What others say
"Das Violoncello ist ein sehr anspruchsvolles Instrument. Man benötigt sehr viel Ausdauer, Geduld und Konsequenz, um es zu erlernen. Ich denke jedoch, dass es sich lohnt! Wer bereit dazu ist, täglich zu üben und das über Jahre hinweg und das Cellospielen wirklich fundiert lernen möchte, sollte sich jedenfalls an Mislav wenden. Nur bei ihm kann man die Spieltechnik von Grund auf erlernen und auch die musikalische Interpretationsarbeit kommt nicht zu kurz. Ich arbeite nun seit ca. 5 ½ Jahren durchgehend mit ihm, hatte 1 Jahr davor neu mit dem Cello begonnen, und wie man sieht noch immer nicht genug davon! Mislav wird nicht müde, mir immer wieder die gleichen Fehler auszubessern, und langsam aber stetig wird man sicherer. Erst dann beginnt das Cello-Spielen, dass man nämlich die Stücke so „spielt“ wie man sie ausdrücken möchte (oder sollte). Das erfordert nicht nur konsequentes Gehör- und Intonationstraining (Ende nie!), sondern natürlich auch das Üben der Bogentechnik, mit der man den Klang formt und die Dynamik umsetzt. Auch die Arbeit an der Körperhaltung endet scheinbar nie, und die Geduld von Mislav, mich hier zu korrigieren, ist eindrucksvoll. In der ersten Stunde hat mich Mislav gefragt, wie fundiert ich das Cellospielen erlernen will, zumal ich auch schon etwas älter bin, und ich habe geantwortet, dass ich es ordentlich von Grund auf lernen möchte, so wie es Cellisten eben tun. Und so machen wir das nun seit mehr als 5 Jahren! Ich würde sagen: wer das auch vor hat, sollte es einfach mal ausprobieren!" - Dr. Thomas Strauch

" I always wanted to learn playing the cello. As a beginner I was worried that it may not be easy to learn at my age. Mislav is a professional and he knew well how to guide me as a beginner to understand and learn. He is patient and friendly and it's a joy to learn from him." - Jeanne Chuang

Studio Policy
Hi there, fellow cellist. I am happy to see you taking interest in what is the most wonderful string instrument. I have been playing the cello for almost two decades and I am still learning every single day. I have been teaching for a few years and I love watching my students grow, enjoy the cello, learn new things and become better at expressing themselves in the universal language of music. Whether you are a complete beginner, an intermediate or advanced level player, I would be happy to offer my guidance and perspective on anything you want to work on and improve. Aside from the technical part of the playing process, I can also be helpful in talking about performance anxiety, specifics of the music major education, preparation for auditions, building up your social media, etc. Book a lesson by clicking on one of the available options above. I look forward to meeting you!

This policy is in place to protect the student, the parent of the student, and the teacher and serves to ensure that lessons run smoothly. I am a performing artist, so all my students need to be flexible with my schedule, as I travel for concerts. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this policy or yours/your child’s lessons, please do not hesitate to contact me.
-
Students may enroll for lessons at any time. Lessons will take place at the teacher’s studio in Vienna, Austria. Online lessons are facilitated using Skype/Facetime/Zoom.
Tuition is paid monthly and is calculated by multiplying the lesson rate by 4 weeks (3 or 5 weeks for certain months). Additional lessons are allowed based on the teacher’s availability. If I am traveling for a big portion of the month, I will let you know in advance, so that the tuition for that month is multiplied by the number of weeks I will be at home.
Single lessons in the form of a consultation or master class are available if you are not ready to commit to a monthly package.
If you have special circumstances that prevent you from taking weekly lessons or traveling to my studio, please contact me directly and I will do my best to accommodate your situation.
Tuition is to be paid at least 24 hours in advance of the first lesson of each month. Tuition is payable by cash, cash apps (PayPal), or bank transfer. For the consultation/single lesson, a one-time lesson fee is to be paid at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled lesson. Your timely payment serves as a confirmation of our time agreement. If I do not hear from you nor get the payment at least 24 hours before the lesson, I reserve the right to reschedule and/or cancel the scheduled lesson.

The student will contact the teacher by phone if they expect to be late for a scheduled lesson. If a student arrives after their scheduled lesson time has begun, the teacher will complete the lesson in the remaining portion of the time slot. Additional time for student tardiness is not guaranteed.
If the teacher arrives after a scheduled lesson has begun, the teacher will give additional time past the time slot to compensate for their tardiness with mutual acceptance of the student’s schedule.
-
Students must cancel/reschedule lessons by phone or email with at least 24-hour notice. Cancellations are considered excused for illness, family emergency, or severe weather (public school closures). Excused cancellations with sufficient notification will be given a make-up lesson within the month or lesson credit towards the following month. No-shows, cancellations without sufficient notification, or unexcused cancellations will not be given make-up lessons or lesson credits.
The teacher may need to cancel a lesson due to illness or family emergency and/or reschedule due to performance engagements or planned vacations. In this case, the teacher will provide a make-up lesson within the month or apply a lesson credit towards the following month. If desired, the make-up lesson can also be taken online via Skype.
If a student cancels a re-scheduled make-up lesson, the lesson will be considered forfeited. Make-up lessons are not guaranteed and are subject to availability. If a make-up lesson is not possible, a lesson credit will be applied toward the following month.
-
Lessons and seminars are considered intellectual property and may not be recorded (audio or video). The teacher is legally protected in case of a breach of this agreement.
The teacher is entitled to immediate termination of the lesson/package without a refund if this rule is broken.
The teacher is entitled to legal action in case of copyright infringement.
-
I do not teach children below the age of 10 via Skype as they require hands-on work to form correct playing habits and posture.
Students 10 years and younger must have a parent or guardian present at the lesson. The parent will take notes and act as the student’s “home teacher”. Parental involvement is welcomed and strongly encouraged for all students, but not required for students 10 years and older.
