Drum Lessons / Schlagzeugunterricht - Friendly, approachable, and enjoyable from the first lesson!

Drum Lessons / Schlagzeugunterricht - Friendly, approachable, and enjoyable from the first lesson!

Drum Lessons / Schlagzeugunterricht - Friendly, approachable, and enjoyable from the first lesson! Lessons available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, & German. I am Tomás , an experienced live and studio drummer with a Master Of Music degree from the Royal Northern College of Music in the UK and I am available as a private tutor. 
MY APPROACH
 I am aware that everyone is different and therefore lessons need to be individually tailored every time. I will make an effort to get to know you as a person as well as your reason for playing the drums so I can then adjust your lesson material adequately. This ensures that every student is enjoying themselves from the very first lesson and therefore the learning will naturally occur much faster.
 WHERE Lessons are at my studio in Neukölln/Kreuzberg. The room is spacious and comfortable and has a PA system and two drum kits, making it ideal for lessons. I am also available to teach at the student’s location; AGES I have taught one-on-one lessons to kids as young as 7 but also to adults in their 50s and 60s. Whatever your age, we will make it work.

 SKILL LEVELS 
My experience ranges from teaching young beginners who are just starting out to mature drummers who need to polish their playing. For beginner students, I will teach you the basics of drumming in an approachable way to make it enjoyable from the very start. For experienced drummers, I can improve your technique, groove, feel, tone, articulation, dynamics, stage performance, vocabulary, listening, and reading. All this so you can become a better musician, not just a drummer. I also like to teach in a way that empowers you to teach yourself in the future. ABOUT MY TEACHING EXPERIENCE I have been teaching 1-on-1 lessons for 11 years. I also have 7 years experience leading drum and percussion workshops. ABOUT MY DRUMMING EXPERIENCE I've been drumming for over 22 years and have now recorded and gigged with multiple bands, some of which I am the co-founder and co-songwriter for. Styles of music I have performed include rock, jazz, funk, psychedelia, afrobeat, disco, dance rock, electro, grunge, metal, blues, latin, and samba. I have a Master Of Music degree from Manchester’s Conservatoire (Royal Northern College of Music) in the UK. I also have experienced producing, composing, and mixing which I am more than happy to share with you. If you’ve got any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me. All the best, Tomás

Music Lessons / Piano Lessons / Music Theory in Erpe-Mere (Burst)

Music Lessons / Piano Lessons / Music Theory in Erpe-Mere (Burst)

As a piano teacher, I possess a strong musical ear, extensive piano skills, and a broad knowledge of music and music theory. Thanks to my experience as a music teacher, I can guide students in their musical development in a clear, structured, and inspiring way. I am fluent in sight-reading and can quickly analyze and explain music, which helps me support students efficiently and purposefully during their learning process. In my lessons, I combine technical development with musical understanding and expression. Patience, clear communication, and a positive learning environment are essential to me. Every student is different, which is why I use a personal approach that pays attention to the pace, level, and goals of each student. My strong motivational skills help students gain confidence in their playing and continue to enjoy learning music. An important part of my work as a piano teacher is recognizing my students' strengths and weaknesses. By observing and listening carefully, I can provide targeted advice and adapt exercises so that students develop step by step. I help them improve their technique, deepen their musicality, and strengthen their confidence on the instrument. The primary task in my piano lessons is to motivate students and make them enthusiastic about playing the piano. I want students not only to learn to play, but also to develop a true love for music. Therefore, I pay attention to technical skills as well as musical interpretation and listening skills. During the lessons, I work systematically on the development of hand and finger technique. This is done through targeted exercises such as scales, arpeggios, chord structures, and other technical exercises that help build flexibility, strength, and control in the fingers. Additionally, I guide students in reading sheet music correctly, understanding rhythm, dynamics, phrasing, and musical expression. I also develop and use adapted teaching materials and exercises that match the student's level and progress. By regularly reviewing and adjusting the exercises and techniques, I ensure that students build a solid technical and musical foundation. In addition to learning to play existing pieces, I also focus on understanding music. Therefore, students in my lessons are also introduced to elements of music theory, so that they better understand how music is structured. This helps them practice more independently, learn new music faster, and develop a deeper insight into music. My goal as a piano teacher is to create an inspiring learning environment in which students can develop musically, discover their creativity, and grow step by step as musicians. Playing the piano is not only a technical skill but also an art form through which people can express emotions, ideas, and stories. Therefore, in my lessons, I always try to connect technique, knowledge, and musical experience.

