Technique & coordination
Sound production, bow control, intonation, shifting and a more efficient physical approach to playing.
02 / Teaching
Individual
cello study.
Individual guidance in technique, sound production, physical coordination, repertoire and performance preparation—for students seeking a more focused and independent approach to playing.
Chengdu · Online · Individual sessions01 / Areas of study
Three connected areas of development.
Repertoire & performance
Phrasing, structure, style, and greater consistency in rehearsals, recordings and performance situations.
Auditions & applications
Repertoire planning and preparation for examinations, competitions, orchestral auditions and conservatoire applications.
02 / What we can work on
Start with what is actually limiting the playing.
Lessons respond to the student’s current playing rather than following a fixed syllabus. Depending on level and goals, areas of work may include:
01
A sound that feels tight, thin or inconsistent, with unstable bow contact or distribution.
02
Recurring intonation problems, uncertain shifting, or coordination between the two hands.
03
Unnecessary tension in the shoulders, arms or left hand that restricts movement.
04
A great deal of practice without a clear understanding of the cause of a problem or what to prioritise.
05
The notes are present, but phrasing, structure, style or musical direction remains unclear.
06
Difficulty maintaining consistency in rehearsals, recordings or performance situations.
03 / Approach
Understand what is happening. Build a way forward.
The aim is not only to identify what is not working, but to help students understand why it happens and develop practical tools for independent practice and continued adjustment.
