I immensely enjoy teaching because I see the process of learning as a two-way path for both, the student and the teacher, to acquire new knowledge, finding new ways, logics, models to get some technical and musical results.

I enjoy the lesson, preparation of videos and material. i

    Es un gran músico y docente formado y especializado con grandes maestros reconocidos internacionalmente. Compartí con él música de cámara y destaco tanto su nivel técnico como también su ductilidad y sus recursos expresivos. Su vasta experiencia la supo ligar a otro saber que es el psicoanálisis logrando trascender el lenguaje musical en interesantes trabajos teóricos.

    Marcello is an amazing teacher! He has helped me so much already with playing my cello. He gives me music to play that will both challenge and broaden my playing skills. And I have learned so much from him and I am excited to continue learning more.

    I highly recommend Marcello as a great musician and teacher.
    As a pianist, I have had the pleasure of working with Marcello in duet for the past four years. I have also accompanied his students, who performed challenging pieces for their level.
    He is a driven, organized teacher who develops inspiring relationships with his students.
    Marcello embraces any opportunity for professional development, which makes him an ideal leader.
    Marcello has a wonderful rapport with people of all ages, especially children. His ability to connect with his students and his talent at teaching simple concepts to beginners, as well as more advanced level to professional musicians, are both truly superior.
    He also has excellent written and verbal communication skills, which are very helpful for communicating with both parents and teachers.
    Most importantly Marcello accomplishes all these tasks with a positive attitude.

    Frequently asked questions

    I asses the students' strengths and needs along with his/her interests and goals. Once the goals and expectations are clarified, I establish a plan of study. I always encourage the exchange of ideas, questions, and areas of interest to have a clear vision of what we would like to accomplish.

    My Bachelor in Music Education was a seven-year program in Music Education. During and after my Masters in Cello and Music Composition I was teaching as well as performing and composing. During my Doctorate program, I have international performances, and opportunities to teach students of many different backgrounds. I have a solid education with many years of experience as an educator and performer. I have also been teaching successfully online using cameras, videos, and software tools to enhance the learning experience.

    One hour lessson is $100. It is also possible to have 1/2 hour, 45 minutes and 1 hour and 1/2 lessons if desired.

    Online lessons are great because of the use of camera angles, software and all lesson plans have complementary videos explaining the material covered in class.

    I started teaching privately and at private schools when I was a 16 year-old advanced student at The National Conservatory of Argentina.

    I have taught 5-year-old children and up, young high school and college students as well as adults who love to express themselves with the cello.

    My classes are for all levels and ages. From beginners, high school and college students preparing auditions, chamber music to adult amateurs who enjoy learning the cello.

    I remember teaching a master class at the University of Mexico City. When we finished,  two students came and thank me for helping them with their technique and interpretation. They told me that despite being a musician with clear musical convictions they liked I was also interested in listening to their ideas and approaches rather than imposing my own.

    I would advise to examine the teacher's background, experience and take a trial lesson and test if his/her approach has an impact on the student's playing.
