About Steffan De Kock
I started my musical journey in London, England at age six when I began playing the cello. I also started learning guitar at the age of ten. Regarding the cello I studied most notably under the highly experienced and respected Finnish Cellist Katri Patel and the South African Cellist and conductor Carel Henn who is one of the founding members of the Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra as well as a highly regarded bastion of the South African classical music industry. Under these teachers I passed my grade 8 cello exam with a high distinction of 95%. Regarding orchestral experience, I studied in a classical youth orchestra for cello at Morley College, London led by renowned conductor Peter Ash and was the principal cellist of the Johannesburg Youth Orchestra for two years. I currently play in the Witwatersrand Orchestra. At age 16 I began producing music and formed a friendship with a revered London-based producer and guitar session musician and started interning at his studio back in London. I have also played in various blues bars as a guitarist and was a student under South African guitar virtuoso Dan Patlansky. I moved to Johannesburg in 2023 and am involved with the South African music industry, having played with various professional orchestras, and am regularly involved in concerts for high profile clients. I have also made several appearances on TV and in music videos; having played in large musical productions and TV shows such as Netflix, Joy of Jazz and Afrikaans is Groot. I produce music and am a regular performer in the South African music industry. I have many students, both in-person and online and have been teaching with excellent results for my students.

My lessons are aimed specifically at beginners who want to start the journey of learning to play the cello and to those who have just started. I am very passionate about music, especially the cello. I am eager to share what I have learnt in the past 14 years and to get more South Africans playing the cello!

Perfect! Steffan is my second cello teacher, and I’ve been taking lessons with him for about two years. When I started, I had a pretty basic understanding of the cello. Looking back now, I can honestly see how much I’ve improved since then.
He’s helped me become much more comfortable with the fingerboard, music theory, and all the terminology that used to seem overwhelming. I feel much more confident picking up new pieces now than I did when I first started.
I’ve also appreciated how flexible he is whenever I want to focus on a particular skill or have questions about something outside of the lesson plan. He’s always willing to adjust and make sure I’m getting what I need out of each lesson.
Steffan is easy to get along with, professional, and has a good sense of humor, so lessons never feel stressful or awkward. We still get a lot done each lesson, but they also stay enjoyable, which makes it easy to keep coming back and practicing. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone who’s thinking about learning the cello, whether you’re just starting out or already have some experience.Perfect! I'm still a complete beginner, so my cello sometimes sounds like it's arguing with itself! Thankfully, my teacher is incredibly talented, patient, and somehow manages to turn all my squeaks into actual music. Every lesson is fun, and I'm learning more than I ever expected. If they can make me sound better, they can teach anyone. Highly recommended!
Perfect! Stefan is a great tutor. He understands a students wants and needs. Guiding students through their misgivings and difficulties. I would highly recommend him to all cello students. He has music ‘come alive’ for me. Thanks Steffan, I will keep going.
