Drums, Music and Audio for beginners, intermediate and advanced students.

An Improvisation class thought to be given to any musician whom can already play an instrument and wants to gain some freedom. Not necessarily Jazz oriented. The program will be personalised on you. There will be a bit of analysis and theory. I can teach also on webcam.

Before each class, I simplify what I am going to teach so that the student does not have trouble and has fun understanding. My classes are based on the knowledge I learned in a music university and my own knowledge. The subject is approached in a free / creative way but also in a structured way.

My approach to teaching drums is focused on developing a strong understanding of rhythm in general and applying it on the drum set. I will customise my teaching approach to your needs, depending on the level of your playing and your musical desires. I'll give my best in each lesson to guide you step-by-step into becoming a better musician/drummer. You can learn about: - Polyrhythms - Groove - Technique - Macro & micro timing - Drum sounds for different genres/applications - Controlling dynamics between different limbs - Rhythm singing (konnakol) - Reading complex musical notations - Composing mathematically harmonious/inharmonious rhythms And much more... Starting from beginner, up to experienced drummers. I'm also giving rhythm lessons to non-drummers, just to anyone interested in getting to know more about the rhythmical concepts of South India - the most advanced rhythmic system on planet Earth!

I graduated from the Conservatoire de Nice CNRR (France) in jazz guitar. I studied there for seven years with renowned professors such as Jean Paul Ceccarelli (Sting), Pierre Bertrand, Robert Persi or Philippe Petit. My teaching method is flexible and I adapt it to the needs and desires of the student. We will discuss the technical work on the instrument, the knowledge of the neck and chords and the rhythm. With or without solfege. The goal is to provide the student with the necessary tools so that he can continue learning by himself at home.

I am an experienced guitarist with a focus in jazz and experimental genres. I was a professor at the Jazz and popular music program at the University of Arts and Sciences of Chiapas (UNICACH) for 5 years and graduated from the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas. I have worked with many important figures of the jazz world such as Hans Glawischnig, Jochen Rueckert, Eivind Opsvik and many others. The lessons may cover variety of topics depending on your needs. The most common concepts I teach are: basic and advanced guitar technique, reading, Jazz improvisation Composition and Theory applicable to all instruments. I also teach music production ( Ableton Live, Logic, MaxMSP)

Music is the best way of communication in the world, the most international language and an easy way of sharing. Teaching means a lot for me; it allows me to pass on beautiful things I have learnt and at the same time to improve thanks to my students' feedback. Music and musical teaching are about joy and never-ending curiosity. My lessons are totally compiled on the student's needs, both time-wise and content-wise, and they are aimed to get quick results. We can work out many different topics together, such as learning tunes, technique, improvising, as well as approaching theory, reading, circular breathing, altissimo register and multiphonics... The lessons usually take place in my studio close by Javaplein in Amsterdam or by my house in Bos en Lommer. I work mornings and evenings as well as in the week end. Saxophone is fun! Contact me and get a trial lesson asap, I am looking forward to meeting you.

Having obtained several diplomas at the conservatory, I continue today my musical activity as a main hobby, especially as a drummer in a group Toulon and percussionist / drummer in Marseille. I give lessons of BATTERY, and MULTI-PERCUSSIONS (notion of the rhythm, claves, guiro, xylophone, vibraphone, timpani, drum, Kes kes, congas, cajon ...) for beginners and intermediates (for advanced according to chosen instrument ). On TOULON, MARSEILLE, and SURROUNDINGS (Aubagne, La ciotat, Cassis, St Cyr ...)

My name is Lucien, and I'm a student at Conservatorium Van Amsterdam. My versatile teaching style allows you to learn at your own pace in order to achieve your musical goals, whatever they may be. Whether you would like to learn to play your favourite songs, develop the skills necessary to play in a band, explore a different musical style or otherwise, I can help you make faster progress. My teaching can also offer the following services among many others: - open and bar chords - jazz 4 part, 5 part and 6 part chords - chord substitutions and reharmonisation - scales - playing melodies on the guitar (with and without chords underneath) - right and left hand technique - improvisation and ear training - music theory, music notation and tablature - guitar as an accompanying instrument (for vocalists, saxophones etc.) - solo guitar performance, alternating thumb and walking bass line techniques

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! :)

I'm holding a bachelor degree in jazz music (accordion, keyboards) from Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre and master degree (bandoneon) in World Music / Argentine Tango from Codarts / Hogeschool voor de kunsten (Rotterdam, the Netherlands). During my prior studies, I have found, that I would like to specialize in Argentinian tango/folklore and combine my previous knowledge and skills in jazz and world music as an interpreter and composer.

I'm offering accordion and bandoneon lessons for all ages and levels. Topics: - Technical aspects (scales, modes, exercises, patterns, timing and tone control) - Improvisation and phrasing in different styles - jazz, tango (traditional and tango nuevo), Argentine folklore and classical music and how to adapt them on accordion/bandoneon - Music theory - How to make the accompaniment and to build chords More information about me: For the last 6 years, I have been a composer and a leader in a band called Abraham’s Café. The group has given more than 150 concerts around Estonia and abroad at different jazz clubs and festivals. We have recorded 2 albums – “Journey to Haran” (2013) and “Berber Cinema” (2015). The music of the last album “Berber Cinema” was mainly composed for the Estonian-Palestinian documentary film “Rough Stage”, for which they also toured in Palestine in autumn 2015. For the last five years, I have involved bandoneon into my performances and played Argentinian music in duos with guitarist Martin Lopez Muro (ARG); accordionist Jaak Lutsoja (EST); Martin-Eero Kõressaar (EST); Isabel Bermejo (ESP), Trio Maag (EST) and bigger ensembles - Gran Orquesta Típica OTRA (NL) , Septeto Camaleón (NL) etc.

Dominic I am a 26-year-old percussionist from Ireland with 14 years experience in percussion. I studied Professional Music Performace at the Academy of Contemporary Music just outside of London, graduating with a BA (Hons) degree. After taking tutoring and master classes with legendary drummers, such as Chad Smith (Red Hot Chilli Peppers) and Frank Tontoh (Amy Winehouse), I am well practised in every style and genre catered to your preferences. I teach every aspect of Drumming from performance and reading drum scores, to business and breaking into the music industry.

In this class I would teach concepts of wave theory (frequency, harmonics), digital signal processing (sampling, bit rate), and audio editing (trimming, looping, applying effects) using the free Audacity software. With enough lessons, we could build up all the way to removing vocals from songs and compensating for other lost instruments!
