Learn from Great Cello Teachers

Hi, I’m Christine, a cellist from Taiwan and a recent graduate of the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University, where I studied with Peter Stumpf. I currently play with the Columbus Indiana Philharmonic and the Terre Haute Symphony Orchestra, and this past summer I performed as Co-Principal Cello with the National Repertory Orchestra in Colorado.

I began playing the cello at the age of 5. My father Michael Flaksman, a world-renowned American cellist and teacher, was one of the major influences of my teaching and playing. I attended the Cleveland Institute of Music, the Juilliard School, and the University of Mannheim in Germany.

Manuela Weller was born in Argentina in 1981. She began her academic training at the J.J. Castro Conservatory, where she studied with André Mouroux and Diana Griot. She then continued her studies at the J.P. Esnaola Conservatory with Miriam Santucci and Larisa Orloff. Additionally, she refined her technique privately with José Araujo and Pablo Bercellini.

I first wanted to play the cello when I was 7 years old, after listening to Saint-Saëns' 'The Swan' being performed at a local concert. Shortly after, I began to have cello lessons, and absolutely loved it! I have been lucky to study with fantastic teachers during my education, most recently with David Cohen (principal cellist of the London Symphony Orchestra).

I am a dedicated violin/bowed strings teacher with experience working with students of all ages and levels. My approach centers on building a strong technical foundation through proper posture, bowing, intonation, and tone production.
