About Bruno
I'm a professional cellist, singer, and improviser with a BA degree in Music Performance from the University of Southern Mississippi, where I studied on a full scholarship and graduated with honors. I won the 2013 Carlos Gardel Award (Argentine equivalent to the Grammy Awards) for the best album in the category "Instrumental - Fusion - World Music", and I have a longstanding career as a recording artist. I have performed with many orchestras in the US, Brazil, and Argentina, being principal on various occasions. I have more than 15 years of experience as a teacher, both in my private studio and at institutions like music schools, conservatories, and school orchestras. I also have run workshops at festivals in Colombia and Argentina, and I am currently a cello professor at three different school orchestras.

The content of the lessons can vary depending on your interests. Some students choose the traditional recipe of academic repertoire + scales, exercises, and etudes while others prefer a more song-based approach, developing their skills on the spot. Either way, I will provide you with practice material, creating it especially for you when necessary. I find it vital to teach a healthy technique, using improv as a tool to keep the work fun and interesting. I focus on healthy practice habits and posture, applying the guidelines on muscular care provided by specialized health professionals I have encountered during my career. I love to explain the mechanics of cello playing in a precise yet accessible way, going beyond precooked formulas and imitation and handing you the concepts of how things really work. As the rest of the arts, music is communication. I like to tap on my experience in acting and singing to help you find what it is that you want to say and give you the tools to convey your message. All this in a dialogue with the composer's ideas, reached through the knowledge of music theory, analysis, and historical context.

Perfect! He explains things clearly and in different ways if I do not understand something. A lot of times things make sense instantly and I can feel small improvements already with his approach, even after just a couple of lessons. I can tell he is very committed and passionate about teaching and has a lot of knowledge about playing cello that I can learn from. I appreciate him taking time to share his knowledge with others :)
Perfect! Bruno was very responsive to my inquiry to help my daughter with a cello evaluation. She said that she found Bruno's instruction very helpful.
- Teaching Eva, Natalie's daughter, has been a wonderful experience so far. She is very patient, kind, and hardworking :)Bruno's response :
Perfect! Bruno was fantastic! He really knows what he is talking about. His communication with me as the parent before the lesson even started was clear and direct. He was really good at working with my child and teaching them. He was patient, kind, funny, and smart. We highly recommend Bruno to anyone who is looking for a cello teacher.
Perfect! Bruno was lovely. He was very patient and took as much time as I needed to get whatever concept we were discussing or working on at a given time. He had no issue starting from the bottom with me as I have no skill with a cello and was understanding when I explained that I was looking around to find the best teacher for my needs.
Perfect! Very patient and explains things well.
Perfect! Bruno is patient and explains things in a very clear way.
Perfect! He explains things very thoroughly, has a good sense of humor, and provides excellent examples to reinforce the points that he's making. After my trial lesson he quickly responded with resources he indicated he would send--even though he understands that I'm talking to a couple of other teachers before making a decision. Given his responsiveness, though, he's definitely in the lead!
Perfect! Bruno has been teaching my daughter for a few months now and she has excelled in her cello. After struggling to find a decent teacher locally, Bruno is the perfect match. He is very professional and kind and very understanding. I would highly recommend Bruno for cello lessons. We are very lucky to find him on this website.
Perfect! Bruno was very good with my 11 year old - he was patient and made things engaging

Perfect! Bruno is everything I dreamed a cello teacher would be. He is considerate and enjoyable to work with. I switched from in person lessons to lessons with Bruno and saw immediate improvement.

A very passionate Musician/Teacher, I'd highly recommend for anyone looking to learn or improve their Cello.

We undoubtedly recommend Bruno's cello classes!

