From 36.67 $ /h

The drums are a fundamental instrument for any musician. As a drummer, you'll need to master coordination, rhythm, and expressiveness. I've designed this course as a practical guide to developing your technique and musicality.
You will learn the basics of rhythm, rudiments, limb independence, play different styles, and use advanced techniques to enrich your playing and fully express your creativity.

A graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston, I offer Drums lessons (all ages) to beginners, intermediates and advanced.
Sharing music and dialogue with the student are essential for me: I adapt to the needs/desires of each student by offering a musical and instrumental program (in addition to regular work based on technique). Students will be able to play along to playbacks (soundtracks), solo, or simply following a score. The courses will of course be focused on different points, according to your requests. I will use musical language, and teach you how to read a Drum score using simple and effective methods.
I offer a cultural approach to different styles to my students (funk, groove, hip-hop, rock, reggae, jazz, etc.).
I also give lessons in music theory, timpani, djembe, percussion, piano according to your request.

Sharing music and dialogue with the student is essential to me: I adapt to the needs/desires of each student by offering a musical and instrumental program (in addition to regular technique-based work). Students will be able to play on playback tapes, solo, or simply follow a score. The lessons will of course be focused on different points, depending on your requests.

I propose a cultural approach of different styles to my students (funk, groove, hip-hop, rock, reggae, jazz, ...).

Methodology

I base my teaching what the student wants to learn and also through years of teaching and learning I can help guide you on this path.

Techniques, phrase development, solo, accompaniment, odd rhythms and creation of your own sound.

We will cover traditional rhythms from Turkey, the Balkans, Egypt. I can teach darbuka and bendir from beginner to advanced level. Riq, indian tabla, konnakol, cajon, daf, indian tabla and percussion set ups can also be taught

A bit about me:
I have been playing oriental percussion professionally since 2010 with many groups and touring all over the world and I've recorded albums for groups such as Light in Babylon.

I have been playing drums since I was 5 years old, this instrument has always been present in my life. I have met several teachers and therefore several different pedagogies during my learning, going through a small music school, a departmental conservatory (CRD of Blois), a regional conservatory (CRR of Toulouse), private schools (Agostini, Jazz in Tours), a musicology faculty as well as in jazz and contemporary music ensembles. I would now like to share with you the best pedagogy that I was able to draw from all these experiences.

You want to learn how to:
- master swing like the jazz pioneers
- develop your independence to Latin rhythms
- grooving to funk
- apply the catchy rhythms of electronic music to your drums or you are just starting out on the drums, let me accompany you.
We will approach each style using reference methods depending on what you want to learn.

First, I always strive to understand the student's motivations and adapt my teaching to help them achieve their goals. Furthermore, in my course I emphasize three aspects that I consider important.

The first aspect is the student's technique and physical relationship with their instrument (we discuss posture, how to hold the sticks, rudiments, and coordination...). The objective: to obtain a calm and controlled sound, with relaxed movement.

The second aspect is language and repertoire. This involves introducing students to the basic repertoire, linked to the origins of the music that gave rise to contemporary music and the drums (jazz, funk, soul, etc.). This doesn't mean playing jazz or funk perfectly; rather, it's about expanding students' musical knowledge, presenting the evolution of the drums, and introducing them to new groups and styles. With this approach, I try to guide students in the style they want to explore, helping them discover the origins of that particular music.

Ultimately, I equip students with the tools and skills to begin transcribing music independently. On the one hand, I teach key concepts for recognizing structures, the beginnings and ends of musical phrases, time signatures, basic rhythms, and so on. This doesn't necessarily involve music theory. Rather, I emphasize the development of active listening, musical memory, and singing, as essential tools for learning new pieces. To enrich this learning, I use software such as Trancribe!, iRrealPo, Moises, loop libraries, Live, Finale, and others. In my opinion, these resources facilitate and empower students in their musical development.

Basically, I try to help students become autonomous in their learning, and to make them appreciate and understand musical learning as a fun and motivating journey, with no limits other than their creativity...
