Drum Teacher available for technical and motivational lessons online

From 39.92 $ /h

If you want to know not just about drum techniques and playing, but also about its history and musicianship, you'll definitely have a unique experience with my lessons.

I believe drumming is not just about playing and knowing your chops, but also about being able to listen to others in the band and make sure you "be" part of the music, without resorting to thrashing around and proving to others what kind of noise you can make. Hence the phrase "A band should be as good as its drummer". :)

Drumming is undoubtedly a way of building up your self-confidence, in order to establish your identity. The drums are a great use to channel your emotions, so long as you don't have to pull a Keith Moon. ;)

I can also add keyboards to the mix.... But why is it relevant for a drummer, you may ask? Well, although it may look the contrary from the outside, having an ear for other instruments and chords is absolutely essential, because both your drumming nd ability to improvise contributes to the atmosphere of each song.

If you want to know more, do please get in touch. I look forward to rocking out with you! :)

About Me

There's nothing more important to me than being in the now, forgiving yourself for any mistakes you made and always looking forwards without any dwelling whatsoever.

Jazz/Soul/Rock/Pop drummer Ricky Lawson once said to me in 2010 "If life gives you a thousand reasons to cry, you give life a thousand reasons to smile." And that's been my personal motto ever since. :)

My teaching contains a lot of self-motivations, as they're vital for today's current times.

Welcome to my piano teaching studio! I am a professional pianist offering private piano and theory lessons for students of all levels. As a pianist with over 14 years of teaching experience in Europe and the USA, as well as over 23 years of playing/performing, I enjoy motivating my students with music of their own preferred style and interest, whether that be classical or contemporary. My main goal is to promote a positive experience and love for music-making during the learning process. If the student is interested in a more structured approach, I guide preparation for grades 1-8 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) piano and music theory exams where my students consistently receive highest marks. I also have successful experience preparing students for conservatory entrance auditions, masterclasses, and competitions in the Europe, the USA, India, and Canada. We have class concerts at Pianos Maene for interested students twice per year. I am happy to provide either a more relaxed or a serious approach to learning piano, we simply need to discuss the personal goals and preferences of each student.

My own studies are as follows: I have obtained two postgraduate performance degrees at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp: "Concertsoloist" in Piano Performance and "Chamber Music” (under the guidance of esteemed professor Sergei Edelmann). Prior to this, I received my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Piano Performance/Music from the University of Minnesota - Minneapolis (with Prof. Lydia Artymiw) and Texas Christian University, Fort Worth (with Dr. Tamas Ungar). My experience includes collaboration with many different instrumentalists and singers, performing as a soloist and collaborative member in several orchestras, and receiving top prizes in several competitions. While maintaining my performance and recording career in Belgium at present, I am developing my private music studio in central Antwerp and look forward to meeting new students.

The Tecla y Música Workshop is a space designed to learn and develop your musical and expressive sense through the piano and / or keyboards.
The main objective is to learn to make music and enjoy the learning process and its results.
The material with which we work (songs, instrumental pieces and exercises) is mainly oriented to your musical taste, and the choice is based on gradually expanding your technical and expressive possibilities, while exploring different musical styles.
In this way, different tools are being incorporated to achieve, in a short term, mastery and fluency over the musical language and the instrument.
Given that each student has different interests and concerns, whether playing as a hobby or developing a professional career, composing, improvising, etc., the orientation of the classes is built according to the possibilities and particular needs of each case.
The work proposal implies a weekly class frequency to achieve optimal work dynamics and that the results are visible in a short term.
There is also the possibility of taking isolated classes in order to solve a specific objective such as developing and perfecting some particular aspect of music practice and / or theory as well as preparing instrument exams or theoretical subjects for institutions of musical studies.

Learning to play the piano is a wonderful and very diverse experience! Every beginner has to go through it in their own special way in order to realize their personal aspirations. But sometimes, unfortunately, due to a lack of guidance and direction, the learning process may cause some difficulties followed by unexpected disappointment. If you are in need of said guidance, if your learning experience is not that captivating or satisfying anymore, you don't have to turn away from your dreams of playing the piano - I will gladly help you to get closer to them in a fun and enjoyable way in our lessons!

