About Me

Marco: Taikoza and East Winds Ensemble Director:
Marco lived in Japan for 18 years (1981-1998) as a member of the legendary Taiko group Ondekoza (famous for running marathons and playing Taiko at the finish line), where he mastered the Taiko, the Fue, the Noh theater flute and under Katsuya Yokoyama, the Shakuhachi. 1990-1993, Marco performed, ran and organized a three year and 9000mile long run of the perimeter of the USA and performing along the way. He was the principal Odaiko soloist, Nagado soloist and Shakuhachi soloist in Ondekoza. He has been influenced by the Stage vision and presentation of Taiko by legendary director Tagayasu Den (who instigated the renaissance of Taiko and created what modern taiko is today). In 1995, Marco was the Shakuhachi soloist for the NYC Opera’s premiere of the Opera ''Kinkakuji'' by Toshiro Mayuzumi. He is presently the director of the New York-based Taikoza (Taiko, Shakuhachi and dance ensemble) and East Winds Ensemble (Shakuhachi, Koto, Shamisen and piano) and performs and teaches internationally (Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Italy, Switzerland and Canada, etc.). He has performed at Carnegie Hall, Suntory Hall, Osaka Festival Hall, Madison Square Garden, Tchaikovsky Hall and House of Music in Moscow among others. Marco has composed and recorded more than 10 CD for Shakuhachi, Taiko and Fue. His music can be heard on iTunes and the Nintendo Wii game: Red Steel. In 2015, he released two CD of his compositions with Taikoza: Voice of the Earth and Tree Spirit. He was the Shakuhachi soloist with the premiere of Hosokawa’ Voyage X with the Juilliard New Music Ensemble. Marco has performed internationally and for companies such Price Waterhouse Coopers, Pepsi, Merck, Diesel, Gillette, etc.

I am currently a student at the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles. I'm in my third bachelor's degree. I have been taking harp lessons for 13 years with various renowned teachers such as Eline Groslot and Annie Lavoisier. During this period I also gained a lot of experience as a concert harpist. Including the second prize in the Concours Français de la Harpe (2017). And for 3 years I also give private lessons in harp and solfège.

These lessons focus on both (young) children who want to learn harp and adults who want to start using harp. Each student is guided at his own pace and the lessons are adapted to the wishes of each student.
Note learning lessons are also adjusted as much as possible to the student's pace.

I offer beginners and advanced players professional instrumental lessons for viola. I will try to work towards your goals and requirements so that you can develop as a musician. My teaching is technically precise on the one hand, but it also promotes your musical creativity and enthusiasm, for example by making music together. Perhaps you are already playing the violin and would like to switch to the viola to play in the orchestra or in a chamber music ensemble, or you are curious about the somewhat less familiar instrument of the string family. I would like to pass on my passion to you to bring the beauty of the viola closer to the general public. At the end of my pedagogical studies at the ZhdK for instrumental lessons, I am an intern in the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich and an active chamber musician in various ensembles.

Hi everyone!
I am happy to offer you personalised percussion and drums lessons to help you reach your musical goals and aspirations.
With years of experience as a percussionist and drummer, I have developed a teaching style that combines technical precision with creativity and passion.
My lessons are open for all ages and are designed to be fun, engaging, and informative, focusing on the specific skills and techniques that you need for your chosen instrument.
I specialize in a wide range of percussion instruments, including marimba, snare drum, xylophone, drums, and much more. Plus, I would be also open to teach you the basics of music theory.
In our lessons, we will work together to develop your sense of rhythm and timing, while exploring different genres and styles of music.

I am happy to teach both online or in-person around the Zürich area!

Let's make some music together 😊

There are few things in life as fun and liberating as playing the drums! This instrument is at once basic and primitive, as well as highly complex - a wonderful exercise for body and mind!

I teach drums in a fun, laid-back and casual way, always structuring my lessons around the students' needs and tastes. Please note: I specifically do not teach with notations or scores of any sort:

My method of teaching is based on playing by ear, with emphasis on the music and the joy in playing it, rather than the theory. Notation is great and theory is important - I studied these myself; however, I have found that learning an instrument by ear is a far deeper, enjoyable and progressive way to get to know your instrument. I also place importance on technique and memorization, again tailoring these to the needs and wishes of the student. My methods have proven very successful and I'm confident your playing will improve quickly!

I teach both children and adults, teenagers and grandparents :-)

Maybe you already play, but would like some help improving your improvisational skills? Or perhaps you are a complete beginner and just want to find out, if this instrument is for you? Get in touch!

Some background to my instruments:

Piano: I initially taught myself the piano and took lessons later on. My main or favourite styles on the piano are: Blues & Boogie Woogie, Traditional Jazz, Rock n' Roll, Pop and Soul. I love many forms of Classical music as well.

Guitar: I taught myself guitar as a kid and play both acoustic and electric. My favourite styles on the guitar are, on the one hand, heavy Rock, Metal and Punk, and on the other gentle Jazz, Blues and ballads :-)

Drums: this became my main gigging instrument between '10 and '20. I mostly focus on funky grooves, hard Rock or Metal, Pop, Jazz, Swing; some rudiments, lots of grooves :-)

Learn Flamenco, body percussion, cajon and practical tools to be more creative with your instrument!

In these percussion groups we would use Konnakol, an Indian classical system created to understand rhythm, it mixes languaje and mathematics in a way that allow us to understand music in a very intuitive, practical and fun way.

About me:

I'm a professional percussion and flute player from Andalucía that plays flamenco and world music with 15 years of musical experience.
Ive played in different fusion projects as a percussion player in Netherlands, Spain, India, Switzerland...
The last years I've been going to India focusing my studies on the relationship between Indian classical music and flamenco. It is in Mumbai where I started studying tabla and Bansuri at Vrindaban Gurukul since then I realized the great value that indian classical music has as a pedagogical tool and now that I moved to Zurich I'm looking forward to create a group where we can grow together.

I also studied Music therapy in Malaga and in Rotterdam so my focus while teaching is in creating a good relationship with art and the instrument, reprogramming how to learn in a natural and intuitive way and very important, to have fun and express yourself so music becomes an extension of you.
