Drums and conversational English classes combined!
I am a professional drummer with two recognised UK bands and currently represented by acclaimed industry professionals. I currently live in Paris and offer tutoring in all levels, specialising in finding your own style although I am more than happy to teach someone who has never picked up a pair of drumsticks before. I will be teaching mostly in English which offers an opportunity for conversational classes as a plus. I am looking forward to hearing from you!

Gives drum lessons (electronic and acoustic)
Hello,
I like to transmit and exchange with my students.
Seeing them understand and progressing is essential and very rewarding for me.
My lessons are based on an academic method focused on learning music theory and instrumental practice.
I bring a specific method adapted to the profiles of my students (age, availability, tastes, motivation, "anti-music theory").
I try to make my students independent, help them develop their listening skills, their sense of rhythm and transmit to them an efficient working method.
All styles, all levels: pop, rock, funk, jazz, blues, soul, reggae, latin
Beginner to Intermediate Drum Course - Comprehensive Method
The drums are an instrument that has become essential to many musical genres. It can be metamorphosed at will but does not produce melodies, its mission is to keep the tempo and to give power and / or groove to the orchestral ensemble. I will be there to teach you the basics, limb de-coordination and rhythmic ease and also help you find a personal approach to the instrument.

PARIS BATTERY COURSE
Professional musician (graduate of imep) offering a student-based course.

• My experience of the stage will open you to the art of accompanying a band and putting themselves forward.
• Classes take place in the Marshland school (near the Republique metro) equipped with all the equipment to have fun (acoustic drums, bass and / or guitar to play together, support and learning software. .)

This announcement is for all levels, complement or complete training, I adapt to each student.
Curriculum vitae
My various professional experiences in different professions of music (sound engineer, performer, composer ..), on stage or in studio, allow me to approach differently the pedagogy of the instrument and to bring you a more complete teaching.
My passion, for thirty years already, allows me to simply transmit the desire to work.

Drum Lessons in Paris 19ème – All Ages, All Levels

Tailored to You
Whether you're a total beginner or an advanced player, I adapt each lesson to your goals, pace, and style. Kids, teens, adults—everyone’s welcome.
What You'll Learn
Technique, rhythm, and groove
Rock, jazz, funk, world music and more
Ear training and musicality
Playing with backing tracks or in ensembles
Reading and improvisation
Technique and Lineage
My technical approach is rooted in the rebound-based methods passed down through the Murray Spivack tradition. I was taught by drummers who themselves trained in this lineage—helping you develop relaxed control, endurance, and tone.
Music as a Language
I teach music the way we naturally learn language: by listening and speaking before reading and writing. You’ll learn to feel rhythm, internalise timing, and express yourself on the drums. Reading and writing music are absolutely taught—but always in the right context, as tools to deepen your fluency and independence.
About Me
I'm an experienced educator and former professional drummer, passionate about helping others find their voice on the kit. I've taught students of all ages and backgrounds, and I believe music should be both serious and joyful.
Easy to Reach
The studio is in Paris 19ème, near [insert nearby métro stop if helpful], and easy to reach by public transport.
Flexible Scheduling
We’ll find times that work for you—daytime, evening, or weekend.
Drums
During my years of experience as a teacher, I developed different methods and exercises to teach drumming and music from beginners to advanced students. more important in my function is to have the ability to adapt since each student needs an individual and specific approach. Thus, although my teaching method is based on standardized concepts and exercises, the most important thing is to adapt to each student. I think the main interest is that the students can find the motivation to practice the instrument since the true learning is built by oneself. In this end, the most common is to use the songs chosen by the student and from this point of departure, to highlight the concepts that must be acquired.When it involves students of more advanced levels, I try to focus the teaching on a goal given together.

All-styles drumming, percussion and music theory lessons
I've been a drummer for almost 20 years now, and I've graduated from both Brussels Royal Conservatory of Music (classical percussion) and Mons Royal Conservatory of Music (pedagogy). I've been teaching percussion, the drums and music theory for a little more than 4 years now.
My students are always the real actors of my courses. No matter what instrument you are learning, be it percussion, the drums, marimba, vibraphone, or music theory, I always pay close attention to your personal goals, and together we devise a unique learning plan that adapts to your strengths as well as your weaknesses.
My courses are aimed at anyone who is willing to put effort into learning music; children or adults, complete beginners or more advanced players who wish to receive additional feedback and insight.
Autonomy, creativity, curiosity and listening skills are the true pillars of my methodology. We pay as much attention to technique as to musicality or listening skills.
Additionally, I provide tailored exercises, on-demand sheet music and transcriptions according to your needs, as well as additional resources and recommendations on my website to nourish your musical life and journey.
I teach the following:
-the drums, in various styles (rock, funk, jazz, shuffle, pop, world music, latin music, on-demand songs) and forms (Moeller technique, speed, rudiments, syncopation, breaks, solo, independence, musicality, double pedal, push-pull, etc.);
-percussion (2 or 4-mallet marimba and vibraphone, xylophone, timpani, cajón, hand percussion), in both contemporary and classical music styles;
-music theory, which can and will easily be integrated into my drumming or percussion courses, or can be taught as a separate course for music students who are seeking remedial education;
-harmony;
-sight reading techniques;
-perfect and relative pitch (experimental)
