Drum lessons for all styles and levels from a KonCon graduate!
Hi! I'm Marcello and I come from Italy. I've been playing the drums for more than half of my life and a few years ago I moved to the Netherlands to pursue a music education and to establish myself in The Hague as a professional musician and teacher. I graduated from the Royal Conservatoire and minored in classical percussion in the summer of 2022 and I am currently studying drums and composition in the Master programme.
I usually focus on the technical aspects of music, but the lesson plan will vary according to the student's needs. We can get as serious about playing as you wish! So I advise you to have an idea of what you want to play but, if that's not the case, I'll be happy to share my passion and my favourite artists with you!

About Me
I was born in Bari, Italy. Around age ten I discovered my passion for music and I showed it by strumming a guitar or listening to rock music. Soon I inherited my uncle’s vintage drum set and I just fell in love with the instrument.During my teenage years until my twenties I had several teachers on the drums, piano and I was also taught theory. Meanwhile I learned about jazz and I decided I wanted to be part of the local scene and so I started attending combo classes and later I joined the conservatoire in Bari. After I dropped out I decided I wanted to have the best education in the subject I could, so thank to a few acquaintances I learned about The Hague and its tradition in jazz education; that is where I started my bachelor.
As a teacher I like to learn how to deal with my pupils lesson by lesson and, though I have some "musts" in what concepts I think are important to impart on the instrument, my approach to each person differs every time, based on whom I'm teaching.
Even though I'm mostly busy with jazz and contemporary music, I still love rock music and especially classic stuff from the Sixties and Seventies and that's what I love to relate to mostly in my teaching.

Drum/Rhythm lessons at home (Private or group lessons for all levels)Learning how to play an instrument like drums can be the most satisfying feeling. Being able to express yourself musically on a stage with other musicians the best experience in the world. Drummers are beat makers, groove is what make people move or swing their heads. Being a musician means connecting with everyone in the crowd and giving them a great time!
Ever wanted or dreamed of becoming a drummer and to play in a band? Never had the opportunity or the chance to do it? This might be your time to take action and I could guide you in small steps to realize your drumming dreams.
My lessons are focused mainly on music and performing, for all levels. If you're a beginner I'll guide you through the fundamentals of rhythm with a musical approach. If you're already an intermediate drummer and wanna take it to the next level I'll provide you with the best material to push your boundaries even further!
Book now your lesson and make it happen!

Classical percussion and Drums lessons. Marimba, Vibraphone, Xylophone, Timpani, Snare drum and Drums in a lot of musical genres 🥁I am a classical percussionist and a drummer, with many years of teaching and playing experience. I completed a Bachelor and a Master course in classical percussion in Italy, now I am studying a Master in Jazz & Pop drums at the HKU in Utrecht.
I have an excellent knowledge of musical theory due to my studies and I love teaching because sharing my passion with others is important to me. I have experience teaching many students, between the ages of 5 and 50, since I was 18. I taught in two music schools, led projects in kindergartens and gave percussion instrument lessons in high schools. I trained students as percussionists in two school orchestras. Additionally, I used to write and produce learning materials with my students, to encourage accessible learning.
My main teaching objective is to help students to find their personal way of playing and studying, without forgetting the most important thing; having fun. I understand that music should be fun, and those students not having fun will not get the best results. I usually start my lesson with the basics such as reading music, holding sticks and posture. I evaluate the student’s strengths and weaknesses, allowing them to reflect and evoke healthy self-criticism, to help them improve with a positive attitude.
I always try to inspire my students, and at the same time I am inspired by them, as by playing music together we can learn a lot from each other. Whilst my students have learned a lot from me, likewise, I have learned a lot from my students and this has been very valuable to my development.
I believe I would be an asset to you, because I am a flexible, open minded, experienced teacher.

Drum lessons in Jazz&Pop Drums, all levels and genres welcome!Hello everyone, I am a drummer from Greece, currently living in the NL(Utrecht).During the previous years I have been playing in many bands with different genres, from middle eastern fusion to metal and Latin and I'm currently studying in a Jazz&Pop conservatory. The lessons are designed according to your goals and repertoire, so feel free to join the lessons regardless of your age/level/music genre! During the class, we're going to work towards the things you'd like to achieve, but also the ability to play with others and improvise!

Music lessons: drums, percussion, rhythmic music theory...Hello,
I offer drums lessons in a warm place or at your home. Come and discover the battery differently. My mission is to help you develop your own identity on the instrument. I offer you a fun approach that focuses on the pleasure of playing.
Having followed training and courses throughout my life (conservatory, schools ...), I am passionate and dedicated to sharing all of my experience with you. I practice in many music groups and other structures (schools, associations ...).
With more than 20 years of experience in drums and more than 10 years in percussion, I teach many musical genres (jazz through Latin music, pop, hip hop, rock, hard, punk, metal ..) , the double pedal, notions of music theory, rhythmic reading. Possibility of taking percussion lessons (darbuka, bongos, African djembe, congas, jaw harp, dhol).
The programs are directly inspired by internationally recognized methods, thus being able to adapt to the needs, levels and requirements of each individual. I travel but I also receive in a room with equipment available (any age and level of practice are allowed, from initialization to professionals).
A different approach to music lessons:
My teaching is resolutely modern. Classes are a moment of musical and human sharing where error is used as a positive experience to move forward.
We work by oral transmission to complete the scores. We use onomatopoeia to quickly develop musical and felt play, rather than just reading and playing.
So ... Tempted?
No excuse, I give you couses from Monday to Sunday from 8 am to 11 pm. FROM child (from 5 years old) to senior, and from beginner to professional.
Registration possible all year round.
Contact me for more info on prices and formulas ...
See you soon,
