Graded Instrumental Drum Tuition, Audition and Test Prep

Àpd 350.45 CNY /h

Whether you’re aiming for official instrumental qualifications, preparing for music school auditions, or just want to sharpen your skills with focused, professional guidance – this class is for you.

I offer graded drum tuition based primarily on the RSL Awards (Rockschool) syllabus, helping students progress through structured levels while developing real-world performance skills. With years of experience teaching RSL, I guide students through the technical exercises, performance pieces, sight-reading, listening tests, and theory knowledge required for each grade – from beginner to advanced.

If you’re preparing for auditions or entrance exams (e.g. music colleges, conservatoires, or extracurricular music schools), I also offer:

Help selecting and preparing audition pieces (including adapting pieces to suit your strengths)
Technique and timing development
Ear training and sight-reading
Performance coaching (stage presence, confidence, dealing with nerves)
Mock auditions with feedback

What’s offered:
Tailored 1-to-1 drum lessons based on your goals
Graded exam prep (RSL Awards/Rockschool focus)
Support for audition/test prep for music schools and colleges
Development of technique, groove, musicality, and creativity
Guidance on backing track performance and studio skills

Other syllabi available on request:
While RSL Awards is my specialty, I can also adapt lessons for those following Trinity Rock & Pop or ABRSM exam boards if required.

Whether you’re working toward your first drum grade or auditioning for the next step in your music career, I’ll help you play your best with confidence and clarity.

Présentation

Hi, I’m Tom – a professional drummer with over 10 years of experience performing, touring, and recording across Europe and the UK. I offer personalised drum lessons—online or in person—designed for everyone from complete beginners to advanced players preparing for live shows or studio work.

I currently play with dark melodic metal bands Midnightmares and Fragmentum. My career has taken me to major festivals and venues throughout the UK and Europe.

I hold a foundation degree in Professional Music Production & Performance from Manchester Metropolitan University, and I’ve taught drums both privately and in music schools. My teaching approach combines structure with creativity, using RSL, Trinity, and ABRSM methods—while always adapting to the student’s personal goals and musical interests.

The focus in piano teaching is on technique, interpretation and theory for the advanced. These elements are included in a playful way with beginners. The attention in this process is focused on the individual specific wishes of the student.

I am a professional violinist based in Antwerp, currently finishing a master in pedagogy in the Conservatory of Mons. I propose to teach the violin to children or adults. I adapt as much as possible to everyone, according to what you want to play with the violin :) I am also looking a lot for the best posture, to find the most comfortable way of playing for each student.

I am free in the weeks and in the weekend, so feel free to contact me!

-----------------------------------------------

I am a professional violinist currently living in Antwerp. I am also in pedagogy training at the Conservatory of Mons. I propose to give lessons at home, I adapt to each student, according to the time he devotes to the instrument and his tastes. The approach of the instrument for beginners can be done in a "classic" way (through exercises, studies, pieces) or more playful. I can also give notions of music theory in addition! Possibility also to work only by ear.

I focus a lot on the feeling, the relaxation and the posture, so that playing the violin is still a pleasure.

I can give classes in French or English.

The content of my lessons is tailored to what you need:
• Technique: Training flexibility and strength to be able to play more easily
• Interpretation of music in all styles: How do you play baroque, classical, tango, bossa, romantic?
• Learning to deal with stage fear and nerves: Everyone can learn this and it has everything to do with the way of practicing!
• Learn to study new music efficiently: Learn a new composition in a week or even a day.

For beginners, all of this is covered in my series of lessons.

Cello Lessons for all levels:
My main goal with my teaching is to share my passion for music with my students. I believe strongly that this passion leads to discipline and curiosity which benefit all other aspects of one's life. Whether or not my students decide to pursue music as their main profession, I believe they have much to gain from learning the cello. Besides the discipline one learns, Music-making in itself is fulfilling!! :)

Conservatory Preparation:
In my experience as a musician living and working in Belgium for the past 9 years, I have noticed a gap in the musical education of young Belgian music students transitioning from Music academies into Conservatories. Oftentimes, these young music students seeking to enter conservatories do not possess the necessary skill level to enter higher education in Music. Through my private teaching, I intend to bridge this gap by catering specifically (though not exclusively) to these students. I strongly believe that there is a huge demand for this type of teaching which I am capable of providing.

French student who just moved to Antwerp, I've been giving lessons for years in France and it was such a pleasure, that I want to experience it here again. Specialized in Romanticism/Modern, I also improvise.

I can teach the good habits as a pianist to never hurt yourself and to quickly develop a good technique and musicality: Position, gesture, and practice tools.

I also love to link the pieces with images, paintings, and movies, to create a whole connected world of senses and art.

Hello! My name is Marcos, I am a clarinetist and I live in Brussels. I offer private lessons in person (they can be at your place or mine) or online.
I have experience as a teacher for the last few years with children, adults, individual and group classes. Professional or amateur level.
In my lessons, I help students find a good contact with the instrument and cultivate a positive relationship with music by integrating the development of auditory skills, a sense of rhythm and optimal use of the body, allowing them to connect with their musical imagination.
Lessons are tailored to the needs and desires of each student.
The most important thing is that we have a good time!
