Hans Zentrgraf Study Cello Online

The cello-academy is an attempt to make the impossible possible!

Teaching you to play cello. Usually one would look for a teacher, freelancing or faculty member of some institution, and start to go through the well known process of learning an instrument with regular lessons. This definitely is the preferable way to go about learning an instrument and will doubtlessly remain recommendable in the future.

Many in playing the cello interested people live in areas though, where no teacher is available in a reasonable distance. Or they do not have the time for a weekly lesson at a certain fixed time. Or they feel now the wish to pick up again on cello lessons without formal commitments.

Dear Mr. Zentgraf, I came across your Cello Academy lessons on youtube. As an adult beginner, I have not come across anything as helpful as your lessons, and am grateful to God for discovering your excellent teachings at just the right time. I feel I am progressing in ways I have not since I started cello, thanks to your superbly clear and practical approach. Your very respectful approach is so appreciated, just wanted to say thank you, thank you!

Courtney // Adult Beginner

Very good site and love the videos which provide such detailed information for fundamentals as well as the more popular cello repertoire. Your teaching is very comprehensive. My personal request is I would love to see an entire piece be available rather than single movements such as the Beethoven A Major Sonata. Are there plans on doing so? Thanks!
