For the battery I propose:
Beginners: an introduction to the instrument to quickly play the first elementary rhythms. We mix the study of pieces and theoretical exercises.
The choice and implementation of the method adapts to temperaments and aspirations. Rhythms, breaks, technique, progressive learning of reading.
For students of a more advanced level, we work the basics,
independence of members, rhythmic theory and more complex rhythms.
Methods used: Dante Agostini

For percussion:
Introduction to different oriental rhythms
Initiation in technique of Bendir, Darbouka, Daff, Riqq
And for more advanced students I teach the different forms of oriental music and we work on pieces of repertoire of oriental music (metrics: 4/4 3/4 6/8 10/8 9/8 7/4 ......)

Looking to discover drumming for the first time, get back into it, or take your skills further? I offer fun, focused, and personalised drum lessons in a welcoming studio right here in Paris 19ème.

Tailored to You
Whether you're a total beginner or an advanced player, I adapt each lesson to your goals, pace, and style. Kids, teens, adults—everyone’s welcome.

What You'll Learn
Technique, rhythm, and groove

Rock, jazz, funk, world music and more

Ear training and musicality

Playing with backing tracks or in ensembles

Reading and improvisation

Technique and Lineage
My technical approach is rooted in the rebound-based methods passed down through the Murray Spivack tradition. I was taught by drummers who themselves trained in this lineage—helping you develop relaxed control, endurance, and tone.

Music as a Language
I teach music the way we naturally learn language: by listening and speaking before reading and writing. You’ll learn to feel rhythm, internalise timing, and express yourself on the drums. Reading and writing music are absolutely taught—but always in the right context, as tools to deepen your fluency and independence.

About Me
I'm an experienced educator and former professional drummer, passionate about helping others find their voice on the kit. I've taught students of all ages and backgrounds, and I believe music should be both serious and joyful.

Easy to Reach
The studio is in Paris 19ème, near [insert nearby métro stop if helpful], and easy to reach by public transport.

Flexible Scheduling
We’ll find times that work for you—daytime, evening, or weekend.

My teaching method is based on two points:

Orality and reading.
Indeed, music being a language, it is spoken and written.
It has a grammar, a conjugation, the aim of which is simply to be able to express oneself freely.

The many training courses I have followed, as well as my experience as a musician, allow me to offer teaching adapted to everyone and to all desires: Pop-Jazz or Classical music theory.

My journey :

I have been a music teacher for 14 years, and graduated in 2015 with a DEM in drums and music theory.

After giving a few private lessons here and there, it was in 2010 that I really started teaching, doing replacements in conservatories.
For 7 years, I have been working in a private school, L'École de Musique de Chatou, where I teach more than 40 students.

At the same time, I play for different projects, in electro, in jazz, but also for events.

I've been playing drums for 12 years,
Economic and social bachelor, then student at the IMEP, I now play in restaurants or weddings

The drums are a key instrument within a group, it is he who will allow to create a link between all.

My goal is simple, you have to take pleasure in playing, this will of course go through attendance, but also through moments of laughter, fun, exchange, communication ...
I would initiate you if you want to play percussion to test them to have fun.
I would try to teach you the styles that I know so that you can practice them, be it rock, funk, pop, soul, jazz, reggae, but also having fun with your instrument,
and why not make it your job ...

So when do we start?

I give you an appointment from Monday to Saturday

Piano lessons for all ages and all levels.
Opportunity to approach the classic, song, jazz and any international variety.
Rhythm and music theory lessons possible.
For those who are interested, I can also draw parallels between instrumentation and music theory (vocals and rhythm as well)

Body Percussion for Kids – Rhythm, Confidence, and Joy
These one-on-one body percussion classes offer kids a unique opportunity to explore rhythm using their own bodies—through clapping, stomping, snapping, and movement. Each session is a playful space to develop focus, body awareness, and nonverbal expression, while boosting self-confidence and feeling at home in their own skin.

There’s also the possibility of forming a group class with friends—creating music and movement together in a joyful, collaborative environment.
