Cello Lessons in Orange County

My daughter has been learning cello with Feliks for about 2 years. She has progressed quickly during the span of this time. Feliks is a very patient and humorous person. He teaches children differently based on what they need to improve and what they are good at. My daughter knows him not only as a instructor, but also as a friend. Highly recommend Feliks for cello lessons.

Feliks's attention to detail, and Unending patience has literally brought my skills on the cello back into play. After my 15 year break from playing professionally he has catapulted me back To a skill level that I can truly enjoy again. No small task! I'm certain Feliks's patience is so powerful because his love of the cello shines over the details of all my lessons. Feliks brought the joy of playing the cello back to me. I'm forever grateful.

Feliks is wonderful with children! He is patient and kind. He gears the lessons toward music the child enjoys, not only what is in music books. I am surprised at the progress my 7 year old daughter has made in such a short time. We highly recommend Cello lessons with Feliks!

Feliks turns music lessons into something exciting, without making it feel like a routine. He found an individual approach to my daughter, which made her get involved and enjoy their sessions from the very first days. You can feel his passion and professionalism towards musical arts, which transfer not only to students but also to everyone around. The progress is obvious, and I feel that my daughter does her best with Feliks as a teacher.

Feliks is an amazing teacher. He is very talented, excellent at teaching and he's fees are reasonable. Well worth investing in cello lessons. I highly recommend him.

Feliks is an exceptional cello teacher. His patience and dedication are the primary reasons of my daughter's improvement and recent achievements. In each lesson, Feliks uses his great musical skills to demonstrate, vivid metaphors to explain each music piece to my daughter so she could fully understand and appreciate the music that she just learned.

He gives her specific tips so she could overcome the difficult parts of the song and have a fruitful practice. Thank you Feliks and we are looking forward to learning more from you!

We are very glad that we switched to Felix as my son's cello tutor last year, since then I could see my son's great improvement on both his skills and his enthusiasm on cello! My son told me he likes Felix's teaching style on every details to make beautiful sounds, this is another thing I could clearly noticed from my son's practice after Felix taught him.

We are very grateful for Felix's great efforts helping my son's preparations for competition and audition, I can tell he cares very much about his students' achievements. We recommend him as your child's cello instructor.

My son has been taking cello lessons with Feliks for about 8 months now. In that time both his technique and attitude have improved. Feliks is patient but at the same time expects high quality work. My son and I are both extremely happy with Feliks and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

Feliks Volothanin is a great cello teacher for my 9 years old. His fun, inspiring and passion on cello, along with his professional training in Russian music school has opened the door to not only cello, but the world of classical music, positive self-discipline, and creativity for my daughter. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

My son Jeremiah gets his cello lessons from Feliks. I am very pleased. He really knows how to get the best out of my son. He is learning very fast and I know it's because Feliks has a natural talent to teach. Very very happy. I Highly recommend him! My son also just really bonds with him. Also very competitively priced. Great teacher!!
