Feldenkrais for Cellists

with Michael Tweed-Kent, Feldenkrais Teacher at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam

Hi, I'm Michael

As cellists, the quality of our relationship with our body and instrument determines how we feel and how we sound. If you are a performer or teacher hungry to heal, grow, deepen, strengthen, refine or revitalize your relationship with your body and cello, then this is a home for you.

Testimonials

Michael has helped hundreds of cellists. Here’s what some of them had to say.

  • In my 60 years of searching for the most effective ways to teach and perform on the cello, Michael is a true standout. With intelligence and imagination he created a curriculum that guides students to an immediate and deep understanding of the benefits of using the “whole self”.

  • I have taken part in three of Michael's Feldenkrais courses for cellists. I found them all to be mind-blowing. Incredibly inspiring, and challenging the whole physical and mental construct of being a musician. I would highly recommend each and every course of Michael!

    Professor of Baroque Cello,

  • I have worked with Michael in group lessons, individual lessons as well as online workshops. He has helped me find ways of organizing myself in a much more healthy and effortless way. I also use the insights for my own teaching.
