About Me

Hello !
Musician since childhood, I started playing drums at the Vanves Conservatory, accompanied by Xavier Vercken and Florian Bellecourt. I discovered the pleasure of group music and improvisation. I then decided to finish my training at the CRD in Noisiel, and I obtained my battery DEM there.
These years of learning allowed me to develop my musical personality by diversifying my "speech" through different musical styles (jazz, hip hop, rock, Latin music, traditional percussion), which I was able to put into practice through different projects, live and in the studio.

It was through this journey that I understood that the drums are an instrument like any other, that we are a musician, and that we too can express ourselves.
And it has become the center of my pedagogy: to give you the method and the tools which will allow you to reach your objectives, to play as you want, to develop your own musical personality.

Music is a language, and like any language, it puts a grammar, codes and a discourse at the service of communication; with me you will learn to communicate, exchange and thus be FREE with your instrument.

Education

Drums and Percussion lessons (graduate teacher)

35.73 £ /h

My teaching method is based on two points:

Orality and reading.
Indeed, music being a language, it is spoken and written.
It has a grammar, a conjugation, the aim of which is simply to be able to express oneself freely.

The many training courses I have followed, as well as my experience as a musician, allow me to offer teaching adapted to everyone and to all desires: Pop-Jazz or Classical music theory.

My journey :

I have been a music teacher for 14 years, and graduated in 2015 with a DEM in drums and music theory.

After giving a few private lessons here and there, it was in 2010 that I really started teaching, doing replacements in conservatories.
For 7 years, I have been working in a private school, L'École de Musique de Chatou, where I teach more than 40 students.

At the same time, I play for different projects, in electro, in jazz, but also for events.

I base my classes on passion or creating this passion. Far from me the idea of following a basic and linear program of learning, when it comes to art, we talk about sensations, feelings and emotions! It is therefore necessary to create the musical envy in the student and for that three points are essential:

-Listening: What does the student want? Make it a job? a passion ? Discover an instrument? This is the most important point, because it allows to glimpse the desires of the student in order to prepare a tailor-made educational program so that it is in perfect adequacy with his training and his desires.

Curiosity: It's good to know how to play an instrument, understand it better! I give my classes a cultural dimension to be able to undertake music. It is very important to play well, to understand what we play to be able to grasp all the ins and outs and, who knows, reproduce one day in personal compositions.

- Fun: Playing an instrument is above all fun. This dimension is just as important as working your exercises because without pleasure, there will be no emotions. And without emotions the quality of the game is diminished ... It is for this reason that I try as much as possible to transmit my passion and what makes me feel the music since small to my student.

All levels, all styles of music
Men / Women / Children

“90% of my students are able to play up to 100 songs after the first lesson.”

Drumming should be a fun experience. No time wasted trying to learn music theory or reading. We get straight to the point, playing music the way we want to. We'll get past the beginner level in just 2 or 3 lessons, then move on to more advanced things.

The lessons are designed to connect as much as possible with music and passion, and thus be able to express it creatively through the instrument. The courses are intended for everyone, including beginners and children.

BEGINNERS:
Intuitive and musical approach to the instrument
Essential Rhythms of Popular Music
Basic techniques and autonomy
repertoire

ADVANCED:
rudiments and their application
Advanced independence
Work on grooves of different styles: Jazz, Soul, Funk, Blues, Latin Improvisation
Understanding the harmony of music and other instruments Repertoire
Other advanced concepts
How to work professionally

We will seek creativity and enjoyment through music, to connect in the most inspiring and musical way. All of this creates a solid foundation for playing the instrument and routines that work on concentration, technique, and, above all, creativity.
The lessons take place in a music studio. There is also the possibility of giving lessons at the student's home.

I offer saxophone lessons to beginner saxophonists and to already experienced saxophonists.
I also give lessons in improvisation, theory, harmony, music theory and composition.
In short, everything you need to play and improvise in the style of jazz.
During improvisation classes in my music studio, I use accompaniment instead of a jazz rhythm section (piano, bass, and drums). This effectively prepares students for playing in a real band later on.

In addition to saxophone lessons, I can give piano lessons as a second instrument for saxophonists, which is essential in order to understand and hear harmony.
I give lessons at home in Paris in the 16th arrondissement between the Iéna (line 9) and Boissière (line 6) metro stations.
For students who are unable to attend classes in person, I can provide video lessons via WhatsApp.
My job as a teacher is declared. Students can obtain invoices.
I accept students with irregular schedules and availability.
