About Me
I am a multi-instrumentalist who plays about ten ethnic instruments from West and East Africa, also passing through Venezuela, Brazil, Cuba.
Although basically a drummer / percussionist, I play melodic instruments.
Here is to name a few:
- the finger piano (Ilimba) from Tanzania
- the Malian lute kamele n goni
- the Cuatro of Venezuela (small 4-string guitar)
- various didgeridoo and jaw harp

Always accompanied by my voice, I sing in four different languages, texts written by my hand, supported by a little poetry.
Inspired by my travels in West Africa and Latin America to create this style that characterizes me, I am constantly looking for new artistic experiences in order to learn from these musical or artistic exchanges that I consider essential.

Otherwise course level ...

I love to give and transmit my passion by adapting to the possibilities and characters of each.
Observe and get to know a person then appreciate to see them evolve thanks to our exchanges through the courses and their personal work.
I am patient, positive and giving lessons gives me the potato and puts me in a good mood ...
Anyway, I think I'm made for this job (among others).
Come check it out!
Greetings to you

I give drum lessons instead of Vallon 12, in my studio, equipped with 2 drums and recording equipment.

I consider that learning can only be done while having fun, so I adapt almost all my lessons to the desires of my students, while keeping a course of action to follow, based on methods that have been developed. proven to be very effective over the years.

I teach any style of music making sure the basics are solid. (Rock, Funk, Groove, Jazz, Samba, Latin, Metal, Fusion, ...) It is important for me that the student tells me about his desires, his tastes, and to know what the student has desire to learn. Of course, I can come up with tons of songs, but it is always more interesting for the student to bring me what they want to learn.

My local is a recording studio. This means that I record and film sessions with students from time to time. It is very rewarding to see / hear yourself play, even very early in learning, and this service is an integral part of the lessons and is something quite rare in drum lessons in the region.

I enjoy a familiar atmosphere, without pressure, to focus on the essentials in a relaxed way :-)

About the teacher:
Studied drums at the Sleack Kaven School in Lausanne.
Drummer in many Swiss and international groups, specializing in extreme, technical and progressive metal, as well as electro-groove.
Great experience of concerts all over Europe, as well as various recording studios, as well as recording in my personal studio.

Drums teacher since 2016 at the ENSR in Lausanne.
Drums teacher between 2018-2020 at GimmeMusic School, in Etoy.
Private drums teacher since 2017.

Hello,

My name is Clément, I am a professional musician and drum and percussion teacher. I am a graduate of the Haute Ecole des Arts du Rhin in Strasbourg and holder of the State Diploma, I am currently continuing my journey at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne in Master Performer Composer Jazz.
During my career, I had the opportunity to play in several contexts (solo, chamber music band, orchestra) and to be able to immerse myself in different musical aesthetics. (classical, jazz, current, world)

This taste for diversity, which is part of my personality, is partly what I want to pass on to my students.
Another important axis in my eyes in learning an artistic practice is based on the concept of creation, which allows the development of the imagination.

For the drums, in line with your wishes and the objectives that we will have put in place, we can explore the different styles. (rock, funk, jazz, latin, metal..)
For example, here are some concepts that we will work on:
- coordination and independence
- develop their musicality and groove
- technique and sound
- rhythm and reading on score

We can also approach classical percussions (keyboards, skins...) and world percussions (Brazilian, Cuban and African).

We will of course work on the technique specific to each instrument, some notions of musical theory necessary for a good practice, the whole aiming at musicality and expression. Another challenge is to acquire autonomy and regularity in the practice of the instrument outside of class.

I also offer music theory and theory lessons, as well as improvisation and jazz harmony lessons open to all instruments.

The courses I offer are aimed at both children and adults.

For more information, do not hesitate to contact me, I will be happy to answer you.
I hope to have the opportunity to meet you and introduce you to this beautiful universe so that you can have fun while progressing.
