ABRSM Music Theory Grade 1-5 examinations Tutoring

50.6 $ /h

As a freelance musician, I provide high quality tuition in ABRSM Music Theory Grade 1-5 examinations. This class is designed around the student and starts preparation through the graded exam syllabus. As Grade 5 Music Theory is a compulsory examination for all ABRSM performance examinations past Grade 6, it is important that students start early and work alongside their instrumental studies.

I can also assist with pre University/Conservatoire Music Theory studies (Grade 6-8).

My goal is to keep students challenged, but not overwhelmed, and I assign homework and practice questions at the end of every session.

I am DBS checked, and previous practical opportunities and experiences have also enabled me to have a greater knowledge and understanding of Safeguarding, Child Protection, and Health and Safety Policies and Procedures in the work place.

Do you want to learn some cuban grooves? or maybe latin jazz?

Apart from teaching the most amazing latin rhythms, In my lessons I apply the stick control book, to achieve a good technique, and at the same time I teach coordination and grooves, with the best methods and books from the most qualified drummers.

I'm a professional drummer from Spain, but living in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. I have studied Latin drums at Codarts, university of the arts, in Rotterdam, so I've acquired a lot of knowledge and skills on Cuban and Brazilian music, jazz, funk and Pop.

I've performed in places such as:
North Sea Jazz Festival, Het Concertgebouw (Amsterdam), Tivoli (Utrecht), Jazzcafe Dizzy, etc...

An instrument that combines musicality and strong groove?
An instrument that is easy from the first move?
Percussion is the spark that makes you behoove!
I am Keith, a Hong Kong percussionist based in Amsterdam and currently finishing my master degree in the Conservatory van Amsterdam. I have won several major international competitions and have great experience in performing. I have also taught privately and conducted masterclasses to inspire the next generation of percussionists.
The best thing of being a percussionist is that you can play and find music anytime anywhere! Whether if it's a timpani or your comb, you can produce so many different sounds and exciting rhythm. With one technique, you can almost play anything!
If you are a total beginner with music, percussion is one of the easiest way into it. Instruments sound nice already when you play them. Lessons start from knowing the pulse and developing your groove, to knowing the notes and establishing basic musicality. Then slowly you will explore the vast sound world of percussion, starting with drums, mallets instrument or any objects that you can think of!
If you are looking for more help in excelling in your craft, my professional experience can offer you great guidance and advice, no matter if it's technically or artistically, or even stage presence and healthy mindset.
My ultimate goal in teaching is to motivate my students to find joy and confidence through music. I will offer you a clear structure so that you will understand better how to reach your goal, and a supportive learning environment so that you can explore your potential!
Here are some Q&A to know more about myself!

Q: What other instruments except drumset can I learn from percussion?
A: With similar technique, you can play mallets instruments like marimba which has a warm healing sound, or orchestral instruments like triangle or tambourine. And with the rhythmic sense from learning drum set, you can literally play groove in the world, no matter if it is latin or asian or middle east! The sky is the limit!

Q: What do you value the most in your lesson?
A: Sincerity and curiosity. I hope we can have honest communication and I can offer you new inspiration every lessons.

Q: How do you keep your lessons engaging and fun?
A: It all starts with your own interest and passion. If you have a specific genre or instrument that you like, we will build your musical sense from there, even if it's death metal or jazz. I will offer you different kinds of exercises and ideas until you own the skill.

Q: What inspires you to become a musician?
A: I just love to perform!

Who am I?
Hi, my name is Ruben and I love music! I started playing drums when I was 7 and have never stopped. After high school I studied at the Rock Academy in Tilburg, where I developed further as a musician. I am regularly on stage myself. Mostly as a drummer, but also as a guitarist.
I like to share my love for music with others. Through the lessons I give, I let the students experience how much fun it is to make music themselves. I have been doing this with great pleasure for more than 6 years. In addition, I have been teaching for 5 years and I regularly give music workshops.

My teaching is based on my experience as a percussionist, dance accompanist, teacher, composer, producer and as a designer of percussion instruments. My life is percussion: I play it, I teach it, I design percussion and I develop techniques for it. Instruments: Cajon with hands or brushes, conga, Pandeiro, tamborim, agogo, chekere, udu, pop percussion and way more. I am looking forward to meet you.
Rodrigo Cordeiro, Master Percussionist:
'From the first class, I understood that Bart would not be just another music teacher, but so much more, and a life mentor. Music is a complement of the man, and that was clear from the start, this experience gave me value as a person, and that translated into my music. The vast knowledge of many styles, instruments and great experience allows Bart to transparently, correctly and simply pass his message to his students, working with them to draw their own path and understand how to reach their objective, in a way which you are always looking forward to the next lesson.'

English:
As a teacher, I always work from the needs and level of the student. I believe learning music should be fun as well as practical, so I combine technique with direct application in songs and playing with other instruments. My method focuses on gradually building control and confidence behind the drum kit.

A typical lesson begins with a short warm-up and technical exercises (sticks, coordination, timing). After that, we work on grooves or fills, often using a play-along track or music chosen by the student. In band lessons, the emphasis is on playing with other instruments, rehearsal structure, and stage presence: how to play tightly together, present yourself on stage, and how to deal with issues that might occur during your performance.

My specific skills lie in modern genres such as (indie) rock, metal, pop, and groove-based styles. As a mentor and an active performer in several bands, I can share not only technical knowledge but also stage experience, rehearsal tips, and help with gear recommendation and learning about auxiliary aspects (recording drums, stage tech, etc).

The lessons are intended for students and young musicians of all levels—from absolute beginners learning their first beat to advanced players refining their technique or bands who want to take their rehearsal and live performance to the next level. Group lessons and beginner band coaching are also available, where we work together on ensemble playing, communication, and performing.

Nederlands:
Als docent werk ik altijd vanuit de behoeften en het niveau van de leerling. Ik geloof dat muziek leren zowel leuk als praktisch moet zijn, dus combineer ik techniek met directe toepassing in liedjes en het samenspelen met andere instrumenten. Mijn methode richt zich op het stapsgewijs opbouwen van controle en zelfvertrouwen achter het drumstel.

Een typische les begint met een korte warming-up en technische oefeningen (stokken, coördinatie, timing). Daarna werken we aan grooves of fills, vaak met een play-along track of muziek die de leerling zelf kiest. In bandlessen ligt de nadruk op samenspel met andere instrumenten, repetitiestructuur en podiumpresentatie: hoe je strak samen speelt, jezelf op het podium presenteert en hoe je omgaat met problemen die tijdens een optreden kunnen ontstaan.

Mijn specifieke vaardigheden liggen bij moderne genres zoals (indie) rock, metal, pop en groove-gebaseerde stijlen. Als mentor en actief performer in meerdere bands kan ik niet alleen technische kennis delen, maar ook podiumervaring, repetitietips en hulp bieden bij materiaaladvies en kennis over aanvullende aspecten (drums opnemen, podiumtechniek, enz.).

De lessen zijn bedoeld voor studenten en jonge muzikanten van elk niveau—van absolute beginners die hun eerste beat willen leren tot gevorderde spelers die hun techniek willen verfijnen, of bands die hun repetities en liveoptredens naar een hoger niveau willen tillen. Groepslessen en coaching voor beginnende bands zijn ook beschikbaar, waarbij we samen werken aan samenspel, communicatie en optreden.
