(1 review)

Personal Description:

Hi! My name is David,**Removed By Admin**, and I am a Swedish cellist based in London. I grew up in a family of classical musicians and started playing the cello at the age of six. My passion for music led me to study at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm before completing my Master’s at Guildhall School of Music & Drama. I have performed as a cellist with Southbank Sinfonia, London City Philharmonic, and collaborated with renowned ensembles such as the Royal Opera House Orchestra and Academy of St Martin in the Fields.

Alongside my performance career, I have been teaching for over a decade, working with students of all ages and levels. I recently served as a deputy cello teacher for Music Education Islington, the music hub led by Guildhall School of Music & Drama and Islington Council, and have delivered education and outreach workshops with Wigmore Hall. My experience also includes leading side-by-side coaching and sectional rehearsals with schools like Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School and In Harmony Lambeth.

Whether you're looking for personalized lessons, preparing for graded exams, or wanting to build confidence in ensemble playing, I tailor lessons to meet each student’s needs.
