I provide private cello lessons for adult students at all levels in the Berlin, Germany area. I teach primarily in English or German but can also teach in French, some basic Spanish and Portuguese. I have a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in cello performance as well as over 15 years of teaching experience.
I also offer regular group classes for adults, deep diving into specific topics of cello technique or different repertoire.
Extra information
I have one cello available at my private teaching studio for use during lessons. I will also provide most sheet music materials. Bring the sheets you own and your own cello if you have them.

Dalai
Are you curious about learning the cello, or eager to expand your playing into new sonic territories? I’m Dalai, a Greek-Mongolian cellist, singer, and composer based between Berlin and Melbourne. I offer private lessons to students of all ages and levels — from children picking up their first string, to experienced players seeking creative growth.

🎻 What I Teach & How

Fundamental technique & musicality — proper posture, bowing, intonation, phrasing

Classical & contemporary repertoire — from Bach to modern works

Improvisation, composition & creative exploration — help you develop your own voice

Electric / effects / extended cello techniques — looping, pedals, sound design

Voice + cello integration, recording & performance coaching

Stage presence & confidence building — preparing for recitals, studio work, or collaborative projects

My lessons are highly individualized. I adapt to your pace, interests, and goals. I value curiosity and experimentation: we’ll combine structure with freedom so you can grow technically and artistically.

🌍 My Experience & Why I Teach

I studied Classical Cello with distinction in Athens and trained further with eminent teachers such as Dimitrios Gouzios, Catalin Ilea, and Lucio Amanti. Since relocating to Berlin in 2008, I’ve been immersed in experimental, free jazz, and contemporary music scenes.

I perform in projects like Black Veil and Antiqva, have composed for theater (including The Robbers at Meiningen National Theater), and worked in film & art productions collaborating with composers like Johnny Klimek and Mario Grigorov.

Teaching is a core part of my musical mission. I believe technique should serve expression — and that every student’s voice is unique. Whether your goal is mastery of classical works, sonic experimentation, or composing your own music, I aim to support your growth with clarity, empathy, and creative openness.
