Let me introduce my ideas of teaching 

I have always had lots of pupils, and I find it very inspiring to work with both young and older people.

In 1998 i finished the highest degree of music at the University of Oslo. I studied and compared old and new celloschools. The results were a bit surprising. I found that many of the old methods written by capacities like Romberg, Dotzauer, Lee, Feuillard and so on had lots of very important points that often are forgotten in the new methods.

I have made a library where i discuss different celloschools (in norwegian). You are welcome to visit          my library

After teaching  several years I have recognised how important it is to learn to play by ear. The most important reason for this  is not that the pupils will get  surplus to recognize what they are doing on their instrument even if this of course is important. No, the point is that they larn to listen to the melodies and learn to know how the different notes sounds and where they are on the instrument. Notes are only a way of reading music to help in the beginning of  practicing. As soon as possible it is important to start to play the melodies from the "inner memory". Then I think the progress will go much faster.
