Becoming a confident musician is a skill that requires discipline, dedication and hard work. However I strongly believe that whether you wish to progress your skills on an instrument to a professional level, simply get the most out of playing In a band with friends or jamming along to your favourite playlists, the art of learning an instrument is an incredibly rewarding skill. In our lessons we will focus on building a solid foundation across the basics of playing the Drum Kit. We will discover the rich and diverse history of the instrument and move through the jazz, funk, rock and pop era's of music. While I am happy to tailor all of these lessons to the student's needs, I do believe having a basic knowledge of where the instrument and it's vocabulary came from is essential and will have a positive impact on the students playing. Listening is important! We will work through a number of landmark recordings that carve the path of the Drum Kit's evolution and continue the listening process all the way to your favourite songs and how the drums affect that music and the rest of the band! I am also happy to work through ABRSM, Trinity Guildhall and/or Rockschool exam grades. Music is all about communication, and being able to fluently communicate ideas on any instrument requires time and practice. However, like with your very first English lessons in school, over time you can develop the skill of communication to a point where you can exchange many different ideas and create interesting conversations (this time between musical instruments rather than your friends in the pub!). Although I understand music is a not a career for everyone, I strongly believe that learning how to play any instrument properly with discipline and good practice will enhance your life is more ways than anyone who doesn't play music will understand.

Hugo, a professional drummer and composer, holds a higher degree in Modern Music and Jazz Performance from the Conservatori Superior del Liceu. My training has been complemented by working and learning alongside numerous leading figures in jazz and drumming, and I have professional experience in concerts, recordings, and projects with musicians from the national and international scene. I offer drum lessons tailored to each student, from beginner to advanced levels. We'll work on what you really need: technique, sound, timing, coordination, reading music, improvisation, repertoire, or jazz. I can also help you expand your musical training through modern harmony and composition, with the goal of better understanding music and applying it to your instrument. This will help you speak the same language as the other musicians you share the stage with. My goal is to help you play better, understand the instrument, and develop your own sound and language. The classes are designed around practice and music, aiming to ensure that what we work on has a real-world application when playing. If you are interested in learning drums or continuing to develop as a musician, write to me and tell me what you would like to work on.

About My Drum Lessons I am a self-taught drummer and performing musician who believes that learning an instrument should be a gradual, practical and enjoyable process. My approach to teaching comes from my own journey of exploring drumming, developing techniques, understanding rhythm and learning through consistent practice. My lessons are designed for beginners and developing drummers who want to build a strong foundation and eventually become independent musicians. What I cover in my lessons: - Drum Fundamentals: Understanding the drum kit, posture, grip, basic coordination and playing techniques. - Rudiments & Stick Control: Single strokes, double strokes, paradiddles, accents, dynamics and other essential rudiments. - Hand & Foot Techniques: Developing hand speed, control, bass drum technique, hi-hat control and foot independence. - Coordination & Independence: Building hand-foot combinations, limb independence and control over different rhythmic patterns. - Grooves & Rhythms: Learning essential rock, pop, funk and other contemporary grooves, along with variations and fills. - Timing & Musicality: Developing a strong sense of timing, metronome practice, rhythmic accuracy, dynamics and playing along with music. - Song Learning: Understanding drum parts, breaking down songs and applying techniques to real musical arrangements. - Recording & Basic Drum Production: Once you are comfortable playing the instrument, we can explore recording drums, microphone basics, MIDI drums, drum programming and an introduction to recording software. My Teaching Approach Having learned much of the instrument through self-study, experimentation, listening and practice, I understand that every drummer has a different learning curve. I aim to break down techniques into manageable steps, explain not just how something is played but why it works, and help students develop their own understanding of the instrument. Rather than rushing through exercises, I focus on building a solid foundation, developing consistency and gradually applying what you learn to actual music. Whether you are picking up drumsticks for the first time or already know a few grooves and want to improve your technique, the lessons will be structured around your current level, musical interests and learning pace. The ultimate goal is to help you become comfortable behind the kit, understand the instrument and enjoy making music independently.

Hi, I’m Omid, a professional pianist and handpan player from Iran. I’m 32 years old, and I started learning piano professionally at the age of five. Piano has always been my main instrument, and over the years, I’ve developed a strong background in music, performance, and music education. About seven years ago, I discovered the handpan, and it quickly became another important part of my musical journey. Today, I teach handpan to many students and help them discover their own musical voice through this beautiful instrument. Whether you have a musical background or have never played an instrument before, you can start from zero. My lessons are designed to take you step by step—from learning the basics and playing your first notes to improvising, creating your own music, and expressing your emotions freely through the handpan. My goal is not just to teach you how to play the handpan. I want to help you truly understand the instrument, feel comfortable with it, and eventually create music that is uniquely yours. I offer personalized one-on-one online handpan lessons, tailored to your level, goals, and musical interests. Let’s start your handpan journey together! 🎶
