Hi! I am Carla and I am an experienced cello teacher

Since I was a child, music has been an important part of my life. I started learning music when I was 4 years old and cello when at the age of 6. I discovered the love for music and that is what I share with my students. For that reason, I followed the minor in Music Education during my studies in The Royal Conservatoire of The Hague.

I am an enthusiast and patient teacher that will offer custom-made lessons. I have opened my own teaching studio in The Hague where I have around 20 students of all levels and ages. In the lessons, we inspire each other, learn the technique, and work on musicality and music understanding.

Have you always wanted to play cello or you want to improve your skills?

Let's start working together!


Hi! I am Carla and I am an experienced cello teacher

Music has always been a significant part of my life, ever since I was a child. At the age of 4, I began learning music, and I started playing the cello when I was 6. It was through these experiences that I developed a deep love for music, and it is this passion that I aim to share with my students. This is why I pursued a minor in Music Education during my studies at The Royal Conservatoire of The Hague.


As a dedicated and patient teacher, I offer customized lessons to my students. I have established my own teaching studio in The Hague, where I currently have around 20 students of all ages and skill levels. In our lessons, we strive to inspire one another and focus on developing technical proficiency, musicality, and a greater understanding of music.

Let's start working together!

in my lessons we will...

Get to know each other

We will do an introductory lesson to find the best teaching approach and to build a customized plan.

  • Which are your expectations?
  • Which music do you like?
  • Are you preparing for an audition?
Are you a complete beginner?

Then, we will learn how to read the notes. In the first lesson you will already be able to play some songs.

Learn in a friendly environment

We will work on cello technique to express yourself avoiding injuries by combining your favorite songs with cello methods.


In case of young beginners, we will do cello games to learn in a fun environment!

Play together

Playing with other musicians is very inspiring and enriching. We will always play duos in the lesson and you will have the opportunity, from time to time, to have lessons accompanied by a pianist.

Perform regularly!

Twice a year, I organise concerts for my students in my teaching space, Pandora Studio. Having a goal is the perfect way to finding motivation and learn.

Do you need a cello? I can help you get one!


You don't need to have a cello for the trial lesson. We can do it with mine! Afterwards, I will recommend you some stores where you can rent or buy one!


Lessons in different languages!

in my lessons we will...

Get to know each other

In the introductory lesson, we will discuss your learning goals and preferences in order to develop a customized teaching plan that is tailored to your needs.

Let me know your expectations, as well as any music or specific skills you are interested in focusing on.

Are you preparing for an audition or working towards a particular musical goal?

Are you a complete beginner?

Don’t worry! In the first lesson, I will teach you how to read musical notes. With a little practice, you will soon be able to play some songs on your own.

Learn in a friendly environment

Learn cello in a friendly and supportive environment with a focus on technique and injury prevention.
By combining your favorite songs with proven cello methods, you will be able to express yourself on the instrument while also developing good habits. For young beginners, we will play cello games and do other fun activities to make learning enjoyable and engaging.

Play together

Playing music with others can be incredibly inspiring and enriching. During lessons, we will play duets and, occasionally, you will have the opportunity to work with a pianist. Don't miss out on the chance to collaborate and grow as a musician through shared experiences with your peers!

Perform regularly!

Twice a year, I host concerts for my students at Pandora Studio as a way to motivate you and challenge you to learn and improve their skills. These events also provide a chance for you to showcase your hard work and talent to an audience. By setting and working towards a performance goal, you will be able to stay motivated and committed to your music practice.

my students say

“The lessons are of good quality. Nice teacher who really takes the time for you. I have already learned a lot from Carla, which gave me even more pleasure in playing the cello. Best cello teacher I've ever had!” 

Daphne

"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."

Diana, Emma's mother

"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."

Patricia, Naja's mother

"I take cello classes with Carla and her classes always are a great inspiration, fun, and leave me super motivated. Pandora Studio is a great place to get creative and to enjoy music and art. Can highly recommend!"
