Rafael Olbrich
School of Cello:

My aim as an educator and a professional cellist is to introduce the art of cello playing and most importantly the art of music making to both my current and future pupils.

To help create and establish sound cello technique in each pupil from the very start, help them develop necessary skills and further their abilities to such an extent that they can become independent players and musicians in  their own right.

To nurture talent of every individual.

To awaken the great joy that comes from cello playing and sharing this special ability with others.

To open a door to the wonderful world of music for each budding cellist.
