Drum lessons in Jazz&Pop Drums, all levels and genres welcome!

From 49.97 Fr /h

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!

As a drums and classical percussion educator I have more than 10 years of experience. Graduated with honors from State University Of New York, Fredonia, Mason School of Music in 2013 and earned my Masters of Music In Drums at the Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht, Utrechts Conservatorium. I have had the privilege of studying with world renown percussionists and drum set players including Dr. Kay Stonefelt, Shawn Pelton, Eric Shin, and Joost Kesselaar.

As an engaging drum set and percussion instructor, I provide music lessons rooted in humanistic philosophy which allows me to cater each lesson in an individualized manner and develop richer and more meaningful relationships with each student.

Lessons are provided in a rented rehearsal and practice room space, Students can expect to acquire the necessary technique, musicality and abilities to engage in any musical setting such as rock and pop bands, jazz combos, classical ensembles, experimental or avant-guard music making, marching band music and drumline instruction.

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.

Learning how to play an instrument like drums can be the most satisfying feeling. Being able to express yourself musically on a stage with other musicians the best experience in the world. Drummers are beat makers, groove is what make people move or swing their heads. Being a musician means connecting with everyone in the crowd and giving them a great time!

Ever wanted or dreamed of becoming a drummer and to play in a band? Never had the opportunity or the chance to do it? This might be your time to take action and I could guide you in small steps to realize your drumming dreams.

My lessons are focused mainly on music and performing, for all levels. If you're a beginner I'll guide you through the fundamentals of rhythm with a musical approach. If you're already an intermediate drummer and wanna take it to the next level I'll provide you with the best material to push your boundaries even further!

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!

I am a classical percussionist and a drummer, with many years of teaching and playing experience. I completed a Bachelor and a Master course in classical percussion in Italy, now I am studying a Master in Jazz & Pop drums at the HKU in Utrecht.

I have an excellent knowledge of musical theory due to my studies and I love teaching because sharing my passion with others is important to me. I have experience teaching many students, between the ages of 5 and 50, since I was 18. I taught in two music schools, led projects in kindergartens and gave percussion instrument lessons in high schools. I trained students as percussionists in two school orchestras. Additionally, I used to write and produce learning materials with my students, to encourage accessible learning.

My main teaching objective is to help students to find their personal way of playing and studying, without forgetting the most important thing; having fun. I understand that music should be fun, and those students not having fun will not get the best results. I usually start my lesson with the basics such as reading music, holding sticks and posture. I evaluate the student’s strengths and weaknesses, allowing them to reflect and evoke healthy self-criticism, to help them improve with a positive attitude.
I always try to inspire my students, and at the same time I am inspired by them, as by playing music together we can learn a lot from each other. Whilst my students have learned a lot from me, likewise, I have learned a lot from my students and this has been very valuable to my development.

I believe I would be an asset to you, because I am a flexible, open minded, experienced teacher.

My name is Vasileios, also known as Billy, and I am a
master's student in the Jazz Department at HKU in Applied Science. I am
fresh in town, currently pursuing to finish my studies while bringing a rich
background in music and education. With nearly 15 years of experience in
classical harmony, counterpoint, jazz harmony, and performance, I hold a
Bachelor's degree in Jazz Music from the Liszt Ferenc Academy in
Budapest, Hungary.
My primary instrument is the drums, but I am also
proficient in jazz piano, vibraphone, and body percussion

In addition to my musical background, I am experienced in Konnakol, the
classical Indian rhythmic language, which has further deepened my
understanding of rhythm and enhanced my teaching techniques.
Over the years, I’ve developed a strong foundation in teaching, with over 5 years of
experience in rhythm lab education, body percussion, and leading jam and
improvisation workshops for students of all ages. My approach combines
technical skills with creative expression, fostering an open and engaging
learning environment.

I am a positive, calm, open ,focused, and disciplined person who enjoys
engaging with students and clients alike. I speak fluent English, Greek, a
have a good knowledge of Hungarian, and I just started Dutch
lessons to better integrate into the local culture.

I am excited about the opportunity to contribute my musical expertise and
teaching experience to all of you are interested, I believe my diverse skill set and
passion for music education will allow me to make a meaningful impact with any of you.

Sincerely,
Billy
