Andrew - United Kingdom269 AED

269 AEDLearn To Play The Drums from Beginners to Professionals

My teaching approach varies depending on the individual student’s needs and learning style. However, my teaching philosophy is based on encouraging students to think for themselves, using real-world examples wherever possible. I work with each pupil to set their own realistic and achievable goals. Depending on the student's goals, ability and understanding I usually start from a base that utilises their musical interests and moves gradually towards more complex areas which can include technique, independence and creativity as their confidence builds. Throughout the learning process, I use questions and examples to check their understanding and progression continually. I don’t lecture my students or ask them to memorise things. I believe passionately in the huge value of tutoring and sharing the knowledge I have gained with my students. I take great satisfaction in seeing my students achieve their full potential as they rapidly progress and surpass their goals.

Ian - London, United Kingdom207 AED

207 AEDOnline drum kit lessons with experienced and versatile teacher

I graduated in 2004 from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and since then I have taught in virtually every facet of Drums and Percussion, from private individual drum kit lessons, to being the percussion tutor for The National Children's' wind orchestra, to teaching Rock and Pop workshops to children in Schools across the country for the Lloyds TSB note for note campaign. I have taught drums/percussion all over the UK for the last 14 years, which involves teaching and entering pupils for the Trinity Rock and Pop exams/rock school exams, with a high level of success. I have also previously entered pupils for ABRSM exams too. I am reliable and very organised when it comes to planning and delivering lessons, and I like the pupils that I teach to have fun but also to work hard, both in the lessons and also with regards to regular practice. Each lesson is tailored to the individual pupils needs and interests, and I can also teach popular music and rock songs to students that do not wish to learn to read music or do Graded examinations. The emphasis is on having fun and progressing each week, with realistic goals tailored to the individual. I am also able to use and provide the latest technology, including theRC505 loop station for composition and creative exercises during the lessons.

Olie - United Kingdom181 AED

181 AEDOnline Drum / Percussion lessons taught in relaxed environment by pro musician.

Drum teacher: Jazz, Latin, Funk, Rock, Orchestral *Teaching Skype lessons at a reduced rate!* *Lots of availability anytime as of April 2020!* *Teaching peripatetic drums and percussion in two schools in Knightsbridge and Hackney* I have a 2:1 Bmus in Performance & Production from LCCM. The skills I have learned from my degree are as follows: -I am a competent reader, able to sight-read music for musical theatre, jazz, and Latin arrangements -I have an in-depth knowledge of a wide range of styles: Jazz, Latin, Funk, Orchestral, Rock, German oompah music! -I gig regularly, in all of the styles above, I am often called at short notice to dep gigs when the main drummer can't make it. -My ears have improved greatly by going to jazz jams, attending lots of gigs, seeing how the pros do it! -My university was more like an academy, meaning it was 95% practical, in my final year I was in every day 9 am-9 pm, rehearsing or doing individual practice, the improvement in my playing would not have been equaled had I done a more academic degree. -My ability to work in a team and just communicate with other people has greatly improved. In my final year, I was asked by a lot of my peers to play for their recitals, I was overwhelmed with work but managed to pull through, and as a result, I have created a good reputation for myself and a long list of musical contacts, something very valuable. -I have grade 5 music theory, putting it to practical use by writing music for string quartet, jazz combos, and salsa bands. I have also created backing tracks for my own original music. -Using electronic sounds within a normal acoustic set-up is something I do regularly now. I often have a metronome in my ears on live gigs and have to play specific electronic sounds in time through a Roland SPD-SX, this gives me the ability to replicate specific sounds from studio versions of tracks. I come from a family where music is extremely important. At school, my first band was a rock covers band where my brother played bass. We played regularly in pubs in Dorset, (you may have heard of the Teddy Rocks festival, we played in the very first festival and have played with my band Last Resort ever since). My first teacher was keen for me to learn how to read music, meaning I could play in school orchestras for musicals. I have 2 Grade 8 distinctions, one from Rockschool and one from Trinity Guildhall, I did the Rockschool one first and then thought it best to add the Trinity one! The rock band I was in still plays, we have an EP online and continue to write original music. Having just finished uni, I am keen to start my musical career ASAP, I want to stay in London because it has the best music scene in Europe!! My teaching has reading and listening to its heart. The best thing I have done since coming to London is open my ears to all the styles I didn't like, listen over and over, until they started to grow on me! Music is a cultural and historical lesson as well, it's interesting to see where the popular styles of today came from! Reading will just make you more employable as all the sessions, musical theatre and holiday camp drummers will tell you! I use software such as Noteflight which allows me to playback scores, making sight-reading an easier and more enjoyable process, and meaning I can share scores with students via email. Each student is also given a video recording of what we studied in the lesson, which is a very valuable resource, something they can take away from each lesson, and makes remembering what we learned much easier! I look forward to answering any queries you may have and hope to teach you very soon!

Jonathan - Laval, France176 AED

176 AEDBattery: Classes / internships / training / face-to-face and distance coaching

Trusted teacher: I offer my services (lessons, internships, training, coaching) to drummers of all levels, all musical styles and all geographic areas The first contact consists above all in discussing the desires and the desired axes of progression. For people wishing to opt for the classic format courses: Different packages with sliding scale tariffs are offered. For people wishing to go further: Intensive training / internship with pedagogy and personalized coaching, in order to give a big boost in technique, music theory (optional), but also on other aspects of the modern musician (home studio, stage ...). This is for any motivated and available drummer, at least 17 years old, wishing / wishing to improve or even professionalize, to become intermittent (e) or teacher of drums, to integrate one or more semi-professional or professional groups, to be versatile or to excel in their favorite style (s) ... For people wishing to learn at their own pace, without any scheduling constraints: System of distance learning videos (which can be accompanied by scores), relating specific themes at the request of the pupil (can possibly replace lessons or be complementary to them) For people who have not yet decided to get started on this instrument: Discovery course over several hours or even several sessions, in order to discover the world of drums (For more details on all these formats, contact me) In all cases, I adapt to each student on: - the form: I am flexible and can use alternatives to music theory for those who are resistant to it (for example, by making a video of the summary of what was seen, by re-explaining orally and by re-performing the exercises on the drums)) - the background: I always adapt to the wishes of the student if he knows what he wants The most important thing for me is to make things seemingly complicated -> simple to understand and to execute, while making sure that I direct the student in the direction he wants to take, and that he takes fun to learn The goal is to regularly cover pieces of music in order to put the things learned in a purely musical context. Regardless of the course chosen, I accept all means of payment, as well as CESUs. The latter is very interesting for the employer (yourself) because it will allow him to benefit either from a tax reduction, or from a tax credit if it is not taxable (50% of the amount courses in the year deducted from taxes or credited in taxes the following year)

Alec - United Kingdom150 AED

150 AEDDrum Teacher available for technical and motivational lessons online

Trusted teacher: 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! :)

At the time of this review, I have completed 4 lessons with Bruno. I can say with confidence that Bruno is an excellent and patient tutor, who has helped me get confident with the drum kit and also sustain my interest for learning drums (Before these lessons, I have never learnt music or drums earlier - so a complete newbie). He is very professional and his lessons are customised to the student. I recommend him very strongly to anyone who wishes to learn drums!
