I like to help people find what interests them and encourage them to grow their passion. I
will show you the basics of proper technique while allowing enough space for you to discover your artistic interests. Then I tailor the lessons based on that, and hopefully...that is enough to motivate you to continue exploring on your own ;)

Painting Tutor: Discover and develop your artistic language

35 £ /h

I am an artist and philosopher from Amsterdam currently living in Antwerp. I studied in London where I acquired a BA from Art Academy London and a BA in philosophy from St Mary's University London.

Artistic development starts by identifying your artistic interest. As artists, we don’t always know why we draw and paint the things that we do. Yet they are not random. What captivates us or draws us towards certain artworks? This might be the tonal way in which light reflects, structural forms or mathematical division. The point being, is that we all have such aesthetic interests and step 1 is finding out what interests you!

Step 2 is helping you express your interests through painting techniques, styles and materiality. But it all starts with you. What do you want to say? And how? I will help you do this through discussion, looking at your previous work (if you have any), introducing you to a LARGE variety of artists, potentially copying their styles. I adjust my classes according to your needs.

The goal is simple: to come to understand your artistic interest, help you find techniques to express them and develop your artistic language.

(Please note that just because you have found an artistic interest and a way to express it, it does not mean that you must do only one thing for the rest of your life. It is the downfall of creativity to repeat and paint the same way over and over again. Instead, allow your interests to drive your creativity. Let it be the starting point, venture out and discover it from various angles and ways of expressing it. But also be mindful that as we grow our interests can change and as they change, we must remain honest and respond accordingly such that our artistic language can also grow.)

Have questions? Don’t hesitate to message me! I can tailor a class to your needs :)

Some of the topics I cover in lessons are as follows:

- Basic Concepts of Music Notation

My years in as a hired drummer in the music business has taught me how to work in this environment and how you land the gig of your dreams.

I have been a professional drummer for 15 years. I have recorded several albums and played with different bands such as Deathstars, Reach, Truckfighters, Adrenaline Rush, Palace etc . I also have been touring and playing festivals with loads of bands all over the world. My goal has always been to show that the drummer should not always just be in back. The drummer should be as fun to watch and hear play as the rest of the band. So if you are interested in learning to play drums, the showmanship behind it and how you work in a band and projects. Please contact me and I will make sure that you learn all these important parts of the showbiz that many forget about

Hello, dear friends!
Music is a unique language that helps us express our feelings and emotions. In my lessons, we will learn to “speak” this language through drumming.

Depending on your level here is what we’ll focus on:
• Learning drum rudiments — the “alphabet” of the drumming language
• Improving your technique, so your movements are confident and precise
• Developing improvisation, so you can freely create and express yourself behind the drum kit

And of course, we’ll play your favorite songs! This will make learning not only useful but also incredibly fun.

Together we start from the beginning where many drummers start from.
Motor skills, maintaining rhythm and learning to sense musical numbers.

Drumming is basically determining how fast/slow a song is played, and when the transitions come.
Learning to sense these things is the beginning of the first lessons.

We start immediately on the drum kit, and you automatically acquire the knowledge while you play.

Music is a universal language, and learning it can bring creativity, discipline, and joy into your life. I offer personalized lessons in piano, percussion, and music theory for students of all ages and levels. Beginners will learn the fundamentals of rhythm, melody, and notation, while more advanced students can focus on technique, performance, and interpretation. I emphasize both technical precision and musical expression, helping students become confident performers and thoughtful musicians. For percussion, I cover rhythm training, ensemble playing, and instrument technique; for piano, we explore scales, chords, and repertoire; for theory, I provide a strong foundation in harmony, reading, and analysis. My lessons are interactive and enjoyable, designed to spark curiosity and love for music while also achieving measurable progress. Whether you are preparing for an exam, learning for fun, or aiming for professional development, I will help you grow as a musician step by step.

I am Lukas, a trained jazz drummer with a broad musical background. During my studies, I delved into various styles, including jazz, pop/rock, funk, Latin, and hard rock. I bring this versatility to my lessons.

In my teaching practice, the focus is on relaxed playing technique, timing (microtiming), sound, groove, coordination, musicality, and improvisation. I start as much as possible from the student's interests, supplemented by an extensive range of methods, books, and self-developed practice material.
The lessons take place in my little drum studio on Appelstraat, near the Roma in Antwerp!

During my training, I was taught by, among others, Toni Vitacollona, Jonas Burgwinkel, Teun Verbruggen, Jan-Kris Vinken, Wouter Van Tornhout, Jan De Haas, Lieven Venken, Achim Bill, and Steven Cassiers.

In addition to teaching, I am active as a musician with Cézanne, Naomi Celis, APOKALYPSO, and Away! Away!