After finishing music school with the highest grades twice as well as a number of additional courses (improvisation, composition, orchestras, etc.), and after honing my teaching skills for more than 4 years, I can safely say that my lessons may prove useful to any type of student with any kind of given objective at hand. No matter your age, your previous experience, or background, you just need to name me your personal goal, task, or even a dream - be ready to dedicate a little time and effort, and I will take care of all the rest. Learning your favorite song, getting prepared for a concert, or simply improving the skills you already possess - in music, everything is possible and achievable, and I'll be more than glad to prove it to you in our lessons.

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.

✨ Hello!

I am a concert pianist and piano teacher, and I am glad to welcome you to my studio!

🎹 The Studio

• Over 10 years of experience with children and adults
• Advanced methodologies of Russian, Israeli, and US schools
• A pleasant location, a concert grand piano
• An individual approach, a comfortable atmosphere

🤝 Services

All services include the development of aural skills (ear training), all types of piano technique (including from scratch), musical notation, sight-reading, fundamentals of music theory, and solfeggio.

🙋 Lessons for adults

You can start learning music at any age! It is scientifically proven that all musical skills can be developed. I understand how difficult it can be to start something from scratch in adulthood, which is why during lessons I pay special attention to the absence of criticism and pressure.

Learning through your favorite music across various genres (pop, rock, classical, jazz, boogie-woogie, music from games and movies), at a comfortable pace, playing the instrument.

If you have studied music before, it is possible to restore your skills.

🧒 Lessons for children

Harmonious personal development through music. This includes maintaining and developing an interest in playing, the ability to express one's own emotions and hear others' through sound, emotional intelligence, imaginative and artistic thinking, and much more.

Lessons usually take place in a playful format. I teach children with learning differences.

🧑‍💼 Lessons for professionals

Admission to professional music educational institutions for piano: children's music school (ДМШ), college, university (including ABRSM and others). Preparation for concerts and performances. Also covering collaborative piano and ensemble disciplines.

Detailed work on sound production, all types of piano technique, composers' styles and genre characteristics, as well as the ability to perform a piece on stage.

💻 Working online

Thanks to detailed demonstrations and explanations using a professional microphone (photo in profile; captures the grand piano sound perfectly), multiple webcams (for showing different angles), as well as special software (Zoom with special settings, and for interested students, Sonobus for lossless audio), the exact same result is achieved as in face-to-face lessons!

📝 My approach

All work is structured individually, taking into account the age of the client and their wishes. This includes the choice of lesson format, the nature of material presentation, musical pieces, genres, pace of learning, depth of immersion in the material, etc. Learn on the music that you like!

I understand the importance of supporting the student's interest and developing their motivation. In this regard, the lessons feature a comfortable psychological atmosphere of respect, without pressure, in which the student can relax and be themselves without fearing judgment from the teacher.

I actively apply psychoanalytic methods and insights. As well as supplementary materials, such as poetry, works of painting, and sculpture to enrich the student's understanding of music.

🧔 About me

I have been working with children and adults for over 10 years. Both with those who playing for personal enjoyment, and with professionals, as well as with children and adults with developmental special needs.

I regularly improve my qualifications as a teacher, and I also perform as a pianist solo or together with singers and ensembles. I am a laureate of the Moscow Piano Competition of Romantic Music (2018).

I have over 8 years of personal psychoanalysis experience, which gives me a deep understanding of the psychological processes during the lesson, and the ability to hear my student better.

Studio lessons on acoustic drums (HBS studio 10th arrondissement or Luna Rossa 13th arrondissement):

About me :

Having been introduced to Metal music and after a great experience in a local band, I continued my studies at the Music Academy International in Nancy and then at the American School of Modern Music in Paris (now a drum teacher there), from which I obtained two degrees.
I worked extensively on contemporary music and jazz. During this time, I also benefited from the teaching of some of the greatest French musicians and educators (Franck Agulhon, Raphael Pannier, Dominique Di Piazza, etc.).
Alongside my studies, I joined numerous training programs which allowed me to start doing many concerts, tours, studio sessions and music video shoots.
All of this is presented in a wide variety of musical styles.
For the past four years, in addition to my numerous concerts, I have been giving drum lessons to around thirty students. In schools, at home, in studios, or via video conferencing.
