the Confident Cello Lounge
Unleash your hidden confidence, technique, and joy in playing your cello!
The Confident Cello Lounge is here to help you
overcome technical challenges, rediscover your joy,
and play with confidence in a supportive, inspiring online community,
with professional help and support.
Struggling with technique?
Lacking with cello performance confidence?
Looking for some practice support?
You’re not alone! Many cellists, whether beginners or seasoned players, find themselves stuck in frustrating situations:
❗ You second-guess your bowing and finger placements
❗ Your practice sessions leave you feeling more stressed than accomplished
❗ You can't make the sounds you want to make
❗ Maintenance feels like a mine field
❗ You wish you had someone to guide you—or even just cheer you on
It’s easy to feel isolated and overwhelmed when you’re trying to figure it all out on your own, which only leads to more frustration. But what if you didn’t have to? What if there was a place where you could feel supported, encouraged, and inspired to play with clarity and assurance?

Jay is an absolute inspiration – she literally sees no limits, and her many achievements demonstrate this. Her coaching sessions are equally inspirational – Jay’s gentle questions and prompts encouraged me to really dig deep and think. She helped me rediscover my enthusiasm and self-confidence, and prompted me to re-evaluate a lot of things I’d been taking for granted for years. She has supported me massively, cheered me on at every step, and encouraged me to celebrate each and every achievement. I’ve grown, I’ve changed, and I’m happier than I have been in a long time.
I can’t thank you enough Jay – you are awesome!

After struggling for so long to produce a decent sound on my cello, Jay completely transformed my playing. With a simple adjustment to my shoulder and hand placement, I was able to achieve a beautiful, warm tone I never thought possible. Jay’s patient explanations and tailored techniques, like bow hold adjustments, were taught at MY pace.
The real magic? Jay noticed and addressed tension in my hand before it even became painful, helping me play with ease. I can’t recommend Jay enough – an incredible teacher who truly understands how to bring out the best in every student.

Need help?
Don't worry, I've got you. Here are some answers for your questions.
❓ What makes The Confident Cello Lounge different from other online courses or memberships?
The Confident Cello Lounge isn’t just about theory or technique; it’s about building real confidence and mastery in your playing. I don’t just hand you a course and leave you to figure it out - this community is built on personalised feedback, live support, and a space to connect with like-minded musicians at every level. Whether you’re struggling with your sound, performance anxiety, or just want to grow as a player, I'm supporting you every step of the way.
❓ How much time should I dedicate each week?
You can engage with the Lounge as little or as much as you’d like! The community offers weekly lessons, challenges, and live workshops, and everything is recorded. So, how much time you spend is up to you. That said, dedicating 30 minutes to an hour a few times a week will help you make the most of the resources and stay connected with the community.
❓ Will I get feedback on my playing?
Absolutely! Feedback is a key part of The Confident Cello Lounge experience. If you’re in the Mid or Premium tier, you’ll get access to live group workshops, personal video feedback, and one-on-one lessons. I'll focus on giving you actionable insights to improve your playing, whether it's a quick tip or deep-dive analysis.
❓ What if I’m a beginner—can I still join?
Of course! The Lounge is for cellists of all levels, from absolute beginners to advanced players. In fact, many beginners find it especially useful to start with the fundamentals of building confidence and technique. You’ll find plenty of beginner-friendly resources, tips, and challenges to get you started, plus an amazing community of learners to support you along the way.
❓ Do I need to be available for live sessions?
Nope! While live workshops and group lessons are a fantastic way to engage, all of the content is recorded and available for you to watch at your convenience. So if you can’t make a live session, don’t worry - you can still access all the material when it suits you.
❓ How do I cancel my membership if it’s not for me?
I want you to feel fully supported in your musical journey, so if you ever feel The Confident Cello Lounge isn’t the right fit, you can cancel your membership at any time. No hard feelings - I'm here to help you grow, and I completely understand if your needs change!
