About Me
Petronella was raised in a very small village in one of the most beautiful areas of rural Sweden. She spent her early youth among wild animals in the big forest and all other kinds of animals she could possibly find and take home to the family farm. One day, Petronella suddenly decided that she wanted to become a fantastic cellist, not anymore a world-famous horse rider. It took everyone by surprise. Petronella studied a music program in Highschool, ‘Orkestermusikerprogramet’ in Vänersborg. Upon finishing her basic education, she went even deeper into the Swedish wilderness to the beautiful city of Arvika. Where she studied with the Lektor Lars-Inge Bjärlestam at Ingesund. Petronella started her conservatorium education in Odense, Denmark; the home of great artists such as H.C. Andersen and Carl Nielsen. Her professor for the three-year bachelor course was the great solo cellist of Malmö Symfoniorkestra, Professor Niels Ullner.Then Petronella did an Erasmus year in Holland in the wonderful town of Maastricht. At the Maastricht Conservatorium, she worked with Ursula Smith (Professor at the Guildhall School of Music (London) and solo Cellist in Esbjerg Ensemble in Denmark).
Now Petronella just finished studying her master in music performance in Liège (Belgium) at the Royal Conservatorium of Liège with Professor Jean-Paul Zanutel.
In a letter of recommendation Professor Niels Ullner writes
It is with pleasure that I give the following statement about the young Swedish cellist, Petronella. She is a serious and hard working student. Petronella combines her fine musicality and sense of tone production with a strong ambition to constantly improve her playing which has really payed off during the last years.
2016 Petronella started her company “A Swedish cellist” and her project “Take Away Concerts – Feed your Ears”. Her idea is that you can order a concert to your home like take away food. Her mission is to spread the classical music and build bridges between people and music. She also did a project in Sweden called “the Christmas Present of the Year is a Cellist”. This was a big success with 19 concerts in two weeks.

Excellent teacher, motivating, empathic, very skilled,
"Come as you are and become what you want"
The cello is a wonderful instrument( the best) with a sound much like the human voice. You can play any genre and alone or in huge groups, only your imagination can set the limits.
As a cello teacher, my mission with my cello school is to create an interest in my students and give the knowledge of learning how to learn. I want every student that has a lesson with me get the value of learning and create lifelong interest for the cello. The cellist life is filled with community, friendship, history
Not only the skill to play but the interest to do so through the whole life. The skills you learn with your instrument is also transparent to other parts of your life.
Nobody ever said I regret that I learned to play the cello.
In the cello lessons we learn:
Study techniques: How to learn and practice
Goals: How to set goals and reach them
Memorizing: how to train the ability to memorise
Expression: How to express our feelings and tell stories
Stage performance: How to meet an audience (without stage anxiety ) how to perform our best at any given moment
Self-esteem and self-confidence: How to build up and discover who we are and what we can do
As a cellist, we need abilities as craftsmen, human and an artist. A cello player needs all three ingredients, that is why learning an instrument is a gift not only in music but for life.
Miss music lessons for children:
In a class with miss music, you get to enter the world of music together with her best friend Mr. Cello Bello. Together you go on musical adventures singing, moving, and playing. Some of the adventures are:
Music mind games
There have been several studies made on how humans learn best and if I look back on my own learning development and experience with students over the year there is one way that has proven itself over and over again, having FUN!
Yes, good grades are often a great indicator of how interested you are in a subject because we learn more when we have fun. Memory also works after strong feelings, which means that when you experience strong happy feelings they become memories that stay with you through your life.
I always try to play in information and work proactive with my students, I want it to be easy and like to prepare them to succeed with what they do no matter their age. By learning step by step music opens up a world for everyone that likes to, yes, play.
Music mind games are a creative way of learning that Michiko Yurko the founder of the game created to learn music to children using the theoretical knowledge in a creative way with colors, memory games, dances, and every other imaginative way of making learning fun.
I have a certified education in music mind games and like to use it in my lessons together with new games I developed.
Examples of games that we like to play:
Hide and seek the notes ( a game where you can hide different things that sound, anything can be a musical instrument, but also to hide actual instrument is fun)
Dance and freeze: the game where you dance and have to freeze when the music stops
Bubbles, balls, and other requisite: Soap bubbles are fascination and a perfect way to play with music and play with the things we sing about.
Through human history, we have learned through singing songs and it is a great way of learning about things by singing about them and making different movements.
Listening and hearing music
It is important to get to know music and listen to it not only hearing it. I like to have a moment in every lesson where we listen to music. Studies have shown that listening to complex music as a toddler really helps with developing skills as cognitive abilities, language abilities, perfect pitch, and many more.
Through human history, we have learned through singing songs and it is a great way of learning about things by singing about them.
I like to work proactively towards that the children learn:
How to listen and imitate notes, rhythm, melodies
Learn note reading
Learn how to make music by themself, express themself through music
Move and listen to music
Recognize notes and accords
Learning how to learn, in a music lesson, you learn more than just the subject music you also get skills like learning how to learn, imitate, listen, concentrate, curiosity, creativity, and many more.
Learning music will give you skills that are useful in your entire life.

