FAQs
Do I need previous experience?
No. I teach both complete beginners and experienced cellists.
Do I need a cello for the first lesson?
You don’t need one for the trial lesson- even if it's recommended- I can provide it. Afterwards, I will recommend rental shops in The Hague and guide you through the process of getting the appropriate instrument.
Should I buy an instrument?
When you're a beginner, renting is the best option. It's better to buy an instrument later, when you have been playing for a longer time and have a more clear idea of which kind of instrument you are looking for.
My child is 5 years old. Is it too early to start?
Not at all! We’ll incorporate games to help maintain focus and make learning fun.
I don’t know how to read music.
No problem at all — we will learn it step by step together.
Where do the lessons take place?
At Pandora Studio, De Constant Rebecquestraat 3, The Hague. Accessible by trams 2, 3, 4, and 11. Free parking until 18h.
In which language are the lessons?
I teach in English, French, Spanish, Dutch, and Catalan.
How often should I have a lesson?
Weekly lessons are ideal for consistent progress and motivation. At this moment, I am only accepting students that have lessons every wee4k.
Is music theory also taught during the lessons?
Yes, it’s integrated into the lessons to help develop musical understanding and expression.
Are there recitals during the year?
Yes. Children and teens perform in 3 concerts per year (Dec – Mar – Jul); adults have 1 concert per year.
What happens if a student has to miss a lesson?
Cancellations are fine with at least 24 hours’ notice. Otherwise, the full fee is charged.
Testimonials
About two years ago, I decided to pick up the cello as a new instrument. Since then, I’ve been studying with Carla, who has given me a solid foundation in technique and valuable musical insight into the pieces I’ve played. Under her guidance, I’ve developed a deeper interest in the cello than I’ve ever had with any other instrument. Thanks to Carla’s expertise, I’ve discovered a passion I’ll likely carry for life. If you’re thinking about learning the cello, I highly recommend studying with Carla.
Guus
Carla is a great cello teacher. She selects music that helps build her student’s skills and technique. I love how she plays her cello with her students. Having a professional musician playing alongside gives an instant concert feel and is motivating for her students. My daughter looks forward to her lessons. We can highly recommend Carla.

I feel so lucky that I found Carla/Pandora Studio. She's an excellent teacher – kind and patient, but not afraid to push you a little – and obviously cares very much about her students. I always look forward to our lessons and feel motivated to practice what I've learned. Highly recommended.
Saskia
Naja was part of an orchestra in her school and she was learning cello very slowly, and was very unmotivated. In 3 lessons with Carla, she learned new notes, she started practicing every day and she started enjoying playing cello. Carla has caused a positive impact in Naja.
