Class Experience
Beginner - Advanced Level
In these private cello lessons, students will receive individualized instruction to develop their cello playing skills. Whether you're a beginner looking to learn the basics or an advanced player aiming to refine your technique, these lessons will cater to your specific needs. Throughout the course, we will cover various topics, including proper posture, bowing technique, fingering exercises, reading sheet music, musical expression, and repertoire selection. The lessons will be structured to address your goals and progress at your own pace. As your instructor, I will provide personalized guidance and feedback to help you improve your technique, musicality, and overall performance. I believe in a supportive and encouraging teaching style, creating a positive learning environment that fosters growth and confidence. During the lessons, you will have ample opportunities to interact with me through live video sessions. I will demonstrate techniques, provide explanations, and answer any questions you may have. We will also engage in discussions about musical interpretation and practice strategies to enhance your learning experience. No prior experience is required to join these lessons. Whether you're a complete beginner or have some prior knowledge of playing the cello, I will tailor the lessons to suit your current skill level.
