Modern and/or baroque cello lessons for all levels in Brussels in English, French or Portuguese

From 89.83 C$ /h

I finished my bachelor studies in Lisbon, at the National Orchestra Academy (Orquestra Metropolitana), master in modern cello in Antwerp, at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp and master in baroque cello in the Early Music Department of the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles.
Solid experience in orchestral playing as well as in chamber music, where I collaborate with several orchestras and ensembles, and have my own ensemble as well (Ayres Extemporae). Working as a freelancer, so availabilities may vary some weeks!

My classes are adapted to the goals, personalities and levels of each student – it’s exactly this kind of adaptability possible in private teaching that I'm passionate about.
I approach all the technical elements of cello playing, always in close relation with the musical side (and the pleasure of playing!), which allows a continuous, complete and stimulating global development, in a caring and respectful atmosphere.

I am a professional cellist who received her Master's degree with distinction at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels from the Dutch cellist Jeroen Reuling.

During my Bachelor study in Tilburg I started teaching early, private and as an interim at the Zeeland Music School. With which I gained a lot of experience in teaching different ages and levels.

In my lessons it is important that the student has fun in making music and becomes familiar with the instrument, the fine motor skills and the theoretical aspects.

My name is Dorelle, and I have been playing the cello and piano since childhood. Teaching has always been an essential part of my journey, alongside my professional career as a cellist in various ensembles and orchestras.

My lessons adapt to any age, any level, any musical taste.
Classical, pop, film music, improvisation... Anything is possible and open to exploration!

For me, music is an enriching experience based on exchange. I enjoy playing alongside my students because it creates a friendly and motivating environment. I guide children with interactive and playful methods, and offer adults and teenagers a structured approach to progress with confidence.

What I propose :
✔️ A relaxed posture – Learn to play efficiently and without tension.
✔️ A personalized approach – Lessons adapted to your musical taste and goals.
✔️ Building confidence – Develop technique, musicality, and self-expression.
✔️ A safe space – It’s okay to make mistakes. Be kind to yourself!

Student at the Royal Conservatory of Mons, I offer cello lessons for beginners and intermediate level. My classes are aimed at anyone who wants to start learning this art, or for children who are curious and interested in this art.

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.

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.

Music is a hobby just like it can be a profession in its own right. It is important when you are starting out or when you are more advanced to take lessons with a natural person who can give examples, advice and offer good follow-up.
Master's student at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, I have nearly 20 years of instrument practice. I offer a complete but fun approach to the discipline. Whether on the instrument or just to learn music theory. I am not confined to one style of music as long as I have the scores to be able to work effectively. I would be able to introduce people to music or reinforce the basics for more advanced people. I offer teaching adapted to the level and desires of the student:
Thus, I can introduce the world of music and instrumental practice to beginners or enrich and deepen this practice (with a view to preparing for exams, working on orchestral parts for example) for the most advanced students. . I can travel if not too far but I teach at home. Looking forward to making music with you 😊

After two years of preparatory class at the Conservatory of Versailles (France) in the class of Cello of Damien Ventula and Baroque Cello of Tormod Dalen, I am currently a student of license at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel in the class of Olsi Leka.

I obtained my musical studies diploma in cello with the subjects of culture: History of music, Analysis, Harmony and Writing, Organology and Pedagogy.
I also followed the specialized Music Training courses in Julie Gailland's class as well as the Forte Piano lessons in Daria Fadeeva's class which gives me the opportunity to offer an introduction to the keyboard and / or piano accompaniment to the cellist student.
I regularly perform in concert, Théatre de l'ile Saint Louis in Paris, Maison des Musicians Italiens in Versailles.

I am a patient, punctual, educator and full of life young woman. I want to transmit my taste for the instrument to each student and help them develop joy and love for the instrument by developing a beautiful musicality while having fun.

Languages spoken: French and English.

For beginners, a form of instrument approach is used in a natural way, body / instrument relationship, the basic technique is worked a lot, always with a focus on the sensitivity of the music and in a creative way.
the goal of mastering a work that is musically and technically correct

For intermediaries, the technique has been perfected and any bad habits have been corrected. and the musical potential begins to be exploited, the technique is worked on with an interpretive approach.
start preparing the directory

For the advanced, the musicality and the search for their own musical discourse are worked on, the technical details continue to be worked on but more centered on their own musical idea.
always with a concert repertoire approach

Learning the cello according to the demands and goals of the student. Technical work, but also listening work and discovery of the repertoire. Complementary music theory lessons if necessary.
I can teach in French, English or Czech. I attach great importance to the way you stand while playing so as not to have back pain.
In addition to teaching technique, I like to have my students listen to pieces from the repertoire. I teach music theory if necessary. I play with my students to encourage them.

In the cello lessons you will learn music pieces from basic to advanced level, to reach your favorites. You'll explore, learn to express and widen your emotional scale. Meanwhile you'll enjoy developing your technical skills on your instrument. Playing and practicing your cello is becoming a very pleasant and enjoyable activity.

For your balanced growing in music, I'm happy to help you with music theory as well.
