Introduction: Unique Method combining Russian and American Schools of Cello and Piano playing I believe that focusing on musical ideas and characters combined with the body awareness is a key to learn how to play musical instrument. Each of my students receive an individual approach and I teach them how to be independent and how to work outside of a lesson. I select repertoire for each student very carefully so that it was fun to play and at the same time helped to develop technique and musicianship. Music helps to become more creative, free and intuitive.

My son started taking cello lessons with Elena when he was 9. He has progress from being a complete novice to being able to play Vivaldi's Cello Concerto in C Major in just over a year. She emphasizes good posture and hand positions, which are very important to building long term success. Elena has a very calm and patient teaching style. She is an active cello performing artist herself, so she can demonstrate the technique or musicality during the lesson to make it easier for my son to follow. I highly recommend her!

My daughter has been taking private cello lessons with Elena for 3 months now and she has been amazing! My daughter had only been taking cello at school and she really needed some private lessons to improve. In this short time, my daughter has already gained so much confidence in her technique and sound. She is the perfect combination of kindness with persistence of proper form an technique. My daughter is 11 and takes a 1 hour lesson weekly with Elena. She comes right to our house which is so convenient. She is always on time and makes sure to fill up the whole hour productively. We could not be more pleased with our selection of Elena and would highly recommend her to anyone who is searching for a cello teacher.

Elena Korableva is an outstanding cellist and teacher who is both inspiring and rigorous in her approach to teaching cello. I have found her to be always attentive and perceptive, and strongly motivated to give her students a strong technical and musical foundation. I like her direct and effective style. A joy to work with. David
