Are you a beginner?
I'll be glad to help you discovering this beautiful instrument!
I'll show you the necessary steps you need to follow in order to play that crazy rhythm you have in mind and, please don't forget: "HAVE FUN" is mandatory! You'll learn how to move your limbs to play a nice drum groove, you'll discover the rudiments on the snare-drum which later you will start apply to the drumset. You will learn to recognize which instruments in the drumset makes you fall in love for the drum beat of your favorite tune. Also you will learn how to read rhythm and a drum score! Very soon you'll be playing along your favorite song!Let's get it started!!!

Have you played for a while and you would like to improve your skills and to learn new rhythms?
Good!I'll do my best to help you improving your actual skills. Together, we'll look at the diverse hand and foot techniques exist as tools to improve our own sound on the drumset. Remember that it's not about speed, but awareness of our gestures and how these can influence the sound we won't project through this marvellous instrument. Have you ever heard of "Finger Control", Moeller Technique", "Push and Pulll", "Heel-Toe Technique"?
Probably your tired of the usual 4/4 rock drum beat and you would like to learn more spicy drum grooves...well I can show you very nice drum beat influenced by latin music. You could find very fun and interesting excercies for improving your coordination while learing intriguing drum beats!But also...you are a fan of progressive music but you're having troubles playing that weird odd-meter...I'll show you how simple and easy can be to play that 5/8!

Do you have a solid rhythmic fundation and you want to get in touch with Jazz or Latin music?
Learning a language, especially if you are not a mother-tongue, is very hard. Generally I believe that to learn how to express yourself through your instrument is a life-long learning process. For this reason don't worry and keep having fun every day!I've left the harbour for this journey some years ago and I still see the line of the horizon very far...Why don't you get on my boat?
I can show you the first steps you need to take for applying your technical skills and coordination in these styles. We can listening to recordings and to check how the drummer accompanies his band mates, how he expresses his solo ideas. We can transcribe comping ideas, solo ideas, and of course I'll show the approach I use to learn and to digest this information to make it mine. I'm really looking forward to your questions and to discover new recordings with you!

Acerca de mí
Hello everybody, my name is Enrico and I’m an italian drummer and percussionist based in Rotterdam.
How many times did you play your favourite song’s drum beat on your desk or on your kitchen table?
I’m sure in that moment you wished you could do that on a real drum set!Are you ready to learn that rhythm and to play it with your friends?You could be the next drummer on stage!
I’m here to grant your wish!
Hey...are you thinking you are to old for this?Absolutely not!Music doesn’t have boundaries and it’s never too late to start drumming!


In case you want to know a bit more of my musical background…

Actually I’m performing as a drummer in the National Jazz Jeugd Orkest for the project “NJJO Goes Mambo featuring Maite Hontele” under the artisitc direction and conduction of the Dutch Trumpetist Maite Hontele. In the last two years I’ve been focusing on Latin music, especially Afro-Cuban music, with a major concern towards Latin Jazz and Salsa. In the last two years I had the chances to perform with diverse ensembles in different dutch festivals and venues such as North Sea Jazz Festival, Dias Latinos, Bimhuis, LantarenVenster, De Doelen, Theater Zuid-Plein, Ground and New Ground.
During my whole academic career in Italy, Poland and Belgium I had the opportunity to perform wether in Jazz ensembles wether in Classical-Contemporary Percussion ensembles but since 2018 I’ve been focusing more on drums, especially in Jazz and Latin music. Certainly I cannot regret my musical adolescence which was truly inspired by diverse drummers from Rock, Pop-Punk Rock and Heavy Metal genres.
Formación
Since I was a little kid I’ve shown my passion towards the colorful worlds of percussion playing my mom’s pans and pots in the kitchen. I was very lucky to have a real drum set in my father studio, so that every weekend he used to bring me there to play. At the age of seven years old I started taking lessons in the music school of my home town and after some years, at the age of 15 I was admitted at the “Conservatorium G.P. da Palestrina in Cagliari” to study classical percussions. I could start my musical academic career quite soon, so that at the age of 19 I started the Bachelor program in Jazz Drums while I was concluding the Master program in classical percussions. From October 2016 till June 2017 I had the chance to study classical and contemporary percussions at the Music Academy in Krakow (Poland). This was my first life and musical experience abroad, which opened up my mind and changed my perspectives. On October 2017 I concluded the Master program in classical percussions with the mark of 10/10. Almost towards the end of the Bachelor in Jazz Drums I left my home town for following as an exchange student the “Royal Conservatory in Ghent” (Flanders, Belgium) between September 2018 and June 2019. After graduating from the Bachelor’s degree in Jazz Drums with 110/110 cum laude at the “Conservatorium G.P. da Palestrina in Cagliari” I started a Master program in Music and Performance as jazz drummer in Ghent. Hence between September 2019 and June 2021 I’ve been a student of the “Royal Conservatory in Ghent”.
Because of my passion for the Afro-Cuban music, especially Cuban Jazz and Latin Jazz, in April 2021 I decided to apply for a Master program in Latin Music at CODARTS Rotterdam. In September 2021 I obtained the Master Degree’s in Music and Performance as a Jazz drummer at the “Royal Conservatory in Ghent” with Great Distinction and at the same time I moved to Rotterdam for beginning the Master Program at CODARTS. A few months ago, July 2023, I obtained the Master Degree in Arts of Music as Latin Drummer and Percussionist at CODARTS Rotterdam.

