Cello Adventures is a warm and friendly cello studio run by cellist Monica Lima in Sydney Northern Beaches. I have been teaching cello for over 20 years and offers expert cello instruction for students from 4 to 94! I believe in teaching the person first, and then the cello. So, I tailor my teaching by discovering my students individual needs and abilities. I encourage students to set high standards for themselves and then give them the tools to succeed. I work very closely with parents by showing them how to practice creatively with their kids, and supporting them to create a positive learning environment at home. I teach that loving music can come from hard work, patient problem-solving, and a persistent pursuit of beauty. I want to inspire my students to love the cello as much as I do so that they can share that love with others. I love teaching young kids as well as my lovely adults students. I enthusiastically believe that everyone can learn! I teach from my studio as well as online via Zoom. Book a free trial!

Taught by a working guitarist I'm a full-time professional guitarist and teacher. Alongside private lessons, my guitar instruction reaches thousands of players worldwide through my YouTube channel and Patreon community. My focus is helping students understand how music actually works on the guitar — so they can move beyond memorising shapes and start playing with real confidence. Students often work on improvisation and soloing, fretboard knowledge, music theory for guitar, learning songs properly, and structured practice methods.

Bring a list of songs you love, or choose from my prepared repertoire — either way, we work through them week by week while building real technique along the way. You'll learn the chords, progressions, song structures, and techniques behind the music you care about. I provide tabs and handouts for everything, and you're welcome to record lessons on your phone. If you get stuck between sessions, I'm reachable to help you get back on track. Sometimes I even create YouTube tutorials off the back of lesson material — so what you learn in the room can end up helping thousands of other players too.