PLACES, FEES
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

Andrea
Classical and modern cello classes in BarcelonaHello! I've been teaching continuously for over 10 years, and I'd like to explain what you can expect from a class with me.
Personalized approach: The most important thing is to know what you want to achieve. I will tailor the lessons to your needs: playing for pleasure at home is not the same as preparing for entrance exams (although always with the same rigor). Your goals will influence the methodology, the organization of your studies, the repertoire, and so on.
Relaxed (but rigorous) environment: Once you've defined your goals, classes will be dynamic and pressure-free. Note! "Relaxed" doesn't mean undemanding; we'll just avoid military methods—especially given my personality and sense of humor.
Music, not just notes: My methods are very dynamic, with a special emphasis on hearing and musicality. No "read, play, and turn the page." I avoid approaches obsessed with reading sheet music without memorizing, listening, or understanding what is being played. I want you to own your performance and make artistic decisions. Warning! I might even make you sing.
No stylistic barriers: Thanks to my training in Jazz and Modern Music, I give equal importance to all genres. Adapting to your tastes, we'll go from baroque to blues, from Haydn to bebop... or even Michael Jackson. Why not?
If you identify with this approach, contact me! Learning the cello is a pleasure, and I'd love to share it with you!

Fun Time Singing Musical Songs with Kids & Adults 💛VOCAL lessons are divided into 2 parts -
1) Warmup Exercise and 2) Singing Exercise.
We do both parts in every lessons. Ideally we spend every 2-3 sessions for each song.
For kids, a 30-min online lesson / 45-min face-to-face lesson would be long enough for their attention.
For adults, it's good to start with a 50-min online lesson!
Also, we do music appreciation occasionally during the session. Some other learning materials like music videos are applied based on song choices.
Deborah
Individual Music and singing lessons for children 4-12 years and music Theory.Do you like singing? Or do you walk around with songs in your head all day? Then take singing lessons with Deborah online or in Amstelveen Westwijk. We sing songs from different countries and times. We will also work on different rhythms, notes and tone exercises.
If you are busy singing you can even have a completely different feeling and you can ensure that you have extra energy for the rest of the day.
Your body is your instrument when singing. We try to make that instrument sound as beautiful as possible..
During the singing lessons we also work on articulation, the pronunciation of foreign languages and also on the meaning of and your feelings about a particular piece. Of course we decide together what kind of music you will sing. We will also make a journey of discovery together to your favorite music.
WHO CAN LEARN TO SING?
Anyone can learn to sing. That will be because of the singing lessons. Also singing is good for relaxation, both of body and mind. Singing is simply fun!

Flute lessons (transverse flute, transverse flute, recorder) for all levels from a university graduate and internationally active artist.Hello dear flute fans, modern and historical :-)
For me, music is not just sound, but also expression, connection, and a lifelong learning process. Teaching is fulfilling because I get to witness how music opens doors, builds self-confidence, and unleashes creativity. Every student has their own story, their own pace, and individual goals – this makes the lessons lively and unique. I give my best, am patient, curious, and always open to my students. It is simply a gift to be part of this journey and to discover the language of music together with my students. I teach modern flute, transverse flute, and recorder.
