Cello with a very friendly professional; all ages, all stages!

From 109.97 C$ /h

You're in good hands! As a professional cellist for 14 years now, including as a member of major European and Australian opera and philharmonic orchestras, I welcome all students, from those picking up the instrument for the first time to those preparing for professional auditions.

My primary aim in teaching is to create an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect in which students can draw motivation to set and accomplish their goals, with my full commitment towards helping them achieve those. Getting the foundations of good playing and good musicianship right is of course a very close and no less important second!

During their journey, students can count on my patience, understanding and sympathy to help them through all challenges. I tailor my teaching style to fit all students based on their individual needs and wishes, or those of their parents if they're too young to decide for themselves.

I'm determined to break the stereotype of teachers being failed performers and teach not only by demonstration, but by playing with students as an accompanist or duet partner, even with absolute beginners.

If you're not sure exactly what you want out of lessons, or aren't sure where to begin, let's discuss and determine that together!

Lessons take place at my place in Carré.

Extra information

Lessons for students younger than 12 must take place in the full presence of a parent or guardian.

English is my native language but I can also teach in Dutch and German. As a new resident of Liège, I'm working on French!

Students must have their own cello and accessories, including at the very least a bow, rosin, appropriate microfibre cloth for cleaning and a floor protector for the spike. Ideally, students will also have an electronic tablet or some other means to receive digital copies of music for marking and, if necessary, printing.

I try to arrange lessons so as not to conflict with my performance activities, but may have to rearrange lessons (well in advance) if necessary.

For everyone's health and safety, students or their parents are kindly asked to please cancel lessons or arrange to have them online in cases where they are ill but still want to attend, and only attend lessons in person once again when they are symptom-free. Thank you in advance for your understanding!

About Me

Hello! I am an Australian professional cellist now living in Liège.

I'm delighted to bring my skills and experience to Belgium and draw on those from my fellow artists and citizens here.

I love teaching people of all ages and levels, helping them learn and develop as best I can, and firmly believe in positive teaching methods.

I recently graduated with distinction from the Master of Music degree program at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp in the class of Professor Olsi Leka, and am now seeking to establish myself here as a teacher and performer.

I already perform occasionally as a cellist with the Belgian National Orchestra and performed frequently in Australia with leading orchestras such as the Opera Australia Orchestra resident in the famous Sydney Opera House, the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra and the Canberra Symphony Orchestra of the national capital.

I've also performed at hundreds of important occasions of all kinds, personal and institutional, and taught at prestigious as well as small schools; all experiences which have been meaningful, each in their own way.

I am a product of different teaching methods including Suzuki and can teach in whatever way the student likes or finds most enjoyable and beneficial. There is no single right way to learn, but I certainly take utmost care to avoid the wrong ways!

Lessons normally take place at my house in the old city center but traveling may be possible by negotiation.

I am more than happy to teach in English, Dutch or German, and soon enough in French of course too.

I look forward very much to fielding your inquiries and embarking together on a wonderfully enriching journey!

Cello lessons in Liège and its surroundings. Classes for adults and children from 4 years old, for all levels.
Cellist graduated from the Royal Conservatory of Liège (Specialized Master and Didactic Master), I offer cello lessons adapted to your desires. As much for adults as for children. No musical knowledge is necessary (music theory), I will gradually teach you the basic notions, a musical training course is therefore not essential.
As for the instrument, do not hesitate to contact me, many options exist (rental, hire-sale, etc.) and I will inform you with great pleasure.
All ages, all levels and all music of course!
Looking forward to meeting you and to share with you my passion for this magnificent instrument !!!

My name is Apolline, I am a 26-year-old flautist and I am studying in the first year of a didactic master at the Royal Conservatory of Liège. I love to teach, and I used to be a flute teacher, I even started teaching when I was 17! I am passionate about transmitting my passion, and whatever your level, beginner or advanced, I will always try to bring you the maximum so that you can evolve with your instrument. I can also teach you the basics you need in music theory to play whatever you want!

I am passionate about the body and the breath: I was able to participate and be trained in music therapy in France at the "Léthée Musicale" institute in Lyon, and I also have some knowledge of the "TIMANI" method of body awareness that I was able to discover in Oslo, Norway. I see the flute as a well-being, a connection with one's own body and one's listening. Ideal for young children, whether for concentration or synchronization, but also for adults, who are rarely used to listening to themselves...

Live or Skype lessons.
Graduated from a bachelor's degree in violin at the Liège conservatory, I am continuing this year with a didactic mater.
I have been giving private lessons for 8 years. And since last year I also teach in non-profit organization.
I intervened as reinforcement of academy teachers, as a tutor and as a trainer, as the first teacher. Then with adults, after a stop more or less consistent or just to achieve a dream. I was able to acquire during my studies, a great experience of orchestral musician.

I teach children and adults of all levels. The courses are adapted according to the objectives and the tastes of each one. Music training can be approached to discover the basics or consolidate them. All the repertoires can be work: from the classical to the contemporary, passing the musics of films or the variety.
I wish above all to discover and transmit my passion that is the violin. It is a beautiful instrument that requires rigor but that can be approached in joy and good mood.

Solfeggio and body-percussion are tools that serve to improve mental functions, such as concentration, state of mind, self-confidence, motor skills and multitasking, which are also used to work on different musical instruments as well as have useful tools to find good solutions, or smarter solutions to everything in life. It is also a door for a cultural introduction to the arts, cultures of different countries, knowledge of different languages, it is naturally a good way to introduce an integral education which improves in particular the quality of life.

Graduated in music theory and piano, I will be delighted to teach you the basics of these practices and, if you like, to deepen this area with you. The times I can teach vary depending on my work schedule, so this needs to be discussed.

I give lessons of 1 hour, at home if necessary, for students of all levels and styles of play. My teaching covers both classical music and modern flute (jazz, etc.); the work done can focus on music of the student's choice, or I can simply redirect it to methods and scores if he wishes to work on them together. The idea is to progress, but above all to have fun, the two go hand in hand.

I give lessons in Liège.

This course is aimed at future guitarists and musicians. The objective of this course is to learn how to play the guitar without having theoretical knowledge, as well as to learn music theory, how to read a score, the notes and know the basic notions that make up music, you will learn a variety of tapping techniques for the guitar, how to play musical pieces, I practice the Spanish theme. During my teaching lessons, the emphasis is placed on:

- guitar posture, technique and sound
- timing and rhythmic feeling
- the accompaniment and grooves
- interpretation
- music theory and knowledge
- improvisation
- the directory (student's wishlist)
The study material is made in three dimensions: scores, tutorials and coaching.
After agreeing with the student on the pieces / songs to work on, the corresponding score is shared and given to the class. I go through it, and I also play it live to the student for even more accessibility. And then I explain what needs to be clarified to prepare the homework. If you are an absolute beginner, don't worry, I will be with you, and step by step you will learn to play the guitar and know how to read musical notes to tell you my 5 year old brother is able to play the guitar.
