Drumming and how to make your drums fit a composition

A partir de 42.81 $ /h

Drums, as with bass guitar are the backbone of any good song, and the foundation upon which the music is built. Despite not being as famous as lead vocals or lead guitar. Drums in my opinion is much more fun, at all levels of performance.

I will teach you how to play the drums, how to fit the style to the genre and we will learn by practice by breaking down the famous classics, and explain what part drums played to make these classics so good.

We will use my electronic drumset, which is not as good as the real thing but is definitely good for starters. There are ways you can practice at home without a drumset as well. And we can expand later and rent a studio room, where I can jam with you on the guitar even!

Bring your good spirits, and leave your pride outside. You can bring drumsticks if you'd prefer but I have some extra.

Acerca de mí

I am a software developer and a multi-instrumentalist; I play guitar (acoustic, electric, bass and ukulele), drums and keyboards. I have my own one-man-band project that I work on on-and-off. I've always enjoyed teaching. My fondest experiences have been things like teaching swing dancing and German to refugees, helping undergraduates with mathematics and programming.

My approach to teaching is generally more hands-on with application of theory. I will dissect songs with you, and rhythm sections to show why this melody/rhythm is good as opposed to something else. I believe theory is indeed important, but in the end it has to be applied to an instrument. And the application is as fine an art as the theory. So I prefer to start from the application's side.

Formación

I am a Data Scientist by profession, and I have a Masters degree in Computer Informatics with focus on NLP (Natural Language Processing). But music is much more fun to me, and I would love to make the switch soon if I can!

Experiencia / Calificaciones

Music-wise, I have been playing guitar for 13 years, and drums and piano for 6 years. I have released an EP and a full-length album.

Guitar lessons (Acoustic and Electric) and music composition

42.81 $ /h

The guitar is undoubtedly one of the most popular instruments of the modern age. It is so versatile and used in many genres ranging from classical music to Death Metal and even Electronic Music.

I will teach you the basics of playing the guitar, and I'll spice it up later with my experience in composition and songwriting. We will learn by example through the famous songs that shaped our understanding of the guitar. Whether you prefer singer-songwriter-style songs, or thrash metal we'll get there together.

I will teach mainly using the guitar tablature format, we can do sheet music which is generally unneeded for anything besides classical, but I will need to refresh my music sheet reading skills as I haven't had to read any in the last 10 years.

Arabic (Standard and the Egyptian Dialect) - Conversation and Grammar

35.47 $ /h

Arabic is the sixth most spoken language in the world. Spoken by about 420 million natives, and many more that know it as a foreign language for religious reasons.

Arabic is known for its encompassing vocabulary, beautiful poetry, and a sense for the melodrama!

I will teach you either Standard Arabic or Egyptian (your choice), with a focus on the amazing sides of the language and the culture such as poetry, great movies, TV, and so on. And of course we will hopefully have great discussions in Arabic!

Through time I have found out that starting by playing songs chosen by the student and creating exercises to practice that came out from the drums of that song is a very good way to learn how to play the instrument. Also keeps things interesting, since music is always the focus. I can help to choose the songs, but the student is always who decides which songs to play. This way, lessons become 100% personalized!

I have +10 years of experience as a teacher, and I'm an active musician in the Berlin modern jazz, creative music and improvised music scenes.
Obtained my bachelor's degree in the Manuel de Falla Music Conservatory in Buenos Aires (ARG) and the European Jazz Master degree at NTNU Trondheim, RMC Copenhagen and JIB Berlin.

Hi, I am Elijah and I work as a professional drum teacher and drummer session.

Over the past 15 years of experience I have recorded albums with various artists and performed live on tour in Europe. I graduated in Jazz Drums and Percussions from the Licinio Refice Conservatory of Music. And I have learned from great drummers different skills and techniques in master classes and seminars.

Effective learning path, based on your musical interests.
Learn the basics of a groove, develop creativity on the drumset or perfect a technique. The goal is to have fun, it's easier to learn that way :)

Hi there! My name is Samuel, and I’m a Spanish guitar teacher offering private lessons.

I'm originally from Spain, and although my native language is French, I also speak English fluently, so communication won't be a problem at all. Lessons can be conducted in English, French, or Spanish, depending on your preference.

Alongside technique and repertoire, I incorporate music theory and harmony applied directly to the guitar, helping you understand what you play and why it works. This foundation will also allow you to explore other styles such as pop, Latin, or traditional folk, depending on your interests.

You can take lessons at your place, at my studio in Berlin, or online. Flexible scheduling is available.

This class introduces the core concepts of film scoring and how music shapes story, emotion, and narrative in film and television. Students will learn how to support and move images through music, exploring timing, mood, theme, and structure. Lessons are tailored to each student’s interests and level, from complete beginners to advanced composers, and can focus on electronic, orchestral, or hybrid approaches.

The course also includes analysis and deconstruction of existing film scores to understand compositional techniques and storytelling strategies. Students will learn how to set up and optimize their digital audio workstation for film scoring, define personal creative goals, and work with industry-standard orchestral sample libraries and synthesizers such as Spitfire Audio, Orchestral Tools, and Cinematic Studio Series. Films with sound design and no music can be provided for hands-on scoring exercises, enabling practical experience working directly to picture.
