My first lessons with Adrian were almost a kind of revelation. He told me for the first time about the whole-body-approach, which changed my understanding of the cello physically. He showed me the cello’s capacity to create sonorous colors. He told me about music, and the expressive capacity of the cello. And all of this came together in order to connect body and mind to transmit a musical idea, which was different for each piece. Adrian challenges the general teaching of the cello:
His method unites technique and music in a perfectly balanced whole. His deep knowledge of the instrument and its repertoire makes him a versatile teacher, capable of leading his students to interpretative excellence and bringing out the best qualities in each of them.
Adrian defies dogma in teaching because instead of imposing his own criteria, he prefers to guide his students in the search for their own interpretative personality.