Accordion Lessons for All Levels | Classical, Jazz, Balkan & World Music | Technique, Improvisation & Musical Expression

Accordion Lessons for All Levels | Classical, Jazz, Balkan & World Music | Technique, Improvisation & Musical Expression

I am a professional accordionist, international performer, and experienced music educator offering personalized accordion lessons for children and adults, from complete beginners to advanced and professional musicians. My teaching approach places particular emphasis on **ergonomics, proper posture, thoughtful fingering choices, and freedom of movement**, helping students develop a natural, efficient, and relaxed instrumental technique while avoiding unnecessary physical tension. A fundamental part of my teaching focuses on **sound production, bellows technique and control, musical breathing, phrasing, dynamics, expression, and interpretation**. I believe that developing a beautiful, expressive sound and understanding how to shape musical phrases are essential to becoming a confident and sensitive musician. Lessons also include rhythm, coordination, listening skills, musical understanding, and improvisation, depending on each student's interests and goals. I encourage students to develop not only their technical abilities but also their creativity, musical independence, and personal artistic voice. My teaching covers a wide range of musical styles, including **classical music, jazz, Balkan traditional music, folk music, and world music**, with an approach that respects the particular characteristics and expressive language of each musical tradition. Every lesson is carefully tailored to the student's individual level, learning pace, musical interests, and aspirations. Whether you are discovering the accordion for the first time, preparing a performance, improving your technique, or exploring new musical styles, my goal is to provide a supportive, inspiring, and enjoyable learning experience. Accordéoniste professionnel, concertiste international et pédagogue expérimenté, je propose des cours d’accordéon personnalisés pour enfants et adultes, du grand débutant au musicien avancé et professionnel. Mon approche pédagogique accorde une importance particulière à **l’ergonomie, à la posture, au choix et à l’organisation des doigtés, ainsi qu’à la souplesse et à la liberté du geste instrumental**, afin de développer une technique naturelle, efficace et sans tensions inutiles. Une place fondamentale est consacrée au **travail du son, à la maîtrise du soufflet, à la respiration musicale, au phrasé, aux nuances, à l’expression et à l’interprétation**. Je considère que la recherche d’une belle sonorité et la compréhension du discours musical sont essentielles pour développer une interprétation sensible, personnelle et expressive. Les cours abordent également le rythme, la coordination, l’écoute, la compréhension musicale et l’improvisation, selon les intérêts et les objectifs de chaque élève. J’encourage le développement non seulement des compétences techniques, mais aussi de la créativité, de l’autonomie musicale et de la personnalité artistique. Mon enseignement explore un vaste répertoire comprenant **la musique classique, le jazz, les musiques traditionnelles des Balkans, les musiques folkloriques et les musiques du monde**, en respectant les particularités stylistiques et les traditions d’interprétation de chaque répertoire. Chaque cours est adapté au niveau, au rythme d’apprentissage, aux intérêts et aux aspirations de l’élève. Que vous souhaitiez découvrir l’accordéon, perfectionner votre technique, préparer une prestation musicale ou explorer de nouveaux horizons, mon objectif est de vous accompagner dans un cadre à la fois rigoureux, stimulant, bienveillant et agréable.

🎼 Music theory & music theory clearly explained, with examples on the piano

🎼 Music theory & music theory clearly explained, with examples on the piano

Do you have trouble reading music? Do you love listening to music, but don't understand time signatures, keys or chords? Music theory often sounds abstract, but with the right explanation and concrete examples it suddenly becomes a lot more logical, and even fun :) For whom? - Beginner or advanced musicians who want to better understand what they are doing. - Students preparing for music theory exams (e.g. music school, entrance exams). - Independent artists/producers who want to deepen their musical knowledge. - Anyone who is curious about the language behind music. What can you expect? - Clear explanation, at your own pace. - Theory made immediately applicable with examples on the piano. - Extra attention to insight instead of learning dry rules by heart. - Tutoring fully tailored to your level and goal (classical, pop, songwriting, production, ...). About me I obtained a Grade 8 diploma in Music Theory and also a Grade 8 Piano from the Royal Schools of Music. In addition, I hold a diploma in Audio Engineering from Hofa College. I am active as a music artist and producer myself. Thanks to this combination of classical training and practical experience, I know how important it is to make theory understandable, concrete, and musical. I use my own piano during lessons to clarify everything visually and audibly. Possible topics: - Learn to read music. - Scales, chords & harmony. - Form and analysis (classical, jazz or pop). - Rhythm, time signatures & tempo. - Music theory for producers/songwriters. - Songwriting. - Preparation for exams or entrance tests. Practical - 1-on-1 lessons, online or live (if you don't live too far away). - I provide materials, or we work with what you need. - No prior knowledge required. Lessons adapted to your level. 🎶 Feel free to send me a message with your questions or goals. We'll see how I can best help you.

“ Sam is an amazing teacher, patient and open to the student's goals and suggestions. His approach is more technical than theoretical but will nonetheless get anyone willing to learn up to speed on the basics into more advanced notions. He assessed what I was already able to do on the guitar to fill the gaps and help me progress into further fields. So far he's taught me the electric guitar, a bit of bass and piano and I'm very happy about all of it. ”

“ After only a few lessons with Jeremy, I can say that he helped me progress more than I was able to achieve in 2 years trying to learn the bass through Youtube videos… He helped with the theoretical aspects as well as with my playing technique. He is very methodical and adapts to your needs and requests, and he also provided me with homework and very helpful tips and practice exercices. Highly recommended! ”

“ Working with Victoria is a pleasure! She's very skilled in both music and teaching. She is extremely patient and always makes sure that you finish the class with all your questions answered and goals achieved. She tailors the class towards your needs and always finds a way to explain sometimes complicated concepts. Warmest recommendation! ”
