Drum lessons for beginners and intermediate players

Hello, I am Francesca and I have been playing the drums for some years now. I have a bachelor and a master's in science but I chose to make a turning point in my life and study music. I was admitted in the conservatory of Groningen in 2021, in the jazz departement but after successfully completing 2 years, I chose to leave the academic institution.

I would like to share the artistry and joy of drumming but also the knowledge I have gained so far, with students of all ages and especially beginners.
In my lessons, I focus on practical skills like rhythm, coordination, and technique. We work through exercises and songs together, tailored to each student's goals and abilities.

My approach is hands-on and encouraging. I know that learning drums can be challenging, so I create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes and pushing their limits. Whether they're aiming to nail their favorite song or just want to have fun jamming, I'm there to guide them every step of the way.

Through patient instruction and a passion for music, I aim to instill not only drumming skills but also a lifelong love for making music. It's about more than just hitting the right beats—it's about feeling the rhythm and expressing yourself behind the kit.

About Me

With a lifelong passion for music and a diverse background in various instruments such as guitar and bass, I embarked on a journey to further hone my skills in drumming, ultimately pursuing studies in the Netherlands. With both a Bachelor's and s Master's degree in science, my heart remained devoted to music.
Having played in various bands and ensembles, I I hope to bring a modest amount of knowledge and expertise to my teaching practice.
My philosophy as an instructor prioritizes the enjoyment and engagement of my students above all else. Whether delving into rock, pop, Latin, or beyond, I customize my lessons to match each student's unique tastes and how they learn best. From mastering favorite songs to refining coordination and rhythm, I strive to create a dynamic and personalized learning experience.
Open to new ideas and approaches, I continuously evolve my teaching methods to suit the unique needs of each student, recognizing that diversity is the key to musical growth.

Education

I have a Bachelor's in Materials Science, a Master's in Medicinal Chemistry and 2 years of Jazz music studies in the conservatory of Groningen, in the Jazz department.

Experience / Qualifications

With a passion for teaching fueled by my enjoyment in sharing what I have learned in my my musical journey, as well as, witnessing others having fun, I bring a wealth of musical experiences to the table. From releasing a post-rock album to playing in various jazz combos and performing, my diverse background infuses my teaching style with creativity and enthusiasm. Though I may be less experienced in formal teaching settings, my dedication to fostering enjoyment and growth in my students is unwavering.

Reviews (1)

Francesca is a fantastic drum teacher. She is very flexible too. In the first lesson, after I briefly played a groove, she showed in what way I can improve. I am sure that people of all levels can learn from her. The location is also pretty nice, though a good teacher is of course more valuable.

Koenraad
Professional classical piano lessons at all levels for motivated students
Do you really want to learn to play classical piano well? Customized piano lessons from performing musician Koenraad. Graduated Cum Laude from the Utrecht Conservatory. All lessons are one on one. We develop a long-term lesson plan. My lessons are for all levels, but only for enthusiastic students who want to work intensively. This means at least one hour of lessons per week. In addition to playing the piano, a lot of attention is paid to harmony, solfége and rhythm. Pianist Koenraad has been playing since he was six years old. While classical music has always been a passion throughout his life, he also explores world music, jazz, improv, film scoring and electronic music. From a young age, he studied jazz rhythm and drums alongside piano. Mainly a soloist, he also enjoys working as a collaborative pianist in the Lied genre and is an enthusiastic chamber music player. Performs in world music and improvisation festivals as well as an orchestral pianist and répétiteur. He is currently preparing for further study in the field of film and game scoring. His biggest music love is that of the work of Scriabin, a composer he feels “carries it all”.

Pan flute Lessons, Theory Lessons, Singing Lessons
The classical/contemporary pan flute has developed only in the last 20 years which concluded with composers writing for this instrument and educators to develop a teaching program. The instrument has been very famous in world music for centuries, therefore the oral transmission played and still plays an important role in teaching and developing the techniques of the instrument. I've been teaching the pan flute for 4 years and playing the instrument for more than 14 years with experience in different styles: folk, classic and contemporary My style is based on demonstration, involving the student in the process of understanding the techniques of the instrument as well as the reasons behind certain musical styles in order to help them achieve confidence and a better interpretation. I use most of the time the brainstorming strategy to help students generate questions and ideas and get creative like in improvising, writing their own melodies, etc. In matters of musical interpretation, I encourage experimenting with phrases, musical colors, rhythms, musical direction, and music analysis.

Lydia
Piano Lessons in Classical and Contemporary Styles for Beginning-Advanced Levels (ages 6 and up)
Welcome to my piano teaching studio! I am a professional pianist offering private piano and theory lessons for students of all levels. As a pianist with over 14 years of teaching experience in Europe and the USA, as well as over 23 years of playing/performing, I enjoy motivating my students with music of their own preferred style and interest, whether that be classical or contemporary. My main goal is to promote a positive experience and love for music-making during the learning process. If the student is interested in a more structured approach, I guide preparation for grades 1-8 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) piano and music theory exams where my students consistently receive highest marks. I also have successful experience preparing students for conservatory entrance auditions, masterclasses, and competitions in the Europe, the USA, India, and Canada. We have class concerts at Pianos Maene for interested students twice per year. I am happy to provide either a more relaxed or a serious approach to learning piano, we simply need to discuss the personal goals and preferences of each student. My own studies are as follows: I have obtained two postgraduate performance degrees at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp: "Concertsoloist" in Piano Performance and "Chamber Music” (under the guidance of esteemed professor Sergei Edelmann). Prior to this, I received my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Piano Performance/Music from the University of Minnesota - Minneapolis (with Prof. Lydia Artymiw) and Texas Christian University, Fort Worth (with Dr. Tamas Ungar). My experience includes collaboration with many different instrumentalists and singers, performing as a soloist and collaborative member in several orchestras, and receiving top prizes in several competitions. While maintaining my performance and recording career in Belgium at present, I am developing my private music studio in central Antwerp and look forward to meeting new students.

My lessons are distinguished by their dynamics, practical approach and adaptation to the needs and interests of the student. The lessons (live or online) take place in my studio next to the Maastunnel, where I have a premium stage piano and a top-quality webcam setup. I speak Dutch at an intermediate level, which is improving every day.

Private Guitar and Music Theory Lessons
Guitar and Music Theory classes, beginner level. The classes are private (1 student per class) and are personalized, adapting to the tastes and objectives of each student. They last one hour and are 100% virtual via Zoom. The idea is to learn dynamically, seeing concrete examples with songs, and always putting theory into practice. In the case of support classes for music students, we will see what topics the student is studying and will cover them with simple explanations and practical examples.
