In your own words:

“I love how smoothly Dalai moderates the cello circles. The sheets she prepares always offer room for different player niveaus that she knows to integrate well. The cello circle in presence is a very funny and warm experience, also in online it's pleasant to participate as Dalai also knows how to integrate the cellists on the other side of the camera!”– Richard, participant in several Cello Circles in-person & online

“Dalai's Cello Circle always offers an exciting topic with a clear intention and structure, which is still conducted with ease. The Circle allows us to understand and experience “playing” on both a knowledge and energetic level. […] It is precisely this combination of understanding, trust, and playing that is a real pleasure for me, stimulating my curiosity, inspiring me to discover more about the cello, and giving me room to grow. Above all, it's a lot of fun every time!" DE “The Cello Circle von Dalai bietet jedes Mal ein spannendes Thema, in dem es eine klare Intention und Struktur gibt und wird gleichzeitig mit Leichtigkeit durchgeführt. Der Kreis ermöglicht es uns, “das Spielen” sowohl auf wissens- als auch auf energetischer Ebene zu verstehen und zu erleben. Alle Teilnehmenden mit unterschiedlichen Hintergründen und Niveaus verbinden sich im Circle miteinander, wodurch der Raum erhalten bleibt und jeder sich entfalten kann. Ich bin sehr dankbar für diesen Austausch. Ich spiele seit zwei Jahren Cello, und gerade diese Kombination aus Verstehen, Vertrauen und Spiel ist für mich ein wahrer Genuss, der meine Neugier weckt, mich dazu anregt, mehr über das Cello zu entdecken, und mir Raum zur Entfaltung gibt. Vor allem macht es jeder Mal unheimlich viel Spaß!” - Maki - in-person participant Cello Circle

 "Dalai's lessons are perfect! The content of the lessons is individually tailored to my level and my wishes. I'm thrilled with Dalai's calm manner and patience in teaching me the cello. And: You'll meet a very professional teacher here: always punctual, always friendly, always prepared, and every lesson is a benefit for your further development." - Lily -

"Dalai was recommended to me by a friend on social media when I took up cello after a 15-year break. Since then, she's been an invaluable help in improving my classical technique, as well as giving advice on playing with a loop pedal or singing or dancing with the cello. No matter what you're looking for, she's a great teacher." - Taylor -

"Dalai Cellai! A brilliant cellist who, even as a coach/teacher outside the mainstream, knows how to convey such a classical instrument in a more than contemporary way. I first discovered the cello 2.5 years ago, and I've been taking lessons with her for two years. What began as purely online lessons, as I was living in a completely different city, Dalai helped me develop my cello playing  from a hobby into a passion. In addition to her skilled hands on the instrument, she also has a talent for always adapting the lessons flexibly and to my limits. Despite having a full-time job where you sometimes don't want to do anything AT ALL after work, I maintain a regular lesson schedule and still find motivation in her lessons. Accordingly, her passion for music only infects me more directly, which means I always feel a sense of accomplishment, even if I've been stuck on the same page of music for a few hours… Would I recommend Dalai as a cello coach? Absolutely!!!" - Richard -

"Dalai is the best teacher for me personally. I've been studying with her for several years. Not only has she taught me the basics of cello with standard repertoire, but also took my personal musical preferences into account from the very beginning. She feels at home in many music genres, so she can practice various styles with you. She has also rehearsed pieces with me, along with my singing. She showed me how to use a loop device and helped me choose an audio interface and microphone. I first started learning the cello with another teacher and am very happy that I ended up with Dalai! Appointments with her are relatively flexible, both digitally and in person. She is always very patient and can explain how something works in a new way, even after several attempts. I highly recommend lessons with Dalai!!!" - Andrea -

“Perfect! She's simply amazing!” - Bärbel -
