Personal Description:
Hello, I’m Cesca – a passionate and experienced cello teacher based in York. I’ve been offering one-to-one cello lessons for over 11 years, and I’m committed to making music education fun, personalised, and rewarding. Whether you're learning for exams, ensemble playing, or simply for the joy of it, my goal is to help you reach your full potential while enjoying the journey.
After graduating in 2017 with a BA (Hons) in Music (2:1), I spent seven and a half years touring across the UK with the renowned ELO tribute band The ELO Experience, performing in some of the country’s top theatres. During this time, I continued to teach from my home in York, and now I’ve stepped away from touring to dedicate myself fully to my wonderful students.
Outside of music, I love travelling, spending time in nature, and making memories with my husband, our daughter, and our cheeky cockapoo, Indie.
Tutoring Experience:
I’ve been teaching one-to-one cello lessons in York for over 11 years, working with students of all ages and abilities. My experience spans both in-person and online lessons, ensuring continuity and flexibility when needed. Whether you're a complete beginner or returning to the cello after a break, I tailor each lesson to suit your individual goals and learning style.
Tutoring Approach:
Whether you're picking up the cello for the first time, returning to a much-loved hobby, or looking to inspire a love of music in your child, I’m here to help you on your journey. Whether you’re playing purely for enjoyment or working towards graded exams, I’ll tailor each lesson to your personal goals and learning style.
My teaching style is fun, positive, and encouraging. I believe that confidence grows through support and enjoyment—not pressure. Above all, I aim to create a relaxed and motivating environment where learning the cello is something to look forward to, no matter your age or experience.
