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 ......)

Hello,

I am a professional musician. I give lessons (all levels / all ages) battery on Montreuil.

The study path can be decided together, depending on the interests, attitudes or levels of the student.

My program is as follows:

- study on independence
- writing and reading the score
- technical study / snare drum studies
- play-alongs / cd to choice
- polyrithmies

optional:
- notions of musical harmony
- theory
- music theory
- piano

Classes take place in my well equipped and comfortable studio.
Classes are in French but also in the eventuality in English, German or Italian.

SPECIAL CHILDREN:

The course is for children of all ages wishing to learn drums. It consists of a series of meetings around the world of music, focusing on the rhythm and the world of percussion.

- With the little ones (5-7 years), it will be a question of becoming familiar with the instrument in order to favor a first discovery of the universe of the sounds and the musical practices.

- With older children (8 - 14) a course of knowledge of music in its basic notions will be developed. Starting from these primary elements, a practical work of playful orchestration will take place. Which will be accompanied by an activity aimed at acquiring theoretical knowledge (geographical, musical, historical) and practical knowledge (percussion orchestra, basics of different techniques). The project's pedagogy aims to develop in children a particular attention to cooperation as well as group work.

objectives

• acquisition of the musical bases
• basic approach to music education (height, duration, intensity of sounds)
• acquisition of a general knowledge about percussion (their origins, different styles)
• acquisition of musical interaction ability
• to be able to reproduce in show

aims

Foster the ability of the student to confront the other. To succeed in staying in a group, contributing, each with its small part, to learn and create together.
Develop the ability to listen and pay attention in order to encourage social disinhibition both in the world of live performance and in non-musical contexts.

PARTNERSHIPS:

Around the year, musicians will be invited to the venue (off-rate)

Do not hesitate to contact me for any type of question:

Hello,

I like to transmit and exchange with my students.
Seeing them understand and progressing is essential and very rewarding for me.

My lessons are based on an academic method focused on learning music theory and instrumental practice.
I bring a specific method adapted to the profiles of my students (age, availability, tastes, motivation, "anti-music theory").
I try to make my students independent, help them develop their listening skills, their sense of rhythm and transmit to them an efficient working method.

All styles, all levels: pop, rock, funk, jazz, blues, soul, reggae, latin

Whether it is to discover the drums or to improve in a style of music, (rock, jazz, hip hop) each course adapts to the desires and needs of the student. The goal is to motivate you to practice the instrument, through courses combining improvisation, study of a musical work, deciphering of a score, coordination and work of independence.

Only one thing matters, motivation!

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

Whatever your level and your favorite styles, complete work on technique (strike, posture), tempo, groove and reading, always at the service of the music. You will progress while playing your favorite music and/or discovering the repertoire that I will bring you.

All levels, all styles of music
Men / Women / Children

“90% of my students are able to play up to 100 songs after the first lesson.”

Drumming should be a fun experience. No time wasted trying to learn music theory or reading. We get straight to the point, playing music the way we want to. We'll get past the beginner level in just 2 or 3 lessons, then move on to more advanced things.

The lessons are designed to connect as much as possible with music and passion, and thus be able to express it creatively through the instrument. The courses are intended for everyone, including beginners and children.

BEGINNERS:
Intuitive and musical approach to the instrument
Essential Rhythms of Popular Music
Basic techniques and autonomy
repertoire

ADVANCED:
rudiments and their application
Advanced independence
Work on grooves of different styles: Jazz, Soul, Funk, Blues, Latin Improvisation
Understanding the harmony of music and other instruments Repertoire
Other advanced concepts
How to work professionally

We will seek creativity and enjoyment through music, to connect in the most inspiring and musical way. All of this creates a solid foundation for playing the instrument and routines that work on concentration, technique, and, above all, creativity.
The lessons take place in a music studio. There is also the possibility of giving lessons at the student's home.

