Cello Lessons
I have been teaching cello in Brighton for 10 years and have worked with students of all ages and abilities.
I teach both the ABRSM and Trinity syllabus should exams be on the agenda. I am eager for students to succeed and to make the most of their potential and, above all, aim to promote learning through enjoyment.
As well as practical musicianship and music theory, studying the cello will give you an appreciation of the nuances of classical and popular music and the cello's role within these genres.
My qualifications include BA (hons) in Music and ABRSM grade VIII. I am fully DBS checked and have had safeguarding training.
The cello is a beautifully complex and rewarding instrument to play, so if you'd like to have a go, contact me here or see the FAQs for more information.

Testimonials
"A is a brilliant teacher. I was worried that starting cello from scratch at 22 would be especially difficult, but they took me through the basics systematically and clearly. A natural teacher, A is intuitive and has a great understanding of the learning process. A’s encouragement has seen me through some tricky new things and I grow in confidence every time. Lessons are enjoyable and challenging, and I strongly recommend them!" Sophie E.
"A is an amazing teacher. They have helped me to grade 4 while being kind and understanding of my Asperger's. I 100% recommend them." Ben K.
“A does a great job of motivating both my 6 year old and myself! They make learning fun for my daughter with creative music writing ideas.” Yvonne D.
“A welcomes me every week with a huge smile and positivity. Starting to learn to play the cello at 42 has been wonderful and it is mainly from the support, encouragement and sensitivity of A. They get that I am learning for enjoyment and not to achieve big things, but just to play and get lost in the cello, and for it to be joyful. Thank you, A, for never judging, just supporting and pushing me on with positivity when I need it.” Jo B.
