This course certainly met my expectations. It has given me more self confidence. Maxim is a very patient teacher 😉 who doesn’t mind to show the same things over and over again. Very clear explanations and fun to do.

This exceptional course is led by a distinguished cellist and gifted instructor. While the content can be challenging, it is never due to the instructor's teaching method. In fact, I feel more confident in my cello technique after completing this course than I did when I started over a year and a half ago.

From my 10 year old son who is using this course during summer break: I like that he goes slowly, just a couple of measures at a time.
