Private Drum Set Instructor in English in Tokyo Area
Von 43.13 Fr /Std
I offer private drum lessons for children and adults, tailored to each student’s level, goals, and musical interests. Lessons can be held in the comfort of your own home or in a rented music studio in Tokyo, particularly in areas along the Den-en-toshi and Yokohama lines.
Lessons focus on building strong fundamentals such as technique, timing, groove, musicality, and vocabulary while keeping learning fun, motivating, and practical. Students also have opportunities to participate in ensemble recitals, allowing them to experience playing with other musicians, build confidence, and apply what they have learned in a real musical setting.
