'll choose nice pieces/songs and interesting exercises. I always care about leaving my students with the necessary tools for practice on their own when I'm not around to guide them.
You'll learn a stable intonation, and develop your rhythmical sense, musical interpretation, good posture, and apparatus that works for you individually. Together we can go not only for classical but also pop, rock or film music. What you might also enjoy during the lesson is playing together in a duo with me - so you can experience making music with another person, which is super fun!

There is many fantastic advantages to learning music, such as the growth of your musical taste and artistic sensitivity, and as even science proves - enhancement of your brain capacity.
But learning the cello or piano - the instruments that everyone wants to play ♡ - will truly inspire you by its unique sound.

//Besides my main instrument lesson domain, I offer help with Music Theory, Ear Training, Solfege, and Music History//
We can have lessons either in my apartment in Zeeheldenwkartier/Den Haag or at your location within the central area of the Hague.
Extra information
I would advice to rent your own instrument - I can help you to organize that.

About Me
I'm a freelance cellist - beside teaching, I play all kinds of music in different orchestras or ensembles in the Netherlands and Belgium.
I have almost 20 years of experience in playing cello and I come from Poland, where it all started :-)
Education
I completed my Bachelor in Cello Performance at Conservatorium Maastricht.
After that I continued with Master studies at Codarts Rotterdam, while I completed an Erasmus exchange program at Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. I've completed my Master's degree with distinction.
Experience / Qualifications
I've been teaching children and adults from starting and more advanced levels for several years. As a teacher I have an open and inquisitive attitude and I really like to work with people.
Through many years of professional experience I played classical music, but also other kinds like a contemporary, jazz, latin, pop and crossovers. Most importantly, I learned a lot about teaching methods and got valuable ideas from truly inspiring teachers and artists at many international masterclasses. Things that particularly inspired me or which I remember to have helped me a lot, I try to put into teaching others, observe their progress and give them tools for practicing beside the lesson.
I learned a lot from the preparation for performances during contests, at which I've been grateful to receive several prizes. I am also an experienced chamber music and orchestra player. Among performing in the international academic orchestras, I have been a member and a principal cellist of the Netherlands Youth Orchestra.

Elsa
ENG (FR below)

Hi! I am Elsa, I am 24 and I come from France. I am currently doing a jazz master at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, after obtaining my classical bachelor at the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague.
I have been playing cello for 19 years. Over the years I played in various settings: chamber music (small ensembles like trios, quartet), bands (new music), solo and orchestras such as the Nationaal Jeugdorkest and Jong Metropole (national youth jazz orchestra).
I love to play classical music but also some jazz, funk or pop! I like to play with people, create music together, improvise... And I hope this is something I can also pass on to my students!
Since 6 years I am teaching all kind of people: all ages, all level, in different languages, individual or in groups... So don't be afraid to have a try! I can teach in english and french, and if your level is not fluent we will always find a way to communicate!
I teach in The Hague, Amsterdam or online and I can come to your place to teach!
I am looking forward to meet you!

Bonjour! Je m'appelle Elsa, je suis française, j'ai 24 ans et je suis actuellement en master de jazz au Conservatorium van Amsterdam après avoir obtenu un bachelor classique au Conservatoire Royal de La Haye.
Ca fait 19 ans que je joue du violoncelle. Au fil des années j'ai joué dans beaucoup de contextes différents: musique de chambre, groupes, solo et orchestre (notament NJO et Jong Metropole).
J'adore jouer de la musique classique mais aussi du jazz, funk ou pop. J'aime jouer avec d'autre personnes, créer de la musique ensemble, improviser... J'espère que c'est quelque chose que je peux aussi transmettre à mes élèves!
J'enseigne la musique depuis 6 ans à toute sorte de personnes: tout les âges, tout les niveaux, en anglais et français... Alors n'hésitez pas à vous lancer!
J'enseigne à La Haye, Amsterdam ou en ligne et je peux me déplacer à votre domicile!
Au plaisir de vous rencontrer!

Discover the joy of playing the cello and performing with confidence!

Music is more than just playing the right notes—it’s about expression, creativity, and connection. As an experienced cellist and dedicated teacher, I help students of all levels develop their skills in a way that suits their individual needs and goals. Whether you're a beginner discovering the cello for the first time or an advanced player looking to refine your technique and musicality, lessons are tailored to support your journey.

Lessons focus on:
🎵 Building a solid technical foundation while keeping lessons enjoyable and engaging
🎵 Exploring different musical styles, from baroque to contemporary music
🎵 Developing musical expression and confidence in performance
🎵 Adapting to each student’s learning style and personal goals

In addition to cello lessons, I offer coaching sessions for musicians who want to overcome stage fright and enhance their stage presence. Drawing on my background in music therapy and extensive stage experience, I help musicians feel more at ease and express themselves fully on stage. These sessions incorporate breathing exercises to manage performance anxiety, increase focus, and activate a calm, present state through knowledge of the autonomic nervous system.

To further connect with your instrument, we work on free improvisation—a powerful way to tap into creativity and express emotions through music. This not only helps you feel more connected to your instrument but also deepens your overall musical experience.

Whether you're looking to master the cello or gain more confidence as a performer, I’d love to support you on your musical journey! Feel free to reach out for more details.
