Cello lessons for every age and level in beautiful Utrecht!

From 119.97 C$ /h

My name is Katerina, and I am a Greek, hardworking, and ambitious young cellist. I live in beautiful Utrecht for the last six years and, even if my Dutch is not perfect, I feel the Netherlands as my second home.
Through my lessons, a pupil will be able to advance their technique, their understanding, and perception of music and their musicality. All these will be achieved through an individual model designed from every pupil based on their abilities, age, the time they want to spend on personal practicing and level. For me, each pupil must be taken care of at their own pace and based on their own needs and abilities, so the lessons will be as efficient and productive but as much enjoyable and fun as possible.

About Me

I started playing cello when I was six years old, and I immediately fell in love with it. I basically knew already I want to become a professional musician the moment I played my first note!
After finishing my music studies in Greece, I decided I want to travel the world and find the perfect place for me to further my studies and involve my cello playing. I traveled, and I found Utrecht to be the place I was looking for!

Education

I received my Bachelor’s degree from Utrechts Conservatorium after four years of practicing and meeting new people and music experiences. After my Bachelor’s, I spent a year studying in the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. Now, I am on my final year of my Master degree back in HKU.

Experience / Qualifications

Apart from studying, I play in various avenues around the Netherlands, I am a member in chamber music ensembles, I participate in semi-professional orchestras, and I offer private lessons to anyone who would like to play the cello!

Hallo allemaal!

I have been working for 12 years as a piano and music teacher (I started very very young, when I was 14 years old, because I always liked teaching): I have experience in private lessons and official state music schools, with children from 2 years and adults of all levels, both teaching individually and in groups. I have taught piano, music and movement for children, music theory, solfeggio and choir.

Learn to enjoy music together while playing cello with me!

- I help to prepare for music/cello exams towards Music Academies as well as I assist students with practicing.

- I work with beginners, helping them with the basics of cello techinque together with basic music theory

- One of my methods while teaching is to play together with a student as much as possible to teach them the art of chamber music but also good communication skills while practicing together.

- I combine different methods depending on the student's needs (and technical level)

- as a professional cellist with an educational studies background I implement different psychological ideas including observational learning, ideas of Piaget and Vygotsky, and others

- I use the background in Feldenkrais technique lessons in my own teaching

Learning how to play an instrument like drums can be the most satisfying feeling. Being able to express yourself musically on a stage with other musicians the best experience in the world. Drummers are beat makers, groove is what make people move or swing their heads. Being a musician means connecting with everyone in the crowd and giving them a great time!

Ever wanted or dreamed of becoming a drummer and to play in a band? Never had the opportunity or the chance to do it? This might be your time to take action and I could guide you in small steps to realize your drumming dreams.

My lessons are focused mainly on music and performing, for all levels. If you're a beginner I'll guide you through the fundamentals of rhythm with a musical approach. If you're already an intermediate drummer and wanna take it to the next level I'll provide you with the best material to push your boundaries even further!

Book now your lesson and make it happen!

Hello!
I am Irene, a graduated Master student at HKU Utrecht Conservatorium, and I offer cello lessons to people of all ages, both online and in person.
I have more than 7 years of experience teaching both adults and children, in private lessons, group lessons and music schools.
I have also taught music theory and piano to beginners.
The lessons could work in different ways: regular lessons every one or two weeks, or just a couple of times, etc. I have had students that only wanted to learn a bit, and I also have students that have continued for some years with me. I could also adjust the duration of the lessons from 30mins (especially for younger kids) to 1h.
The lessons can be in English and Spanish, and now also in Nederlands! (work in progress!)
The lesson can be in the student's home or in my studio in Vogelenbuurt, and also online! Flexible hours.
I give personalised attention and methods to each one of my students, as everyone is different!

If you have questions, please contact me!
I hope to see you soon!

My name is Wilma, and I have been playing the cello for most of my life. I am passionate about teaching, and have a lot of experience with it.

In my lessons, there is a good balance between technique and musicality. Knowing how to (technically) play the cello is important for being able to express yourself on it, and making beautiful music is the reason we play!

