MARIANNE DUMAS'
CELLO CLASS IN BERLIN

a supportive environment where students of all levels and ages can pursue their cello studies.

About


Teaching is part of my passion for cello and music, it is as important as performance. What matters to me is your motivation, not your age or level. 

I work on the alliance between the body and the mind to help cellists connect with their cello so the sound becomes their voice. In order to let the music speak, we will free the movement by working on posture, movement, always in a musical way.
My method is inspired by various methods like Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais, Yoga, Sophrology, and biomechanics studies. I also work with cellists dealing with injuries and stage freight issues.

About the biomechanics of cello playing for advanced level:

After I finished my studies I started to analyse the way of playing of cellists in high level performance, worked with Feldenkrais instructors, physiotherapits to understand the optimal way of using our body through posture, breathing, movement. Then, I explored the mechanics of the sound of the cello, the set up, tensions, strings in order to find the best balance between the cello and th cellist. I learnt a lot for my own playing and I am now happy to share it with people interested in this research.
