Drum lessons for beginners and intermediate players

Hello, I am Francesca and I have been playing the drums for some years now. I have a bachelor and a master's in science but I chose to make a turning point in my life and study music. I was admitted in the conservatory of Groningen in 2021, in the jazz departement but after successfully completing 2 years, I chose to leave the academic institution.

I would like to share the artistry and joy of drumming but also the knowledge I have gained so far, with students of all ages and especially beginners.
In my lessons, I focus on practical skills like rhythm, coordination, and technique. We work through exercises and songs together, tailored to each student's goals and abilities.

My approach is hands-on and encouraging. I know that learning drums can be challenging, so I create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes and pushing their limits. Whether they're aiming to nail their favorite song or just want to have fun jamming, I'm there to guide them every step of the way.

Through patient instruction and a passion for music, I aim to instill not only drumming skills but also a lifelong love for making music. It's about more than just hitting the right beats—it's about feeling the rhythm and expressing yourself behind the kit.

About Me

With a lifelong passion for music and a diverse background in various instruments such as guitar and bass, I embarked on a journey to further hone my skills in drumming, ultimately pursuing studies in the Netherlands. With both a Bachelor's and s Master's degree in science, my heart remained devoted to music.
Having played in various bands and ensembles, I I hope to bring a modest amount of knowledge and expertise to my teaching practice.
My philosophy as an instructor prioritizes the enjoyment and engagement of my students above all else. Whether delving into rock, pop, Latin, or beyond, I customize my lessons to match each student's unique tastes and how they learn best. From mastering favorite songs to refining coordination and rhythm, I strive to create a dynamic and personalized learning experience.
Open to new ideas and approaches, I continuously evolve my teaching methods to suit the unique needs of each student, recognizing that diversity is the key to musical growth.

Education

I have a Bachelor's in Materials Science, a Master's in Medicinal Chemistry and 2 years of Jazz music studies in the conservatory of Groningen, in the Jazz department.

Experience / Qualifications

With a passion for teaching fueled by my enjoyment in sharing what I have learned in my my musical journey, as well as, witnessing others having fun, I bring a wealth of musical experiences to the table. From releasing a post-rock album to playing in various jazz combos and performing, my diverse background infuses my teaching style with creativity and enthusiasm. Though I may be less experienced in formal teaching settings, my dedication to fostering enjoyment and growth in my students is unwavering.

Reviews (1)

Francesca is a fantastic drum teacher. She is very flexible too. In the first lesson, after I briefly played a groove, she showed in what way I can improve. I am sure that people of all levels can learn from her. The location is also pretty nice, though a good teacher is of course more valuable.

Professional classical piano lessons at all levels for motivated students
Do you really want to learn to play classical piano well? Customized piano lessons from performing musician Koenraad. Graduated Cum Laude from the Utrecht Conservatory. All lessons are one on one. We develop a long-term lesson plan. My lessons are for all levels, but only for enthusiastic students who want to work intensively. This means at least one hour of lessons per week. In addition to playing the piano, a lot of attention is paid to harmony, solfége and rhythm. Pianist Koenraad has been playing since he was six years old. While classical music has always been a passion throughout his life, he also explores world music, jazz, improv, film scoring and electronic music. From a young age, he studied jazz rhythm and drums alongside piano. Mainly a soloist, he also enjoys working as a collaborative pianist in the Lied genre and is an enthusiastic chamber music player. Performs in world music and improvisation festivals as well as an orchestral pianist and répétiteur. He is currently preparing for further study in the field of film and game scoring. His biggest music love is that of the work of Scriabin, a composer he feels “carries it all”.

Pan flute Lessons, Theory Lessons, Singing Lessons
The classical/contemporary pan flute has developed only in the last 20 years which concluded with composers writing for this instrument and educators to develop a teaching program. The instrument has been very famous in world music for centuries, therefore the oral transmission played and still plays an important role in teaching and developing the techniques of the instrument. I've been teaching the pan flute for 4 years and playing the instrument for more than 14 years with experience in different styles: folk, classic and contemporary My style is based on demonstration, involving the student in the process of understanding the techniques of the instrument as well as the reasons behind certain musical styles in order to help them achieve confidence and a better interpretation. I use most of the time the brainstorming strategy to help students generate questions and ideas and get creative like in improvising, writing their own melodies, etc. In matters of musical interpretation, I encourage experimenting with phrases, musical colors, rhythms, musical direction, and music analysis.

Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any level
I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

Lessons are customized to align with your musical interests and objectives. If you're interested or have any questions, feel free to reach out, I´d be happy to connect and discuss how we can get started.

Private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisation
Hey! My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels. For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, and pedals, ...? I can help you with all that! Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;) I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example. The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else. Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible. See you soon! Richard PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something :)

Music Exams Support - any aspect, any board, any level.
Sometimes you can sit in a music lesson with your class mates and feel completely baffled as to why others are 'getting it' and you are not! If you are wanting some extra help in preparing for a music exam or even wanting to feel more comfortable with the rest of the class then this class is right up your street. Alternatively, if you would like some extra advice on performance techniques then I can help. Perhaps you are struggling with your composition tasks - that is my speciality. Then there is the analysis of a piece of music that can be so confusing that we could spend some valuable one-to-one time on. I am here to help and below are some reasons why I am well suited to give you the appropriate advice that you need. I worked in a comprehensive school teaching music for over 35 years. In that time I engaged with many different exam boards at GCSE and A level delivering a range of different courses. This experience and my passion for all aspects of music, whether it be performing, composing or listening and analysis enables me to give you the right advice. Whatever you need help with, I am very keen to be able to offer my expertise in any or all of these areas. Each of the three disciplines is intrinsically connected with the other two and having a good grasp of all three will enable you to improve your ability overall.
