Professional drum teacher in Neukölln, teaching from a beautiful art studio in the heart of the neighborhood.

A bit about me:
Originally from the UK, I have been playing professionally and teaching for over 10 years, graduating from Leeds College of Music with 1st class honors. Since then I relocated to Berlin to continue to work. Projects I am involved in include the Doug Weiss quartet and FORDE / COHEN / featuring Greg

I am a Jazz drummer by trade and first love, however, I have vast experience in all styles including Pop, Rock, and much more.

Please get in touch to arrange a lesson,

I look forward to hearing from you!

Dominic
Have you always wanted to learn the piano or enhance your songwriting?

Whether you’ve never sat down at a keyboard before or you're an experienced player looking for a bit of a push and some friendly accountability, I'm here to help. My lessons are relaxed, and shaped around the music you actually enjoy.

We’ll figure out what you want to play and where you want to go musically, then build the practical skills and good habits to get you there. I’ll offer guidance, encouragement, and accountability while helping you become more confident and independent as a musician.​

Our first lesson is a chance to chat about your experience, interests, and goals. From there, we’ll create a plan that fits where you are now and helps you move toward the music you want to make. All ages and experience levels are welcome!

Testimonials:
"I've been studying with Dominic for a few years now, and my understanding of jazz harmony has grown massively over that time. He has a great way of adapting lessons to what I'm most curious about, always picking tunes and topics that keep me engaged. On top of that, he's incredibly patient, even when I show up completely unprepared. Lessons with him never feel like a chore, they feel like music."

"With Dominic, I’ve really discovered my love for jazz and have gone from almost nothing to a solid level of improvisation. I’m enjoying it a lot!"

"I started learning piano with Dominic as an absolute beginner and have not regretted it. Dominic is a very supportive and inspiring teacher! He takes the time to understand my process and interests, and then creatively guides my learning in a very personalised way. I always leave the piano classes with a joyful spring in my step. Dominic has helped me to unlock my creativity and I am really grateful for that!"

"It's been such a pleasure to pick up piano at an older age with Dom. He's super knowledgeable, extremely patient, adapts lessons to your interests, encouraging and just really great to learn from. I would - and already do - recommend him to everyone."

Lessons can include:
Songs - Develop your repertoire
Songs are at the heart of musical practice, and while I have many tunes I can recommend, I'm also very happy to base our lessons on your favourite songs. We can learn any song together.

Technique - Exercises, Scales and Chord Voicings
We will supplement our work on songs with scales, exercises, and proper technique, to help you build a solid foundation that will make learning new songs or playing with others that much easier. I'll also help you develop a working knowledge of chord voicings that will enrich your playing

Harmony & Theory - Develop Musical Understanding
We will delve into harmony and music theory as we go. Developing understanding of concepts as they come up in the songs we work on together.

Improvisation - Learn to improvise & play by ear
Discover the joy of improvisation and unleash your creativity. Lessons will have an emphasis on learning and playing by ear and I'll share some tools and approaches for developing your own improvisational style.

Rhythm - Cultivate a strong rhythmic foundation.
I'll show you how to improve your rhythm, step-by-step. You can cultivate a solid internal sense of time and groove through exercises that will eventually make rhythmic mastery feel effortless.

And more...
Lessons are often an organic conversation between the two of us and I'm always happy to explore other topics as they come up...