I offer personalized guitar lessons, offering 4 hours per month to support you in your learning. Each lesson is tailored to your musical tastes, as I firmly believe that fun is essential to learning faster and easier. At the end of each session, I send you a summary video so you can review the key points and continue to progress between lessons.

My schedule is flexible and adapts to your availability, so that learning remains a pleasant moment in your schedule. In addition, a special number is available to answer all your questions, guaranteeing you constant and responsive monitoring.

During your course, you will also have the opportunity to study up to two different musical styles, enriching your experience and skills. My training program is based on the Suzuki method, which emphasizes learning through instrumental practice before tackling music theory. This fun approach will allow you to express yourself musically while developing your technique.

Don't hesitate to take the plunge and discover the joy of playing guitar!

Hello everyone,

My name is Sacha, I am a 32 year old professional drummer. I am endorsed by Soultone Cymbals (USA) and Agner Drumsticks (Switzerland). I started drums at the Dante Agostini school, I stayed there for four years and then I studied jazz drums at the conservatory for three years.
I have been giving lessons for almost ten years now because I have always loved teaching and sharing my experience!
I am currently part of several groups: ABRAHMA (stoner/doom), DELIVERANCE (post black/sludge) we were notably at Hellfest 2022 on the Valley stage and Temple and Le Cha (pop/funk in French).
I was also the touring drummer at the end of 2023/2024 for the band AL QASAR (many international dates including WOMAD 2024 in Australia and Sziget in Hungary in 2023)

I have rather rock/metal oriented influences, I was part of the group Sweat and Tears for four years with more than five hours of repertoire, resident at the Temple Rock Tavern (formerly Guinness Tavern). I also have experience in events with jazz bands (covers of standards) and jazz/funk with brass section (Stevie Wonder, Incognito, Jamiroquai, new JB's, etc.)

I give lessons in the HF studios of the 9th and 14th so that students can learn directly on an acoustic drum kit, which is very important to me.
The course is adapted to the student's level and desires, the goal being to allow him to be autonomous on the instrument as quickly as possible by teaching him the technical and reading basics. My method is inspired by the Agostini method but focuses more on learning pieces.

I offer classes for all levels, from beginner to advanced.
We work on rhythm, technique and groove, always playing pieces that you like.
Rock, jazz, reggae, pop: you choose the style, I'll help you progress.
No theory necessarily: the goal is to play, have fun and progress at your own pace.

As a passionate, self-taught drummer, I offer drum lessons focused on practice, rhythmic understanding, and the joy of playing. We'll work on the fundamentals (tempo, coordination, independence), develop grooves, accompany songs, and provide personalized advice tailored to your musical style (rock, funk, hip-hop, etc.).

Classes for children, teenagers and adults.
I can travel to students' homes who have a drum kit or to music studios in Paris.

Let's play!

Without conservatory or other diploma(s), I developed a passion and an ear for music from a very young age.
Being self-taught allowed me to very quickly develop a curiosity for music in general, to play different instruments and to create several music groups, concerts, studio recordings, etc.

This drum course is for beginners of all ages, with or without prior musical experience.
The goal is clear: to lay solid foundations while having fun from the start.

The course is based on a constant balance between technique and musical performance. Technical exercises are always directly linked to specific pieces and grooves, in order to avoid a heavy or discouraging theoretical approach.

Particular attention is paid to the relationship between the body and the instrument:
good posture on the stool, relaxation, hand and finger position, coordination, balance and center of gravity.

These elements are essential for making effective progress, avoiding unnecessary tension, and developing a natural relationship with the drums.

Finally, I am primarily here for the student.
If the student has a clear idea of the direction in which they wish to go, I will be there to accompany them and help them achieve it.

I am not trying to impose a rigid teaching method: I adapt to the needs, pace and objectives of each individual.

What I do insist on, however, are the essential basics: good posture, the elimination of unnecessary tension in the body and a healthy way of playing.

For the rest, teaching is always built with the student, in the spirit of a pedagogy that has personally worked very well for me and that I now pass on with conviction.
