Although I still find intonation and bowing across strings challenging, Maria provides personalised exercises that directly target these areas.
The only downside is that the method book we use features mostly children’s songs, which aren’t very engaging for an adult learner like myself. However, it’s well structured and builds skills progressively. Plus, Maria is open to teaching your musical suggestions.
I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled, adaptable cello teacher
He has felt very relaxed and has enjoyed immensely these lessons with Maria. She explains to him teachings in a clear way in which he can understand and reproduce on the keyboard. It is a new area for him to explore, and is adapting to… with interest.
Thank you.

Learning to play the cello is not easy(especially at my age) but Aiste Maria makes the lessons a positive experience so I come away feeling a sense of achievement.
She seems genuinely interested in my progress and keeps me encouraged at every step.
I highly recommend her to anyone (young or old) who would like to learn to play.
Aiste Maria is a warm, patient and enthusiastic teacher, helping me to learn the theory and practice of music. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to learn the piano.
