Percussion Lessons (Tuned percussion, marimba, xylophone, vibraphone, non-tuned percussion, drum kit)

This class would be open to performers of all abilities. If you are looking for lessons in percussion (tuned or non-tuned), or the drum kit then I hope I can help you! I have been fortunate enough to perform with many orchestras across the UK, and as a solo artist. This has included performing in a masterclass at the Cambridge International Jazz Festival with Dame Evelyn Glennie, winning the Canterbury Festival Young Musician competition, being a solo artist at Deal Music and Arts Festival, and performing with the BBC Concert Orchestra. I have been a percussionist since the age of 9 and studied orchestral percussion at Trinity Laban Conservatoire from 2015-2019. This year, I was a graduate professor at New York University, where I created and taught a curriculum for Music Composition, Beginner Film Scoring. The curriculum covered the basics of music theory, composition, orchestration, instrumentation, and composing to picture. The course covered all types of media, such as animation, video game, advertisements, and film. Students also learnt how to utilize DAWs for creating music. I obtained my Master of Music in Film Scoring and music theory from New York University, where I was chosen by Alan Menken to be a recipient of the Alan Menken Scholarship. I achieved my Bachelor of Arts in Music from the University of Oxford, where I was awarded a scholarship in performance from the Royal Academy of Music.

Jazz and modern drum lessons. Develop your sound, timing, and musical language with a professional drummer.

Hugo, a professional drummer and composer, holds a higher degree in Modern Music and Jazz Performance from the Conservatori Superior del Liceu. My training has been complemented by working and learning alongside numerous leading figures in jazz and drumming, and I have professional experience in concerts, recordings, and projects with musicians from the national and international scene. I offer drum lessons tailored to each student, from beginner to advanced levels. We'll work on what you really need: technique, sound, timing, coordination, reading music, improvisation, repertoire, or jazz. I can also help you expand your musical training through modern harmony and composition, with the goal of better understanding music and applying it to your instrument. This will help you speak the same language as the other musicians you share the stage with. My goal is to help you play better, understand the instrument, and develop your own sound and language. The classes are designed around practice and music, aiming to ensure that what we work on has a real-world application when playing. If you are interested in learning drums or continuing to develop as a musician, write to me and tell me what you would like to work on.

Drums Lessons for all levels / Find your unique and personal Voice on this instrument!

If you've been eager to get better in drums and therefore studying all its different styles and genres, I definitely can help you with that! Particularly, I've studied in deep Tony Williams' and Elvin Jones' playing and the main drummers of the jazz era from the 50s to the 70s , so if you really want to improve that kind of vision and sound I can give you some great hints such as transcriptions, analysis, sound strategies and many video materials. Also, I am specialized in Funk/Hip-Hop music and that kind of groovy world. So, I've been mastering a specific approach to this genre as well. About me: I've been playing drums since I was 6. I got my Master Degree in 2022 at Salerno Music Conservatory (Italy) in Jazz Drums and Percussion. I've been doing the role of Assistant Professor at KCB with Stéphane Galland since 2023. Since I moved to Belgium I had to chance to collaborate and sharing the stage at the moment with Manou Gallo, Zap MAMA, Stephane Mercier, David Linx and various others.

Handpan & Piano for Beginners | Easily find your way to music

Hi, I’m Omid, a professional pianist and handpan player from Iran. I’m 32 years old, and I started learning piano professionally at the age of five. Piano has always been my main instrument, and over the years, I’ve developed a strong background in music, performance, and music education. About seven years ago, I discovered the handpan, and it quickly became another important part of my musical journey. Today, I teach handpan to many students and help them discover their own musical voice through this beautiful instrument. Whether you have a musical background or have never played an instrument before, you can start from zero. My lessons are designed to take you step by step—from learning the basics and playing your first notes to improvising, creating your own music, and expressing your emotions freely through the handpan. My goal is not just to teach you how to play the handpan. I want to help you truly understand the instrument, feel comfortable with it, and eventually create music that is uniquely yours. I offer personalized one-on-one online handpan lessons, tailored to your level, goals, and musical interests. Let’s start your handpan journey together! 🎶
