Drum lessons by an experienced performer and teacher

From 44 € /h

Obtaining the knowledge of drumming trough personalised ways and exciting energy.
You would be given a spectrum of knowledge - from basics to complicated stuff, from written out music to improvisation. We will cover technique and playing in different styles, but we will mainly work on firm control and give freedom to your own expression.
Listening to examples of music we try to imitate and learning about them is an important part, so we will spend time on that too.
I will also teach and provide you with reading material, meaning notes, organised in music pieces.

Extra information

I have experiences with teaching students from 6 to 40 years of age, so different social interactions are not a problem.

About Me

I'm a drummer and a song writer from Slovenia. Music has been my passion for 20 years now. As a person, I am talkative, thoughtful and sociable. After many experiences as a performer and teacher, I recently graduated from Jazz music studies at Prins Clause Conservatoire in Groningen.
Sharing the knowledge of playing the drums, the ways I obtained it and discussion on all the aspects of music is something I find both important and pleasurable. Teaching has been in my family and it was always approached with love towards the topic and clarity in giving the knowledge to others.
One of the most important things I learned trough years of teaching students from 6 to 40 years of age is adjustability to both student as an individual and lesson. I don't insist on methods as if they apply to everyone in the same way, but rather find way to share the most crucial knowledge trough comparisons and an all together fun time.

Hallo allemaal!

I have been working for 12 years as a piano and music teacher (I started very very young, when I was 14 years old, because I always liked teaching): I have experience in private lessons and official state music schools, with children from 2 years and adults of all levels, both teaching individually and in groups. I have taught piano, music and movement for children, music theory, solfeggio and choir.

I finished my bachelor studies with the highest marks, I have experience as a concert performer and have won prizes in competitions and several scholarships prizes.

I hope to have the pleasure that we both learn by making music together, do not hesitate to contact me!

The way I teach actually depends entirely on the student. The way I explain the concepts, plan and structure the lessons and approach each subject all depends on whether the student is a beginner, intermediate or advanced, and whether he or she has some experience on the subject.

Each student has different needs and different abilities. It's just a matter of getting to know the student, in order to identify both the weaknesses and strengths on which to work.

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! Having followed many Alexander Technique programs, I find it very important to develop some basic techniques to avoid injuries during playing and studying, but also share some tips for stage fright and stress while performing!

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!

Learn to play bass to your favorite music. It's fun to do because you immediately feel what you're doing and that as a bassist you provide swing in the band. Are you already in a band? Then develop your own game to the Next Level. If you want to learn to think up your own bass parts, you've come to the right place.

As a piano teacher, I ensure that you gain a solid technical foundation and learn to read sheet music, but also that you can enjoy making music right from the start. I would love to hear which direction you want to take—classical, pop, jazz—and then we will set course for your goal together.

Hi! I am a classically trained pianist and am graduating from the Utrecht Conservatory this year. My passion for the piano started at a young age: I started taking lessons when I was seven, after convincing my parents to enroll me.

From the age of thirteen, I started assisting my teacher and was already teaching younger students, from children as young as 3 to teenagers. As a result, I have built up extensive experience in teaching various ages and levels.

As a teacher, I am enthusiastic, patient, and have a positive attitude. My lessons are structured, but also fun and motivating, so that students can develop at their own pace while simultaneously enjoying playing.
