Graded Instrumental Drum Tuition, Audition and Test Prep

Van 50.26 $ /h

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.

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.

The lessons are adapted depending on your level and your goals. I love teaching and I have 10 years of experience teaching children and adults.

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.

I am a graduate of the Antwerp Conservatory of Music and have been playing the cello for 20 years. Despite my young age, since 2012, after winning many auditions, I have played in orchestral projects in 18 European countries. I regularly participated in music courses and workshops.
Currently, I work as a freelancer and am an active concert musician and private teacher.
From my own experience, I know how important it is to practise sensibly and effectively at home, which is why I am happy to help young cello students who cannot count on the help of their parents, who are musicians, in this regard. I also work with adults who want to realise their dreams or return to skills they once acquired.

Customized piano lessons. Very flexible; we can agree on a lesson time together. You can choose whether to apply music theory in your practical piano lessons. I do recommend it so you also learn to understand what you're doing. Home lessons are also available.

Music reading is an essential aspect for every musician, from beginners to professional, for either rhythmical and melodic instruments. If you are a beginner or a music student and you need some help, I am here for you. We will go over the basics towards the most difficult rhythms, and we will be also able to read in all the musical keys. Also, we can do basics of harmony and musical analysis.
