About us
Calling all cellists and cello lovers!
The Berlin Cello Academy is gathering up as many cellists as possible to create the biggest community of cellists in the city. All of our events will involve the cello in some way, whether it is a class for bettering your existing cello skills or one to teach you cello in the first place, or going to a cello concert with some new friends, or playing chamber music with people you've just met, we have many different community events available. Some are free, and the rest are just covering our costs ;)
Expect a crowd as colorful as our city, joined only by our mutual love for the sound of the cello.
An alle Cellisten und Celloliebhaber!
Die Berlin Cello Academy trommelt so viele Cellisten wie möglich zusammen, um die größte Cellisten-Community der Stadt zu schaffen. Bei all unseren Veranstaltungen dreht sich alles um das Cello, sei es ein Kurs zur Vertiefung deiner vorhandenen Fähigkeiten, ein Einsteigerkurs, der Besuch eines Cellokonzerts mit neuen Freunden oder das Spielen von Kammermusik mit frisch kennengelernten Leuten – wir bieten viele verschiedene Community-Events an. Einige sind kostenlos, bei den anderen decken wir nur unsere Kosten ;)
Freut euch auf eine bunte Mischung, so vielfältig wie unsere Stadt, verbunden nur durch unsere gemeinsame Liebe zum Klang des Cellos.

Cello Gym: Technique, Sound, Shifting 🇬🇧🇩🇪
RAW Gelände, Friedrichshain, Revalerstrasse 99, Berlin 10245, DEJoin us for a monthly group cello workout that will improve your sound production, intonation, shifting, finger dexterity and speed - a true "full body" workout for cellists to want to make serious progress.
Natasha Jaffe will guide you step by step through the core technical work that most cellists skip, rush, or avoid when practicing alone. This kind of work on scales, arpeggios, and double stops makes them easy to learn when you encounter them in your pieces, no matter the musical style you want to play.
We’ll work on:- Scales and patterns for stable intonation and left-hand organization
- Shifting across neck positions with more ease and accuracy
- Bow and sound exercises for a clear, resonant tone
- Etudes that help you master technique
- Practical warmups you can reuse in your own practice
Every monthly session will be a bit different, but some of the basics will repeat so that you can truly master them if you come regularly and practice them in between sessions, allowing you to move on to harder variations. The goal of the Cello Gym is to help you make sure that at least once a month, you go through the exercises perfectly, with good form, and get solutions for improving the ones you’re struggling with - and to re-inspire you to add this kind of practice into your own practice routine.
Designed for intermediate to advanced cellists - minimum requirement is a basic knowledge of shifting (for example to 2nd or 4th position). Sheets are available to download in advance here: https://berlincelloacademy.com/cello-gym
If you want more challenge, just let me know a bit in advance and I can make the workout a bit harder for you individually!1 attendee