Bruno es un paciente, dinámico profesor de violoncelo. Bruno me ha ayudado tremendamente.
Bruno is a patient, dynamic professor of cello. He has helped me tremendously in my cello journey. Especially, correcting ingrained mistakes that I had from past experience with the cello. On top of that, Bruno sees music in an artistically expressive way that allows one to bring the music to life (so long as you practice :P).
Overall, Bruno has revied my love for cello and I am excited to continue to work alongside him.- Matthew is really kind, respectful, and patient. He is deeply interested in learning, and committed to dedicate time and effort to do so. I definitely enjoy having him as my student.Bruno's response :
Perfect! I just had my first lesson from Bruno. He is a very nice, patient tutor who can explain things very well. Also, he is also a well prepared tutor, that he sent me some materials about posture with a cello with very detailed explanation before the lesson. I enjoy to have a lesson from him. :)
- Ka Wing is very kind and respectful. We had a first "interview" in which he asked me about my experience and views about teaching. It is very clear that he has a deep interest in learning and will invest a great deal of time and dedication to it. I really enjoyed getting to know him and I am looking forward to accompany him in his learning process.Bruno's response :
Perfect! Bruno is an exceptional tutor. I am at lesson 3 and can restring and tune my cello, play all notes with my bow and am starting finger work. Bruno is quite remarkable in his teachings - so patient and kind in approach - a superb tutor. Sign up today.
- Premal is very kind, respectful, and eager to learn. We spent almost the whole first lesson setting up and tuning her cello, and she was really patient and understanding about it, and interested in how it should be done. I am really looking forward to accompany her learning process.Bruno's response :
Perfect! Bruno is a remarkably comprehensive instructor, covering everything from the biomechanical nuts and bolts of the operation of the cello, to efficient practice methodology. The repertoire he's been able to showcase on the fly is serious music, and I can tell he's put in many hours with his instrument. Above all, he's incredibly compassionate and understanding, and will work with the student, not only to make sure that they get the most out of their instrument in a technical sense, but also holds the enjoyment of the process above all. His instructional flexibility demonstrates an instinct to put the student first, and he is entirely comfortable with allowing the student to move at the speed that is comfortable for them, with the content that is most relevant to them. From Bach studies to noodling, Bruno can confidently instruct in a way that is rewarding to people of all degrees of investment.
- Milo is respectful, kind, very curious about music, and eager to learn new things. He's is patient when things get technical, and his interest makes the lesson a rich exchange experience. It's a pleasure to have him as my student.Bruno's response :
Perfect! I enjoyed how we took time to really cover the basics at the beginning. We aren't rushing and just playing. We are really diving into the essentials and doing it well.
- Eric is really kind, respectful, and has a great passion for both learning and playing music. It's a pleasure to have him as my student :)Bruno's response :

I have been taking cello lessons for almost three years already and took me a while to find the right cello teacher. Fortunately, I was so lucky to come upon Bruno, since he is the best cello teacher I know. He loves what he does, and that is why he is so committed to keeping students motivated, inspired, and willing to take on challenges.
Bruno shares all his wisdom and expertise openly, he always ensures that his students understand and learn his teachings. His teaching method is highly recommended for all ages as he is able to deliver his understanding of music theory irrespective of his audience. Bruno is also very capable of perfectly teaching cello techniques to his heterogenous students, as he adapts each class to the student before him. However, if I had to pick his best quality as a teacher, it would be his ability to disrupt traditional teaching methods, as he encourages students to write their own music, encouraging me to embrace the cello in an inspired, personalized way that allows me to express myself. Bruno points out problems to be solved with kindness and patience, paired with undisputed diligence and attention to detail, which is his hallmark as an exceptional cello instructor.
For all of these reasons, I have chosen him, and continue to choose him, as my cello teacher.!!! Thank you very much, Bruno!!!Bruno is one of the most talented musicians I know. He is passionate and knowledgeable. He is a great teacher, patient and kind. He always tries to find the method that best suits what each student needs. I highly recommend him!!
Bruno is a wonderful person, a knowledgeable musician, and a capable cellist. He was my student for several years at the University of Southern Mississippi where he completed his undergraduate degree. Bruno is a great communicator; he is loved and respected by all his friends and colleagues. He knows how to think out of the box, and he develops all his projects in a very creative way. Bruno has a solid understanding of the cello technique, and he is an experienced performer. I am happy to recommend him as a teacher for both young and adult cello students.
Dr. Alexander Russakovsky,
Cello Professor, USM School of Music
My experience with Bruno has been and continues to be enriching, since he knows how to interpret the needs of his students. Not only the technical part but also the creative question that one can take, for example in his own works helping to enrich and order the work. He takes into account issues such as the posture of the body and the use of the voice. He understands that someone who wants to learn an instrument like the cello has much more to give, so he enters and accompanies that journey through one's interior with his instrument. . He is a great cellist who knows how to pass on his knowledge with great generosity.
