I am Julien, a drummer since childhood and a drum teacher since 2005. Trained at the Agostini School in Orléans and then at Jazz à Tours as part of a DEM Jazz in collaboration with the Conservatoire de Tours, I also worked for several years as a professional musician. Today, I am returning to what I love most: transmitting knowledge directly and building work that is truly tailored to each student. My teaching method is based on a simple principle: you learn drums by making music. Therefore, I don't offer a one-size-fits-all approach: we start with your level, your tastes, your learning style, and what you want to do with the instrument. The first lesson also serves as an introduction and assessment to understand your profile and define a direction for work together. If you're a beginner, no prior musical knowledge is necessary. We'll start with the basics of the instrument: posture, stick grip, sound, coordination, and basic rhythms, with the goal of being able to play along to songs quickly. Theory and reading music are introduced gradually as needed. If you already play, we work from your playing and your objectives: groove, placement, coordination, technique, sound, new styles, improvisation, pieces, playing in a group or preparation for a particular project. I also value human connection highly. I prefer a simple, relaxed, and trust-based relationship, far removed from an overly hierarchical teacher-student dynamic. It's essential to be able to ask questions, experiment, make mistakes, exchange ideas, and maintain the joy of playing. My goal: to help you progress, understand your playing and gradually become independent, while keeping the music at the center.

Je joue du piano depuis 15 ans, de la batterie depuis 10 ans et de la guitare depuis 5 ans. Je peux dire avec confiance que j'ai bien appris à m'enseigner moi-même rapidement et à m'entraîner sur un instrument, ce que je voudrais partager avec tout le monde. Devenir un très bon joueur ou même un virtuose est beaucoup plus facile que tout le monde ne le croit, et j'aime bien enseigner cette compétence aux gens, que ce soit aux débutants, aux joueurs intermédiaires ou aux musiciens avancés. Qu'allons-nous faire? On va apprendre à lire la notation, improviser, jouer des pièces musicales, composer, avoir l'air cool en jouant et se faire plaisir. J'ai enseigné la batterie depuis des années en français, anglais et tchèque — j'ai aussi enseigné aux enfants à Park Lane International School à Prague, une école prestigieuse dont les élèves ont remporté cette année un concours international de musique.

Hello! 🥁🎵 Are you looking to start a new musical adventure ? My name is Chen. I’ve been living, performing, and teaching here in Amsterdam for the last few years, and I hold both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in jazz drums from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam (CvA). I love diving into a massive mix of styles, blending everything from jazz and minimalism to rock, electronic music, and creative groove concept drumming. I truly believe that music lessons should be tailored to what gets you excited. Whether you want to master a solid practice pad routine, learn your favorite songs, build up your timing and coordination, or dive deep into advanced improvisation, we will design the lessons around your goals. All ages and levels are welcome! Let's make playing the drums fun, focused, and uniquely yours. Get in touch, and let's get started!
