Graded Instrumental Drum Tuition, Audition and Test Prep

Von 42 € /Std

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.

Über mich

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.

I will encourage you to get clear goals, support you in finding a good practice rhythm. We will decide together what pieces you can approach, depending on your tastes and your skills. I will teach you music theory and you might need to prepare a homework for each lesson. My goal is making you to be able to learn and play a piece by yourself in the shortest time possible.
I gladly teach beginners and advanced, students preparing for auditioning to conservatoire are welcome as well.
I teach on a grand piano (Ixelles) or I can come to your place (we need to discuss it).

I am a concert pianist, I've got my first diploma in Romania. I studied also in Austria (Salzburg) and in Switzerland (Zürich). I play in different chamber music groups, I accompany and I teach piano.

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.

If you want to learn how to play some chords, or you want to learn a song to impress your loved one, or you want to play that metal song from Stranger Things, then you've come to the right place!

I am a classically trained guitarist with a background in heavy metal and rock! I've been playing for over 18 years and hold a bachelor of music.

This class is for those who are new to music, but have always wondered how it works!
That is why I offer the basics of musical knowledge.
The focus is on:
- music theory (understanding notes, rhythm the basics of harmony, solfege - in a FUN way)
- reading music (reading music from a score, sight- singing)
- Learning by doing: Exploring piano, voice, drums.. etc.
