Binging Art Academy
about project
I’ve been teaching since my first studies – in The Netherlands, at Conservatory Maastricht just after 2010 – where I took a Pedagogy Minor Degree during my major in Cello. For years, I’ve had students f-2-f.
Since 2020, I moved to the XXI century – and started to teach online, globally.
In ’25 I co-coded a platform for my students: Binging Art Academy. The Binging Art principle is to enhance mental health through learning cello playing. By fostering collaboration, mindful knowledge of practicing like-a-pro, and community, the Binging Art method of teaching supports a global network of a new generation of strong, mentally and physically healthy cellists, and shares Joasia’s expertise with musicians at all levels worldwide.
It is an online cello academy and community initiative that continues to inspire people to learn the cello, enhancing their well-being, sense of core, and resilience in life.
In 2025, after pitching Binging Art to the prestigious pre-incubator Aalto Creatives Program, I was accepted to brainstorm for a few months on designing a portable CBBG-size cello especially for Binging Art students – this full-size yet portable cello will be affordable and made from eco, sustainable, recyclable mono-materials. This way, the barrier of entry to join Binging Art will vanish, and people around the world will be able to pick up cello as their lifelong healthy hobby, to create their musical story and identity bigger than life.
