Welcome to
Hello! My name is Svetlana and I am a professional cello tutor located in Bournemouth. I offer enjoyable cello lessons for ages 5 and up.
I personally love a wide range of genres & I want this to reflect in my lessons. I will always make sure to teach you the music you love.
I teach all ages but would recommend you start learning n younger than age 5. I have 31 years of work experience with children of various ages (5 – 15 years old).

Above all else, I like to make sure my lessons are enjoy for all of my students. I believe that students who enjoy themselves will always make better progress over short periods of time.
I will build our lessons around music that is familiar and around music that you like to listen too. We will assess what your goals are when it comes to playing & I will make a lesson plan that best suits your needs as a learner and player.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I welcome both beginners and experienced players & have a wide range of experience in teaching both in a wide range of styles.
I am an experienced player and teacher with over 30 years of teaching experience. I have also been a Specialist Music Teacher in Primary Schools in Dorset area as well as an Instrumental Music Teacher (Cello and Piano). I finished a Music college in 1988 and a University in 2005.

I am a flexible, imaginative, sympathetic and enthusiastic person, responding well to the children and their needs as every child should be provided with an educational experience that is personalised.
When working with children and youth in general, it is important to set and provide an example of exceptional communication skills as I have observed that children tend to mimic the adults and perpetuate the behaviour exhibited by those said adults.
I like to think that my lessons are always enjoyable for my students and this is something that I would like to always ensure for all of my students.
As a trilingual person (fluent in English, Russian, and Ukrainian), my lived experience in two different countries has taught me how to be more sensitive and compassionate when teaching students. I will always help put you on the right path when it comes to learning the Cello
Bournemouth has a vibrant music scene and plenty of music shops & courses to match that. Here are a few I'd recommend.
Absolute Music, located at 855 Ringwood Road, Bournemouth, BH11 8NE, Is a great all-round music store where you should be able to find something for everyone. Their staff are always to help out beginners and advanced musicians alike.
Music is life, located on 190 Seabourne Road, Bournemouth, BH5 2JB, has a great range of instruments as well as a great selection of sheet music. This is a small independent store but is definitely worth checking out.
Bournemouth & Poole College, offer courses such as BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Music Technology, Level 3 Diploma in Music and RSL Level 2 Subsidiary Diploma for Music Practitioners.
I can help you improve all aspects of your playing and understanding of music. Together we will learn in a direction that you want to learn in & feel comfortable learning in. I will create a lesson plan that best suits your needs and goals as a player. For more info please send me an email at any time.
[email protected]My lessons are charged at £17.50 per half hour and £34 per hour for all students.
I take the majority of my lessons from my home teaching space in the BH11 area of Bournemouth.
I teach both young learners (aged 5 upwards) and adults in a wide range of styles and genres.
I recommend weekly lessons for the best results but this is not essential. You're more than welcome to take lessons as and when you like.
If you cancel a lesson with less than 48 hours notice then you will still be charged for the lesson. If you give enough notice then you're more than welcome to re-arrange your lesson.
