Private drum lessons - various styles - for all levels (NL & EN)

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am Thijs (30) an experienced drummer and musician, with a wide range of musical interests. Studying jazz drums under the wings of Lander Gyselinck at the KASK/Conservatory in Ghent. In addition, I have followed masterclasses and lessons from/with Joey Baron (US), Kendrick Scott (US), Corey Fonville (US) and Stéphane Galland (BE). I am also active in various bands/groups.

My lessons, depending on the level, focus on both the fundamental building blocks of drumming and music as a whole. These building blocks together with the student's interests form the curriculum, so that it meets the student's wishes as best as possible. I also teach music theory/music theory. Some aspects of this are also offered during drum lessons.

In the end, it's you who will enjoy it the most, so that's what I'm focusing on! For questions or more information, don't hesitate and send me a message. Let's kick it!

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
My name is Thijs and I have been playing drums since I was 5 years old. Starting with drum lessons in the Netherlands not much later has given me a good foundation. My very musical upbringing has provided a broad knowledge of different musical styles. This is still one of the most important pillars in music for me to this day. Be open to researching these different styles, musical traditions and ways of thinking. Besides drums as my main occupation, I am also a DJ/collector, in which this wide range of music is also clearly visible. My heart goes out mainly to music with a strong groove: jazz, soul, hip-hop, afrobeat, funk, breakbeat, but I also have my necessary knowledge about pop and rock styles at the ready. In short, I am someone with an open and inquisitive vision, who is always busy discovering new music.

Education

RECOMMENDED!!! Not only will you find a teacher who can teach you almost everything in technical terms and techniques, but you will also find a person who will treat you very calmly and warmly and is certainly dedicated to the needs and level at which you start. Coming from a person with stage fright, this was a really nice experience that definitely helped me and got me excited about learning an instrument again.

First lesson was great! Pleasant and quiet. Thijs had prepared the lesson well and tried to adapt the content as much as possible to my interests and music taste. Definitely recommended!

Guitar workshops: personalized lessons / private training
Folk or classical acoustic guitar. The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation. For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...). For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...). Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points: -Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear - Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords - Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand - Learning of different pieces of your choice - Left hand control exercises, speed and precision - Learning arpeggios - Work around muscle memory - Learning improvisation, musical play with others - Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used -Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results -Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument - Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone -Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge - Learn tablatures / tabs & in English. Note : - Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase. - As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy. - Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice. THE TEACHER : Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords. PLACES : - Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

I have been playing a lot of symphonic music working with Animato Foundation Orchestra, Davos Festival Camerata, Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra, Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra, Ensemble Orchestral de Bruxelles, Palm Beach Atlantic Symphony Orchestra, Orkester Norden.
