All-styles drumming, percussion and music theory lessons

From 68.32 C$ /h

I've been a drummer for almost 20 years now, and I've graduated from both Brussels Royal Conservatory of Music (classical percussion) and Mons Royal Conservatory of Music (pedagogy). I've been teaching percussion, the drums and music theory for a little more than 4 years now.

My students are always the real actors of my courses. No matter what instrument you are learning, be it percussion, the drums, marimba, vibraphone, or music theory, I always pay close attention to your personal goals, and together we devise a unique learning plan that adapts to your strengths as well as your weaknesses.
My courses are aimed at anyone who is willing to put effort into learning music; children or adults, complete beginners or more advanced players who wish to receive additional feedback and insight.

Autonomy, creativity, curiosity and listening skills are the true pillars of my methodology. We pay as much attention to technique as to musicality or listening skills.
Additionally, I provide tailored exercises, on-demand sheet music and transcriptions according to your needs, as well as additional resources and recommendations on my website to nourish your musical life and journey.

I teach the following:
-the drums, in various styles (rock, funk, jazz, shuffle, pop, world music, latin music, on-demand songs) and forms (Moeller technique, speed, rudiments, syncopation, breaks, solo, independence, musicality, double pedal, push-pull, etc.);

-percussion (2 or 4-mallet marimba and vibraphone, xylophone, timpani, cajón, hand percussion), in both contemporary and classical music styles;

-music theory, which can and will easily be integrated into my drumming or percussion courses, or can be taught as a separate course for music students who are seeking remedial education;

-harmony;

-sight reading techniques;

-perfect and relative pitch (experimental)

About Me

Since I was very young, I have had the opportunity to play with many musicians and singers in many different groups and styles. I have played concerts in Belgium in several competitions and festivals with different Brass Bands, at the Vlamo Brassband Kampioenschap, with the Orchestre de Chambre de Wallonie, Musiques Nouvelles, the Ensemble Orchestral de Bruxelles, Sturm und Klang, 7à8, Barbara Dex, Gunther Neefs, Free Souffriau, and in France and Germany, including in two editions of the Impuls festival für neue musik.
I graduated in percussion from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, and graduated in pedagogy from the Royal Conservatory of Mons. I have been teaching percussion for a few years in different academies, so I have had the opportunity to meet many students of all ages and from all walks of life, and therefore to adapt my course to many different profiles and personalities over the years. time.
I am also the drummer for the Liège singer Aster.
I welcome my students to my studio in Gembloux, equipped with two drum kits and recording equipment. I also travel to my students' homes within a certain radius.
