Drum-kit, Piano, Percussion, Music theory Tutoring

Hello, my name is Beibei, I have 10 years experience of performing as concert percussionist working with orchestras, schools, universities and curating my own project as well as extensive teaching experience, from large group workshops to 1:1 tuition.

My aim is to make sure each of my pupils are well versed in all musical genres from classical to contemporary. We will have a focus on a certain style and work by playing along to bands and recordings to help improve the listening side of music. We will also work on technical exercises to ensure the growth as a great musician. I can also offer examinations, working towards graded exams can be useful for many people to get an understanding of progress and achievement when moving up to the next level.
Lessons will be fun and there will be lots of chance for creativity and improvisation if desired. My approach to teaching drums, percussion and piano is focused on developing a strong understanding of rhythm, phrase, scales in general and applying it on playing.

I will customise my teaching approach to your needs, depending on the level of your playing and your musical desires.
I'll give my best in each lesson to guide you step-by-step into becoming a better musician/drummer.

You can learn about:
- Groove
- Technique
- Drum sounds and percussion for different genres/applications
- Controlling dynamics between different limbs
- Reading complex musical notations
- Composing and improvisation
- Piano and music theory
- Body percussion
And much more...

Starting from beginner, up to experienced drummers.

Gregorio
Drum Teacher, How to be a good band member, Musicianship and listening skills.
Drumming is a powerful experience for all ages and music levels even if you play a melodic instrument. I have designed a learning programme suitable for a wide variety of music needs and aims. I have a long experience teaching, performing, recording and producing music that have let me explore melodic instruments like keyboards, guitar, and bass. It has given to me a broad musical approach to the drums with a ensemble situation perspective. This class is for drummers who want to be part of a music project or want to improve their ensemble music skils. All the levels. Children from 7 to 80 welcome.

Drum Lessons - Home Lessons (hackney) or in a studio (Manor House).
Hi! I'm Christina, I've been playing drums for well over a decade and have toured the UK, Europe and America. I teach in my studio located in Manor House but I'm also happy to travel for home lessons. Learn your favourite songs while developing your musicality and ear so you can eventually be independent and learn music on your own! ✓ SONGS ✓ TECHNIQUE ✓ SYLES ✓ READING ✓ IMPROVISING

How to play drums: drums technique, snare technique, notation reading, coordination, difference between music styles, musicality, solfeggio
In my classes we'll analyse different aspects of drumming: the base of rhythms, drums technique , coordination, musicality, theory, drums notation reading, the difference between music styles, how to play in a band, the role of a drummer in music, ear training.

Giorgia
Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any level
I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

Piano course from beginner to intermediate - advanced level
These classes are designed for students with different knowledge of piano, from beginner to intermediate - advanced. Normally I use the Faber Piano Adventures method, useful for all ages and levels, but another method can be chosen depending on the learning style of each student. We start with pre-reading, introduction to the staff and reading of scores. You will learn in a fun and effective way how to read music. Also, comprehensively, you will learn about music theory and ear training. Additionally, you are free to propose songs of your liking, to learn them along with the method.

Learn how to play Piano (or Keyboard) at your own pace.
Have you ever wanted to learn to play the piano/keyboard but don't know where to start? Are you regretting giving up learning the piano/keyboard when you were younger? Do you feel that your current progress in playing the piano/keyboard is being held back? If the answer to any of these questions is yes then please contact me. I always try to ensure that each individual student's interests are catered for. If you want to play for pleasure then I will encourage you to learn pieces that you like. Alternatively, if you are more interested in achievement, in terms of taking graded exams, then this is the pathway that we will take.
