Von 57.55 $ /Std

Finding an adequate teacher when learning an instrument is key to making this learning experience fruitful and enjoyable. After years of experience as an educator and performing musician, I have perfected a teaching method that allows students to follow their own musical aspirations and interest, while developing a strong foundation on the instrument.

Über mich

Hi!

My name is Sebastien, I am a drummer and composer originally from Geneva, Switzerland, currently active on the musical scene of Amsterdam.
I am passionate about music regardless of style, and I enjoy not only creating it but also sharing my knowledge and passion with others.

I started playing drums at nine years old in my home country of Switzerland. During my teenage years, I became passionate about all kinds of music: Rock, Metal, Funk, Fusion, Jazz, and Gospel to name a few. I then started my professional studies at the Conservatory (known as "JazzCampus") in Basel Switzerland, as a Bachelor's student, before transferring to the Conservatory of Amsterdam, where I completed a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Jazz performance.

I have had the opportunity to study with some of the great Jazz musicians of our time, including Mark Turner, Jeff Ballard, Jorge Rossy, Bill McHenry, Julio Barreto, and composer Guillermo Klein. I have also studied with renowned Dutch drummers Martijn Vink, Lucas Van Merwijk, Marcel Serierse, and Yoran Vroom during my time at the Conservatory of Amsterdam.

For the past few years, I have been teaching in Amsterdam as well as Geneva, and performing consistently around Europe with bands of various musical horizons, Jazz and otherwise. I have also recently started leading my own band, a quintet called “FI:LDS”, which performed its debut concert in June of 2024 on the stage of the BIMHUIS, in Amsterdam.

Band playing lesson, all styles, all instruments. Get your band playing to the next level !

35.97 $ /Std

Sign up for a band playing lesson as an individual instrumentalist, and you will be paired with other like-minded musicians to form a band. I will pair musicians of similar levels and who share similar musical interests together.
We will meet once or regularly based on the students availability, and will go over the basics of what it means to play in a group, put a repertoire of music together, and take your musicianship to the next level. Too often when learning an instrument, we fail to do what is ultimately the end goal of these long hours spent practicing : making music with others. This is also a great opportunity to meet fellow musicians and share your passion with others.

PS : at least one to two years of experience on your instrument is recommended to sign up for band playing lessons.

My name is Ben (26), and I'm a certified drum teacher with about 15 years of experience behind the kit. Previously I have studied jazz drums at Kunstuniversitat of Graz. Currently I'm teaching at multiple institutions in Amsterdam such as: Lucky Beat Music Club, United Pop, British School of Amsterdam.

My classes take place on my boathouse at Weesperzijde, however if you wish I can also come to your place. I can guarantee you that after your first lesson you already will be able to play a simple rock beat!

I can teach you the following:
- Groove
- Speed & Stamina
- Technique
- Music Theory
- Music Production (Beat making) in Ableton
- Controlling dynamics
- DJing
- Body Percussion
- Reading music
- Composition
And much more...

When it comes to teaching, creative lessons and positive energy are my pillars. I do approach every student differently, making sure I am able to show them what is possible on the instrument. I certainly believe that everyone is capable of learning to play the very basics after a short period of time. I do think that since drumming goes back all the way to the primal ages, we all have the drummer inside us, it just hasn't awakened yet. I want to be that person who will awake the drummer inside of who is wanting to learn. I feel fortunate that I'm able to do what I've studied and get to live my passion. There is nothing better than to see a student improve, develop and see when they finally start to "get it".