SPECIALISED IN TEACHING ADULTS.
Would you like to learn one of the instruments which have more style possibilities? Would you like to know why many composers say that is a very powerful instrument because it fits in may situations? Did you know that in the Klezmer history clarinet substituted the violin for projection reasons but also because perfectly able to imitate the human voice, crying or laughing? Would you like to discover the fascinating world of clarinet?

One of my priorities as a musician is the sound. I believe that with a beautiful and personal sound you are able at every level to transmit emotion and meaning, it doesn’t matter the difficulty or the level. So I try to focus first on awareness of what’s beautiful for the student and what’s not. Then through technique and repertoire (suggestions of the student or suggestions of mine that can help to grow the student curiosity), we develop the student knowledge.

Always helping the student to understand -depending on his/her the theoretical level- what we are doing, putting together music and theory. And giving tools to expand the border, at all levels. I have knowledge and experience in Jazz, Classical, Klezmer, Choro Music and Improvisation.
You just need a precious element!

• Music Theory
I focus on having a good basics, spending as much as we need to understand every single thing, because then with times it becomes more easy. I try to help the student simplifying the material because then, we only with ourselves with a good procedure of the basics to solve any problem. Only with one lesson, you will understand what I mean.

I have experience in preparing students for exams, the ones for the semester as well as any official exam; doesn't matter if you have an intermediate theory level and you want to improve, or if you would like to be stronger solidifying the knowledge you have (which is always the best option), or if you don’t know anything about notes and music concepts and you would like to be familiar with them. Maybe you are an adult who always wanted to improvise but doesn’t know where to start...?
The only thing you need is a good organization -which I can provide- to reach any goal!

Two worlds

I was born within two worlds, the East and the West; the folklore music of central Greece and the classical one. A major factor in the formation of my musicality comes from the tight relation of my family with Greek traditional music. However, music of any kind was always welcome at my home. Inspired by my father who is also a singer, I got involved in choir singing and started piano lessons. Opting for singing was a choice that gave me the freedom to express my mind.

R’n’B & Latin

At my first piano lessons, I realised how music is put on paper and the importance of it. At about the same time I started singing in the school choir of my secondary school and I kept being between the lead voices of the high school choir. That was the point where I practiced the different voice harmonies and got over my teenage reluctance by singing in front of the public. At the sweet age of 14, I developed a special interest in R’n’B and soul music. Later on, I got involved in the pop and rock scene but suddenly, Latin jazz music attracted my interest.

One of the reasons I fell in love with Latin music is because I feel that each emotion is manifested at its maximum glory. Latin music is a mixture of cultures and backgrounds; it is the fusion of European harmony brought to the colonies with African rhythms like Cuban music was brought to New York.

Singing as a vocal discovery

I consider myself a people’s person. When teaching I have the need to welcome the student into a safe environment of acceptance where music can happen. In order for the student to let go of personal timidness, mutual trust comes with time yet is necessary. I prioritise my students’ needs; teach them the technical aspects they should know so as to develop a healthy instrument but also coach them so that they develop their taste in music.

Because I have been singing various styles through my career, I believe I am quite a chameleon of styles (Latin, Brazilian, Jazz, Pop, Greek). In my lessons I find helpful to use some mini percussion so that the singer can establish an internal metronome. I am very supportive with each individuals’ needs and goals, that is why I always make a personal profile of my students and their progress and also ask them to design their personal dream board. All in all, I always use a combo of methods and adapt at the personal needs of the student.

Singing for me is always a vocal discovery and this is what I would like to help my students achieve. The essential idea is to develop a healthy instrument with which you can express through the good and bad days. I have been studying with different teachers around the Netherlands (Codarts alumni) and Greece and during this time I have realised that learning can happen anywhere and anytime.

Hello everybody! Welcome to my profile!

Have you always wanted to know more about rhythm, percussion and drums? Then you are in the right place! :)

My name is Giovanni, I'm an italian percussionist currently living in The Netherlands and studying at Codarts music school in Rotterdam.

Latin music is the field I explored and studied the most, especially music coming from Cuba and Brazil: two different and at the same time similar worlds that boast an incredible and extremely interesting music culture.
Talking about Cuban music, my main instruments are congas, bongos and timbales, together with all small percussion (guiro, maracas, clave, shekere). I will guide you through the different music styles that developed in this wonderful island during the past 200 years, such as salsa, son, rumba, cha-cha-cha, mambo, songo among many others.
About the Brazilian side, I can teach you how to learn to play the pandeiro, in all its different styles and rhythms, together with the timbau, the repique, the dobras, the surdo and many other instruments that belong to this amazing tradition.

In my musical career, I also got to play and studied other types of percussion that belong to other traditions. To name one, the cajon, originally coming from Perù and later incorporated in spanish flamenco, is another fascinating instrument, and incredibly versatile when it comes to play many styles of music, especially western pop and funk music: it can really function as a substitute for the drums!

Talking about drums, I will be happy to guide you through the study of this marvelous instrument as well, starting from the basic techniques until the study of all the rhythmic possibilities that this instrument gives.

If you're interested, don't esitate to contact me!
