Online Cello Academy

Hi! My name is Ragnhild.

I am a professional cellist who has played cello for almost 25 years. I have a Masters degree from the Barratt Due Institute of Music in Oslo, where I studied performance for seven years. I am also a Timaniteacher, a teacher who specializes in using the body correctly while playing, as well as a coach. I have more than ten years of teaching experience and now I want to teach you everything I know, and more.

I am all about finding the shortcuts to good playing. I will not settle for "just practice more". I want to teach you a way to play better, and practice less. I want to see you succeed!

Sign up for this course and you will get me as your teacher, guide, coach, mentor and friend, right into your own home.

Testimonial

"I’ve followed the Cello Academy from the beginning and feel very inspired by Ragnhild’s humble and patient approach in the course. The online lessons are all marked with what level they are best suited for, so one is able to pick and choose. Through both show, tell and interesting pep-talks, Ragnhild takes great interest in her students and lets us also take part in her own journey and work as a professional musician.

In addition to being a great cellist, Ragnhild is a trained Timani coach. The combination of both body and soul is what makes this online course stand out, and the lack of hierarchy makes me fell we’re all a team. Ragnhild is more than a teacher, she’s like a long lost online cello sister!

The Cello Academy is the perfect blend of technical skills, personal experiences and Timani knowledge. I highly recommend it to both beginners and more trained amateur cellists."

Testimonial

"I was struggling to motivate myself to practice cello and didn't always know what to do when I did practice anyway. Having the sessions to go through and work through helped me focus on different techniques or things I would usually not work on. It also helped me aim higher than usual, but helpful that there are some different level/beginner/advanced parts so I don't feel pressure to be able to do everything perfectly straight away! It gives me more excitement/joy to practice rather than it being a chore."

So what makes this course so special?

I know in my heart that becoming a good cello player is not just about practising more. In order to become the cellist you want to be, you need to have a broad knowledge about the body and mind and how it can help you on your way to greatness.

That is why in this course I include topics like:

Practice smarter, better and more efficient (not more)

Taking care of your body and how it helps you excel

Getting clarity on what holds you back from becoming the cellist you were meant to be

Tuning into the presence needed to becoming an extraordinary performer

I want to see you succeed! Lets do this!
