I’ll gladly share information about music and art, up coming musical events, literature, recordings and anything connected to our mutual passion: the cello!

The Cello is a versatile Instrument

The cello is an amazing instrument, capable of performing multiple musical roles, and this versatility is the reason its rich tone has crept into almost every musical genre. People don’t often consider the physical strength that develops from playing the cello. It requires good posture and strong back muscles, strong arms, and strong hands.

Online Cello Lessons

I also offer fun, comprehensive and well structured online courses for beginners, intermediate and advanced players.

Orchestra or Ensemble

Playing in an orchestra or ensemble and need some help with bowings and fingerings? I’ll give you gladly Tips and Tricks.

Join in!

I organise on a regular basis house concerts and master classes where you can show what you’ve been working on and play together with other musicians.

About Me

I was born in Italy, but lived since my fourth year in Munich (Germany). With four I've also started there to play the cello with Jan-Peter Close and Karin Sassmannshaus, within the program of the Munich conservatory for young children. Afterwards I continued my education there with various teachers (Anja Fabricius, Rupert Buchner, Hanno Simons), and finally came to the Netherlands, where I obtained  my Master's  degree at the conservatory in Rotterdam with Herre-Jan Stegenga. Already during my studies I started playing regulary in professional orchestras in Germany and the Netherlands. Next to my orchestra-activities, I also love to play chamber music. I perform in international festivals, amongst others the Rheingau Festival, the Gstaad Festival and the Chiemsee Festival. I'm member of the Shalom Ensemble in Munich, the Camille Claudel Trio and the Rotterdam based Phoenix Trio with the pianist Federico Mosquera and the clarinettist Letizia Maula.

If God had designed the orchestra, then the cello was His greatest accomplishment. - Rick Moody,

Blij met Sylvia!

Ik ben heel blij met de lessen van Sylvia. De lessen zijn motiverend, gezellig en het niveau is goed aangepast aan mijn progressie, wat erg fijn is. Ook plaatst Sylvia mijn voortgang regelmatig goed in perspectief als ik weer eens te snel wil gaan of een stukje verwacht te kunnen spelen wat nog buiten mijn kunnen ligt. Kortom, ik ben heel blij met mijn keuze voor de cello als instrument en de hulp van Sylvia om mijn eerste stappen zo leuk mogelijk te maken!

Blij met mijn celloleraar!

Sylvia is zeer stimulerend voor mij om goed te oefenen. Ze geeft me zeer goede tips en aanwijzingen. Ze is positief in haar feedback-ook al twijfel ik nog zo aan mijn 'vorderingen'. Ik heb een concert van haar bijgewoond en dat maakt het alleen maar leuker. Ben blij met haar!

Huge Progress!

Sylvia is the teacher of our daughter Clotilde(14) already since a couple of years. With her dynamic and warm teaching she works with her on major repertoire pieces. Our daughter is making huge progress thanks to Sylvia and is looking every week forward to her lesson with her. In matters of working on technique, on developing a musical feeling, as well as in transmitting self-confidence in itself, Sylvia is really an excellent teacher, and we say a big 'Thank you' to her!

Blij met Silvia!

Wij zijn ontzettend blij met Silvia. Onze zoon Ruben krijgt sinds een paar maanden les van haar en hij geniet enorm van de lessen. Silvia is muzikaal, enthousiast en zeer aardig. Ze geeft op een goede, opbouwende en motiverende manier les. Chapeau!

Passie voor cello!

Sylvia is erg gemakkelijk om mee te werken, vooral door haar enorme muzikale kennis en interpersoonlijk vermogen. Haar passie voor cello en lesgeven schijnt elke minuut van de les door. Ik ben erg blij met Sylvia als mijn eerste cellolerares.

Un grand merci !

Sylvia est le professeur de Clotilde (14 ans) depuis plusieurs annees. C'est avec beaucoup de dynamisme et de chaleur qu'elle lui enseigne des morceaux complets. Notre fille fait enormement de progres grace a Sylvia et se rejouit de la retrouver a chaque seance. Que ce soit d'un point de vue de la technique, du ressenti de la musique ou de la confiance en soi, elle est vraiment un excellent professeur et nous lui disons un grand merci!

Altijd geïnspireerd!

Sylvia is een enthousiaste en geduldige docente. De lessen bij haar zijn altijd motiverend. Er is een goede balans tussen het werken aan techniek en het maken van muziek. Ze is een bevlogen muzikante met een geweldige techniek en beheerst vele stijlen. In de lessen werken we aan stukken varierend van barok, klassiek, romantiek tot tango. Na de les ben ik altijd geinspireerd om weer met plezier te studeren.
