Drum lessons by an experienced performer and teacher

From 39 £ /h

Obtaining the knowledge of drumming trough personalised ways and exciting energy.
You would be given a spectrum of knowledge - from basics to complicated stuff, from written out music to improvisation. We will cover technique and playing in different styles, but we will mainly work on firm control and give freedom to your own expression.
Listening to examples of music we try to imitate and learning about them is an important part, so we will spend time on that too.
I will also teach and provide you with reading material, meaning notes, organised in music pieces.

I have experiences with teaching students from 6 to 40 years of age, so different social interactions are not a problem.

About Me

I'm a drummer and a song writer from Slovenia. Music has been my passion for 20 years now. As a person, I am talkative, thoughtful and sociable. After many experiences as a performer and teacher, I recently graduated from Jazz music studies at Prins Clause Conservatoire in Groningen.
Sharing the knowledge of playing the drums, the ways I obtained it and discussion on all the aspects of music is something I find both important and pleasurable. Teaching has been in my family and it was always approached with love towards the topic and clarity in giving the knowledge to others.
One of the most important things I learned trough years of teaching students from 6 to 40 years of age is adjustability to both student as an individual and lesson. I don't insist on methods as if they apply to everyone in the same way, but rather find way to share the most crucial knowledge trough comparisons and an all together fun time.

The way I teach actually depends entirely on the student. The way I explain the concepts, plan and structure the lessons and approach each subject all depends on whether the student is a beginner, intermediate or advanced, and whether he or she has some experience on the subject.

Each student has different needs and different abilities. It's just a matter of getting to know the student, in order to identify both the weaknesses and strengths on which to work.

Hi! I'm Marcello and I come from Italy. I've been playing the drums for more than half of my life and a few years ago I moved to the Netherlands to pursue a music education and to establish myself in The Hague as a professional musician and teacher. I graduated from the Royal Conservatoire and minored in classical percussion in the summer of 2022 and I am currently studying drums and composition in the Master programme.
I usually focus on the technical aspects of music, but the lesson plan will vary according to the student's needs. We can get as serious about playing as you wish! So I advise you to have an idea of what you want to play but, if that's not the case, I'll be happy to share my passion and my favourite artists with you!

Who are the lessons for?
Our saxophone lessons are for everyone from 8 years and older. The saxophone is ergonomic and easy to produce your first notes, so you will soon enjoy your first lessons.

Whether you are a beginner looking to learn the basics, an advanced player looking to improve your technique, or someone looking to improvise and make music together, lessons are tailored to meet your needs!

Sax lessons!
Invented by Adolphe Sax, the saxophone is a unique instrument that combines the warm and powerful sounds of brass and woodwinds. Thanks to its versatility, the saxophone feels at home in all kinds of music styles, from blues to classical.

We play the music you like, while also working on important basic skills, good technique and even exploring improvisation. Fun and creativity are key!

In addition, there is the possibility, once you have learned something, to join our saxophone group. Making music together is not only fun, but also inspiring!

Hi, I'm Heewon from South Korea. I'm a graduate of the HKU Conservatory's Jazz & Pop department, majoring in jazz piano, though alongside that, I've continued studying classical piano, as well as composition and arranging.

For over 6 years, I've taught students ranging from young children (6 to 7 years old) to adults in their 50s and beyond, covering genres from jazz and pop to classical and new age, along with music theory. I've also performed extensively in both South Korea and the Netherlands, at festivals, jazz bars, and government related events, playing not only jazz standards but my own arrangements and original compositions.

I believe music is something we simply can't live without today. It surrounds us everywhere we go, woven into daily life. That's exactly why piano makes such a wonderful hobby: it's approachable, deeply rewarding, and a great way to relieve stress. How amazing is it to be able to play the music that lives in your head?

My lessons are open to all skill levels and are held in English or basic Dutch. Before we begin, I always start with a consultation to understand what you want out of piano, your goals, interests, and preferred style, and build lessons and materials around that.

Tailor made lessons suited to your level and goals:
- For beginners, we'll cover basic piano technique, fundamental music theory, and sheet music reading.
- For intermediate and advanced students, lessons are shaped around your specific needs and wishes (for example improvisation, accompaniment, arranging, and more).

All learning materials and documents are prepared by me.

Learn to play bass to your favorite music. It's fun to do because you immediately feel what you're doing and that as a bassist you provide swing in the band. Are you already in a band? Then develop your own game to the Next Level. If you want to learn to think up your own bass parts, you've come to the right place.

Learn guitar with me! I'm an experienced educator and a musician that has struggled himself with learning music, and working on the field. We can work from any level that you might be and make music and guitar learning fun and interesting! As a working musician for many years I have experience in a lot of music genres and styles, so I think we can explore anything that you're interested in, in a very deep and detailed level!

As a piano teacher, I ensure that you gain a solid technical foundation and learn to read sheet music, but also that you can enjoy making music right from the start. I would love to hear which direction you want to take—classical, pop, jazz—and then we will set course for your goal together.

Hi! I am a classically trained pianist and am graduating from the Utrecht Conservatory this year. My passion for the piano started at a young age: I started taking lessons when I was seven, after convincing my parents to enroll me.

From the age of thirteen, I started assisting my teacher and was already teaching younger students, from children as young as 3 to teenagers. As a result, I have built up extensive experience in teaching various ages and levels.

As a teacher, I am enthusiastic, patient, and have a positive attitude. My lessons are structured, but also fun and motivating, so that students can develop at their own pace while simultaneously enjoying playing.

I offer piano lessons for beginners and intermediate students in a friendly and supportive environment. I studied at the Conservatory of Bologna in Italy, where I focused on classical piano, music theory, rhythm, ear training, chamber music, and solo performance. I have a special passion for Baroque and Classical music, but I am happy to adapt the lessons to each student’s interests and goals. In my lessons, we can work on piano technique, reading music, interpretation, rhythm, ear training, and basic music theory.

With me, you'll play real music from your very first lesson, not endless drills. I hold a doctorate in composition and music theory and a master's in piano performance, so I don't just show you what to play, I explain why it works. You'll feel the difference: once you understand what you're doing, you practise faster and play with more conviction.

My lessons usually start with technique, then we get into your repertoire, classical, pop, jazz, or film music, whatever you're drawn to. If you're taking voice lessons, I'll accompany you live at the piano.

I teach everyone: from your very first note to conservatory level, from kids to adults picking it up for the first time. I taught at university level for years and now judge international music competitions so I also know exactly how to prepare you for Music exams and auditions because I know what the jury is listening for. I teach in English, having trained and performed across three continents for over 30 years and I bring all of that into every lesson.

Lets start working !