I involve my students in the process of investigating problems and experimenting with solutions. This gives people a better understanding of the challenges, and motivates them to engage with those.

It is particularly interesting that every person has a different way of learning and different needs, and I enjoy tailoring my approach to each student's personality, requirements and tastes, so she or he can optimally learn.

Above all, I love inspiring people, seeing them discover their own aptitude for music and growing as musicians. Playing the cello is a wonderful and fun experience and I heartily welcome anyone who would like to come on this adventure!

I teach in Amsterdam on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, in Zaandam in Thursdays, and in Utrecht on Saturdays.

Have you always wanted to play a bow string instrument but have never dared? Are you advanced cellist and you want to increase your playing level? Restarting the cello after a break and you need some inspiration and help? In my lessons I will teach you classical repertoire of the cello, but also, if you wish, we can work on some alternative repertoire. Moreover, we will work on technical aspects (bowings, left hand) as well as how to create the healthiest posture to play cello. You will find with me the endless possibilities of this instrument.

Furthermore, if you need some coach for your chamber music group, I can help you. Chamber music has been always integrated in my music education.

I want to base my lessons on playing the guitar and related instruments in a way that feels mastered and personal.

I therefore want to focus on expression, technique and the aurally malleable nature of the instrument, for example by discussing extended techniques and the use of effect pedals. I want to invite the students to learn to listen carefully to the impact of different playing techniques and audio effects.

During the lessons I want to cover different kinds of music theory, especially in an "applied" way that is valuable to the student. I also want to deal with recording and producing my own work.

Owning your own effects pedals, a guitar amplifier or recording equipment is not required for this course.

1- A course in playing the oud for beginners, how to tune the instrument in an easy and simple way for beginners, and technical exercises for the plectrum and fingers and getting the correct sound from the instrument.

2- A course in Arabic singing and its principles accompanied by the oud
Through five lessons, the student is able to learn two basic musical instruments, perform songs that suit the trainee’s voice, and learn some vocal techniques (Arabs)
He played some simple songs on the oud
It enables the singing student to understand the nature of his voice and its sound space, and to link singing with the correct pitch and the principles of playing the Oud instrument

Hello everyone, I'm Enrico and I come from Italy. Right now I am in Utrecht where I am doing a master's degree in cello under the guidance of Timora Rosler.
During my years of studies I always had the possibility to teach music, in fact while I was doing my Bachelor in Italy at the Conservatory of Turin, I taught cello and music theory in a private music school called "Isla de Musiqueros", in this school I had the opportunity to teach people of all ages, including children under 4 years old.
When I moved to the Netherlands little by little I started to find students and many many concerts.

I believe that playing is the best way to have fun and express your emotions, the work I want to do is work on tensions and try to help you melt away while playing, in this way you can have more sound and feel more free.
Technique is also very important in the everyday life of a musician, together we can see the best exercises for you, to help you improve and have more confidence with the instrument.

We learn through passion. The more we feel we can receive learning, the more it is transmitted through passion.

I was lucky enough to have very good teachers throughout my education and now I want to pass on my knowledge to my students.

In my teaching, I want to "read" the student sitting in the room with me and conclude which of the many possibilities might work specifically for him or her.

I was trained as a classical musician and over the years I also found folk music very interesting because it connects you with the stories and traditions of a certain country or region. With this I want to say that different types of music are welcome in my lessons.

If you like music, if you like the warm sound of the cello, try a lesson and see how it goes. You're welcome.

I offer a holistic, well-rounded music education for all ages and abilities. The training I provide is tailored towards the students personal learning objectives and goals, some of these include solo performance, improvisation, playing in an ensemble and composition.

My approach combines conventional and alternative teaching methods, such as reading music, playing by ear, solfeggio, the suzuki method and mindfulness. The three aspects I prioritize in my lessons are imagination, experimentation and creativity.

My method focuses on understanding and expanding the students' musical capacities by means of an integrative approach that includes physical training, technique and comprehension.
