Cello Tuition
Hello and welcome! My name is Jacob and I offer personalised cello and musicianship lessons for all ages and abilities, from total beginners to advanced players.
About Me
I am a performer, teacher, and music psychologist based in Seaton, Devon. Having studied at the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) in Manchester, I trained in cello performance in classical, jazz, and contemporary music. In following years, my focus expanded into music psychology, with an emphasis on performers mindset and practise optimisation.
For the past eight years, I’ve had the joy of teaching both adults and children, helping them discover their musical potential. I offer private lessons and have also taught at Forsyth Brothers and the Junior RNCM in Manchester, bringing a variety of experience to each lesson.
