Orchestral Percussion and Drum Kit Tuition (all levels)

As a professional freelance percussionist, I provide high-quality tuition in both percussion and drum kit from complete beginner to advanced level.
Students can work through graded syllabuses, improve existing techniques, or learn the instrument(s) as a hobby. The lessons are designed around the student. My goal as a teacher is to keep students challenged, but not overwhelmed.

I can also assist students who wish to/are currently studying percussion/drum kit at the university/conservatoire level.

I am DBS checked, and previous practical opportunities and experiences have also enabled me to have a greater knowledge and understanding of Safeguarding, Child Protection, and Health and Safety Policies and Procedures in the work place.

About Me

I am a freelance Percussionist and Timpanist based in Manchester, United Kingdom. I completed the prestigious GRNCM Joint Course (2:1 and Distinction) at the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) and The University of Manchester between 2012-2016, before completing the MMus (Distinction) in 2017 at RNCM.
I currently teach Percussion, Drum Kit, Piano, and Music Theory in several schools in the North of England. In addition, I organize and facilitate educational music workshops in schools, and I provide private music tuition.

Education

MMus in Performance with Distinction (Royal Northern College of Music) 2017
GRNCM Joint Course Diploma with Distinction (Royal Northern College of Music) 2016
MusB (Hons) Joint Course with 2:1 (University of Manchester) 2015

Experience / Qualifications

I perform regularly as a Percussionist with a variety of different Orchestras, Ensembles, and Musical Theatre productions, including Northern Ballet, National Festival Orchestra, and Skaparis Collective. My theatre credits include; 'The Nico Project', directed by Sarah Frankcom and Maxine Peake (MIF and MIAF 2019), and 'Astley's Astounding Adventures', produced by Frazer Flintham (New Vic Theatre, 2018).
As a freelance musician, I provide high quality tuition in ABRSM Music Theory Grade 1-5 examinations. This class is designed around the student and starts preparation through the graded exam syllabus. As Grade 5 Music Theory is a compulsory examination for all ABRSM performance examinations past Grade 6, it is important that students start early and work alongside their instrumental studies. I can also assist with pre University/Conservatoire Music Theory studies (Grade 6-8). My goal is to keep students challenged, but not overwhelmed, and I assign homework and practice questions at the end of every session. I am DBS checked, and previous practical opportunities and experiences have also enabled me to have a greater knowledge and understanding of Safeguarding, Child Protection, and Health and Safety Policies and Procedures in the work place.

Ruben
Drum lessons in Tilburg - for all ages, styles and levels
Do you love music and spend all day tapping and drumming on everything? Then drumming might be something for you! During the lesson you will rock and groove on the drum kit and we will work on your favorite music. Who am I? Hi, my name is Ruben and I love music! I started playing drums when I was 7 and have never stopped. After high school I studied at the Rock Academy in Tilburg, where I developed further as a musician. I am regularly on stage myself. Mostly as a drummer, but also as a guitarist. I like to share my love for music with others. Through the lessons I give, I let the students experience how much fun it is to make music themselves. I have been doing this with great pleasure for more than 6 years. In addition, I have been teaching for 5 years and I regularly give music workshops.

Music and Drumming: Becoming a Confident Personality Behind the Kit
Becoming a confident musician is a skill that requires discipline, dedication and hard work. However I strongly believe that whether you wish to progress your skills on an instrument to a professional level, simply get the most out of playing In a band with friends or jamming along to your favourite playlists, the art of learning an instrument is an incredibly rewarding skill. In our lessons we will focus on building a solid foundation across the basics of playing the Drum Kit. We will discover the rich and diverse history of the instrument and move through the jazz, funk, rock and pop era's of music. While I am happy to tailor all of these lessons to the student's needs, I do believe having a basic knowledge of where the instrument and it's vocabulary came from is essential and will have a positive impact on the students playing. Listening is important! We will work through a number of landmark recordings that carve the path of the Drum Kit's evolution and continue the listening process all the way to your favourite songs and how the drums affect that music and the rest of the band! I am also happy to work through ABRSM, Trinity Guildhall and/or Rockschool exam grades. Music is all about communication, and being able to fluently communicate ideas on any instrument requires time and practice. However, like with your very first English lessons in school, over time you can develop the skill of communication to a point where you can exchange many different ideas and create interesting conversations (this time between musical instruments rather than your friends in the pub!). Although I understand music is a not a career for everyone, I strongly believe that learning how to play any instrument properly with discipline and good practice will enhance your life is more ways than anyone who doesn't play music will understand.

Francisco
Drum classes, Rhythm, Musical theory. professional drummer
The classes behave based on the interests and level of the student. The idea is to have fun and set objectives and goals to work on to simultaneously advance in technique and musicality when playing the drums. At the same time, there is constant work on posture, breathing and relaxation to improve the interpretation of the instrument and avoid long-term injuries. Usually the class is divided into two sections, the first with technical work to achieve greater ease and comfort when performing, exercises are given to improve musical rhythmic reading applied to the drums, coordination, speed, rudiments, drum exercises and different hits where we will experiment with timbres. The second part is practical; We will perform a repertoire of interest, we will practice rhythms, grooves, applying breaks and fills of different styles. All this aimed at working on musicality and intuition that allows developing a rhythmic "ear", improvising and even composing and arranging one's own songs. I'm waiting for you, happy to receive you in my classes!
