English: As a teacher, I always work from the needs and level of the student. I believe learning music should be fun as well as practical, so I combine technique with direct application in songs and playing with other instruments. My method focuses on gradually building control and confidence behind the drum kit. A typical lesson begins with a short warm-up and technical exercises (sticks, coordination, timing). After that, we work on grooves or fills, often using a play-along track or music chosen by the student. In band lessons, the emphasis is on playing with other instruments, rehearsal structure, and stage presence: how to play tightly together, present yourself on stage, and how to deal with issues that might occur during your performance. My specific skills lie in modern genres such as (indie) rock, metal, pop, and groove-based styles. As a mentor and an active performer in several bands, I can share not only technical knowledge but also stage experience, rehearsal tips, and help with gear recommendation and learning about auxiliary aspects (recording drums, stage tech, etc). The lessons are intended for students and young musicians of all levels—from absolute beginners learning their first beat to advanced players refining their technique or bands who want to take their rehearsal and live performance to the next level. Group lessons and beginner band coaching are also available, where we work together on ensemble playing, communication, and performing. Nederlands: Als docent werk ik altijd vanuit de behoeften en het niveau van de leerling. Ik geloof dat muziek leren zowel leuk als praktisch moet zijn, dus combineer ik techniek met directe toepassing in liedjes en het samenspelen met andere instrumenten. Mijn methode richt zich op het stapsgewijs opbouwen van controle en zelfvertrouwen achter het drumstel. Een typische les begint met een korte warming-up en technische oefeningen (stokken, coördinatie, timing). Daarna werken we aan grooves of fills, vaak met een play-along track of muziek die de leerling zelf kiest. In bandlessen ligt de nadruk op samenspel met andere instrumenten, repetitiestructuur en podiumpresentatie: hoe je strak samen speelt, jezelf op het podium presenteert en hoe je omgaat met problemen die tijdens een optreden kunnen ontstaan. Mijn specifieke vaardigheden liggen bij moderne genres zoals (indie) rock, metal, pop en groove-gebaseerde stijlen. Als mentor en actief performer in meerdere bands kan ik niet alleen technische kennis delen, maar ook podiumervaring, repetitietips en hulp bieden bij materiaaladvies en kennis over aanvullende aspecten (drums opnemen, podiumtechniek, enz.). De lessen zijn bedoeld voor studenten en jonge muzikanten van elk niveau—van absolute beginners die hun eerste beat willen leren tot gevorderde spelers die hun techniek willen verfijnen, of bands die hun repetities en liveoptredens naar een hoger niveau willen tillen. Groepslessen en coaching voor beginnende bands zijn ook beschikbaar, waarbij we samen werken aan samenspel, communicatie en optreden.

I offer a range of teaching methods, all tailored to the unique goals and needs of each student. My philosophy is that playing a musical instrument should be an enjoyable and fulfilling experience, and my lessons embody precisely that spirit. **For Preschool Children (Ages 3+):** Are you a parent eager to introduce your little one to the magical world of music?

We'll explore music through singing, movement, and rhythm, fostering a deep and lasting love for music. **For School-Aged Children:** Unlock your child's full potential by teaching them how to read musical notes! Learning to read sheet music not only allows your child to pick up new songs more quickly but also empowers them to play whenever they wish, without waiting for their teacher. In my lessons, your child will discover the wonder of musical notes through a fun and interactive story that introduces each character as a tangible musical note. Carefully selected piano books and additional repertoire ensure progressive improvement in piano skills, all while allowing your child to choose their favorite pieces. **For Teenagers:** Are you in search of a Drum and Transverse Flute instructor who will nurture and support your teenager's passion for music?

For students with prior piano experience, I build upon their existing knowledge, further expanding their abilities and creativity. I understand that each student has their own objectives, whether playing for enjoyment or aspiring to be a professional musician. That's why I adapt my lessons to align with your child's intentions. By offering a variety of musical pieces for them to select from and being open to their input, I believe that playing a piece they genuinely enjoy is more effective in maintaining their motivation. **For Adults:** Worried that you might be too old to start learning the Drum and Transverse Flute?

I've been a drummer for almost 20 years now, and I've graduated from both Brussels Royal Conservatory of Music (classical percussion) and Mons Royal Conservatory of Music (pedagogy). I've been teaching percussion, the drums and music theory for a little more than 4 years now. My students are always the real actors of my courses. No matter what instrument you are learning, be it percussion, the drums, marimba, vibraphone, or music theory, I always pay close attention to your personal goals, and together we devise a unique learning plan that adapts to your strengths as well as your weaknesses. My courses are aimed at anyone who is willing to put effort into learning music; children or adults, complete beginners or more advanced players who wish to receive additional feedback and insight. Autonomy, creativity, curiosity and listening skills are the true pillars of my methodology. We pay as much attention to technique as to musicality or listening skills. Additionally, I provide tailored exercises, on-demand sheet music and transcriptions according to your needs, as well as additional resources and recommendations on my website to nourish your musical life and journey. I teach the following: -the drums, in various styles (rock, funk, jazz, shuffle, pop, world music, latin music, on-demand songs) and forms (Moeller technique, speed, rudiments, syncopation, breaks, solo, independence, musicality, double pedal, push-pull, etc.); -percussion (2 or 4-mallet marimba and vibraphone, xylophone, timpani, cajón, hand percussion), in both contemporary and classical music styles; -music theory, which can and will easily be integrated into my drumming or percussion courses, or can be taught as a separate course for music students who are seeking remedial education; -harmony; -sight reading techniques; -perfect and relative pitch (experimental)

Want to learn to play the drums? Easy as 1,2,3. With me you will learn the basics, play along with your favorite music and build your own grooves. Preferably in my studio, but it can also be at yours. I have been behind the kit for 18 years in different styles (rock, jazz, reggae, afrobeat). We can possibly discuss an adjusted rate for children. If you have any questions, please feel free to send a message :)
