Hi, my name is Robert! I am a conductor, singer, composer and teacher based in London. I started learning piano when I was 3 years old and studied at Junior Guildhall until the age of 8. I then sang as a chorister in the choir of New College, Oxford, where I also began to play the cello. During my teens, I reached grade 8 at the piano and cello, and achieved a Diploma in singing performance. At the University of Manchester, I began to study conducting, eventually directing the University chamber choir, Ad Solem, before graduating with first class honours. During this time I also sang in the Genesis Sixteen choral program, which offered intensive training for elite young choral singers led by The Sixteen. I have beenΒ teaching singing, piano, cello and conducting privately ever since graduating, as well as directing several choirs and ensembles. I work frequently for the National Youth Choirs, London Youth Choirs, and Nottingham Youth Orchestra, and am currently employed as a teacher in the Royal College of Music Junior Department. I can offer singing and conducting tuition at all standards, and piano and cello up to grade 6. Music Qualifications & Achievements: University of Manchester MusB first class DipABRSM in Singing Performance ABRSM Grade 8 in Piano ABRSM Grade 8 in Cello

Who cello lessons are for

Beginners to advanced students preparing for conservatoire, auditions or performance.

What you’ll learn in cello lessons

Bow technique, shifting, tone, repertoire and musical expression.

Online vs in-person cello lessons

In-person tuition is invaluable for bowing technique; online lessons are effective for musical coaching and repertoire work.

A simple learning path for cello

A good teacher will tailor lessons to your goals β€” but here’s what progress often looks like.

Weeks 1–4: Foundations
1

Set up, posture, simple bowing and basic scales to develop clear tone.

Months 2–4: Technique & repertoire
2

Develop shifting, vibrato beginnings and work on standard repertoire and orchestral excerpts.

Months 4+: Performance & audition prep
3

Prepare concerto/sonata excerpts, chamber music and audition materials with focused coaching.

Getting started: what you need

Keep it simple at first β€” your teacher can help you choose the right setup.

  • A well-setup cello and bow with a teacher-recommended string choice.
  • A quiet practice space and a tuner/metronome for intonation and rhythm work.
  • Regular practice focusing on bow distribution and left-hand accuracy.

Styles & goals your teacher can support

Choose a direction β€” lessons can be tailored around what you actually want to play.

Classical & orchestral
Popular

Tone production, orchestral excerpts and ensemble blending.

Chamber music
Popular

Communication, phrasing and repertoire for small ensembles.

Contemporary
