Je joue du piano depuis 15 ans, de la batterie depuis 10 ans et de la guitare depuis 5 ans. Je peux dire avec confiance que j'ai bien appris à m'enseigner moi-même rapidement et à m'entraîner sur un instrument, ce que je voudrais partager avec tout le monde. Devenir un très bon joueur ou même un virtuose est beaucoup plus facile que tout le monde ne le croit, et j'aime bien enseigner cette compétence aux gens, que ce soit aux débutants, aux joueurs intermédiaires ou aux musiciens avancés. Qu'allons-nous faire? On va apprendre à lire la notation, improviser, jouer des pièces musicales, composer, avoir l'air cool en jouant et se faire plaisir. J'ai enseigné la batterie depuis des années en français, anglais et tchèque — j'ai aussi enseigné aux enfants à Park Lane International School à Prague, une école prestigieuse dont les élèves ont remporté cette année un concours international de musique.

Hello! 🥁🎵 Are you looking to start a new musical adventure ? My name is Chen. I’ve been living, performing, and teaching here in Amsterdam for the last few years, and I hold both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in jazz drums from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam (CvA). I love diving into a massive mix of styles, blending everything from jazz and minimalism to rock, electronic music, and creative groove concept drumming. I truly believe that music lessons should be tailored to what gets you excited. Whether you want to master a solid practice pad routine, learn your favorite songs, build up your timing and coordination, or dive deep into advanced improvisation, we will design the lessons around your goals. All ages and levels are welcome! Let's make playing the drums fun, focused, and uniquely yours. Get in touch, and let's get started!

Ready to take your drumming to the next level? Whether you are picking up sticks for the first time or looking to break through a technical plateau, these private lessons are tailored to unlock your full potential behind the kit. With over a decade of playing experience specializing in high-energy genres like Alternative Rock, Punk, and Metal, I focus on building a rock-solid foundation. We won't just mindlessly memorize beats; we will dive into the essential mechanics that make a real difference in your playing—including the Moeller technique, seamless hand-foot coordination, sharp rudiments like paradiddles, and using dynamic ghost notes to bring your grooves to life.
