Competition coaching
Repertoire, style, phrasing, intonation, projection, and performance confidence.
Online cello lessons
Book Online Cello Lessons
Live online cello lessons with Laszlo Mezo for students who want high-level performance, solo competition preparation, orchestra audition preparation, expressive sound, and practice habits that continue between lessons.
Virtual lesson focus
A serious lesson format for students outside the studio.
Online lessons are best for focused students who can prepare their music, set up a clear camera angle, and work carefully between meetings. The goal is not just to hear a run-through, but to improve the student's sound, technical choices, practice method, and musical decision-making.
Audition preparation
Scales, excerpts, orchestra music, youth orchestra goals, and mock audition planning.
Camera-aware teaching
Clear setup guidance so posture, bow arm, left hand, and instrument balance can be seen.
Practice structure
Specific next steps for the week, so families know what progress should sound like.

Online FAQ
Before the first online lesson.
Can online cello lessons prepare students for competitions?
Yes. Online coaching can address repertoire, musical style, intonation, sound, phrasing, stage presence, and practice planning for solo competition preparation.
Can online lessons help with orchestra auditions?
Yes. Students can work on scales, excerpts, rhythm, sound, mock audition routines, and Pacific Youth Symphony or youth orchestra preparation.
What camera setup works best?
Use a stable phone, tablet, or computer placed far enough back to show the full body, cello, bow arm, and left hand. A quiet room and a music stand help the lesson move quickly.
Can Irvine students combine online and in-person lessons?
Yes. Online lessons can support schedule gaps, travel weeks, extra audition preparation, or focused coaching between in-person Irvine studio lessons.
