Cello lessons for children (English, Russian, Ukrainian)

From 76 C$ /h

I’m an enthusiastic Cellist from Ukraine specialized in teaching children. I have a pedagogy education from the Dnipro Academy of Music and want to show your children how much fun it is to learn to play cello, learning the right technique and feeling the music. In Ukraine I studied with Artem Poludennyi, one of the best Cellists of Ukraine, who performs as Soloist with all major Ukrainian orchestras and internationally. Here in Belgium I completed my Master at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels with the famous Cellist Jeroen Reuling, and currently finishing my 2nd master degree in Namur with Pierre Fontenelle.
I teach at home in Ixelles or can come to your house in Brussels or Namur.

Despite my focus on teaching children, I’m also happy to accept adult students.

Don’t feel shy to contact me if you have questions.
Valeriia

I will be a hundred cellos,
all in one.
I will play – I will sing,
I'll have fun.

I'll describe a murky rainforest,
with the rhythm in my soul.
I'll be a thunderous storm,
It's my only goal.

And when I'm done with my few songs,
People stand: applause.
I'll smile and bow down with thanks,
It's my only cause.

Extra information

If you don’t yet own a cello, it is possible to rent a cello at first.

Guitar teacher for many years, I am passionate about jazz, blues, folk and fingerpicking.
My classes cover the basics of these different styles in a relaxed manner. Smoothly stringing together chords, exploring different rhythms, correctly placing a melody, trying improvisation (jazz, blues, rock), and developing finger playing techniques (classical or folk) are all central elements of the learning process. These are eventually deepened by notions of music theory and/or music theory.

Teacher trained in the "Arc-en-Sons" method, I also teach children from 4 years old

Classes are for Beginner and Intermediate levels.

Individual lessons (20, 30 or 60 minutes).

Group lessons (up to 4 participants).

Hope to meet you!

Composer and experienced piano teacher David is offering piano lessons for all ages, - particularly interested in new adult students. Complete beginners through to advanced. With over 12 years teaching experience, David's lessons can be tailored to all objectives – with a focus on imparting an understanding of music as a deep language, and on developing a sensitive and powerful technique. In addition to classical piano and, music theory, David can also help you explore simple approaches to begin composing if you with to explore your creative talents. Alternatively, lessons can be approached as therapy (in a non formal sense) and leisure. The focus is classical music and classical methods but we will dive into other styles occasionally if you would like.

Majority of sheet music included in the class price.
Lessons take place at my place in Ixelles. I may also be able to come to your place depending on location. A very small amount of online students can be accepted to help with accessibility or other reasons.

David is represented an Associate Composer of the Australian Music Centre, now working in Brussels. He holds a Bachelor of Creative Arts from the University of Melbourne, performance Diplomas (pianoforte) from the Asssociated Board of the Royal Schools of Music in the UK and AMEB in Australia, and recently graduated with high marks from the post-graduate degree programme in Film Scoring and Orchestration at Lisbon's National Academy of Adanced Orchestral Studies (ANSO). David is a friendly, very sensitive and experienced teacher with a natural understanding of pedagogy who promises to make your lessons relaxing and exciting.

I am a professional violinist with more than 15years of teaching experience and I am a memeber of the orchestra of Opera Royal de Wallonie-Liège. I graduated with distinction at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels (Master) and I hold a Bachelor Diploma from Codarts (Rotterdam).
I also pursued a masters degree in Music Education at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels.

I teach students of all ages and levels.
I have fifteen years of teaching experience in the Netherlands and in Belgium ( privately and at music schools/muziekacademies).

Music is my passion and I love sharing this passion with my students.
In my lessons I help the student to find a good contact with the instrument and cultivate a positive relationship with music by integrating the development of aural skills, sense of rhythm and an optimal body use, enabling them to connect with their musical imagination.
The lessons are adapted to each student's needs and wishes.

I am an experienced teacher. I studied in Japan, Germany, France and Belgium. I have 2 masters in Violin and Viola play - concert level.
I will make you learn the fundamental knowledge and know how, and make you experience a valuable and joyful moment in the same time. My teaching skill is totally flexible, depending on what is needed by the student (professionnal assistance, child's introduction to the world of violin/viola, etc.).

I value the basics so I use Japanese music text book most of the time.
Many students are able to play a piece after 2,3 months.
You can learn music theory and instrument practice of violin, viola and basic skills of piano.

I really enjoy teaching. It makes me happy to see when my students are thrilled with music. Do not hesitate to contact me for getting more details.

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!

Classical piano lessons, variety, pop intended for students of all ages (beginner, advanced). A fairly fun learning method, the piano must be technically stimulating to learn, with exercises based on games, easy to repeat when working alone

Hello :)
I'm a young yet experienced pianist from Poland, I've finished 12 years of Frideric Chopin's Music School there. I have been tutoring since I was 16. As for my teaching style, I care a lot about the basis, so students I have usually have a very stable ability of playing piano.

Also, I'm an English teacher for kids at the moment, so I am very good at communicating with them and I love spending time developing their skills.

I've been collecting note sheets since a little child, so except of the theory, I can suggest some basic, popular songs to learn.
