Drum kit and percussion. Learning how to play and perform all styles on the Drum kit and Percussion.
I am a recent graduate from the Royal Academy of Music where I studied percussion for 4 years, and obtained my Bachelor of Music degree. I have vast experience of performing in many different situations and changing genres, 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 styles from rock and pop to swing and funk to Afro-Cuban and the cha - cha. 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 Drummer. 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.

Learn how to play the drums (Beginner/Nat 5/Higher/Advanced Higher) - all the way from how to hold a stick, to advice on performing live
Even though it may not always seem like it, percussive elements and instruments play a vital role in enhancing the vitality and dynamism of a piece of music. They bring a unique and captivating element to the overall composition, adding depth and texture that can't be achieved with other instruments alone.
When it comes to learning percussion, I offer comprehensive online lessons that cover everything from the very basics, such as how to hold a drumstick correctly, to more advanced techniques that will help you develop your musical skills to a higher level. With my guidance, you can learn the art of improvisation and how to effectively interact with the music, allowing you to create your own unique rhythms and beats that perfectly complement the melody.
Furthermore, my lessons will equip you with the necessary skills to confidently perform in live situations. Whether it's playing in a band, participating in jam sessions, or performing on stage, I will provide you with the knowledge and techniques to excel in any musical setting. You will learn how to maintain a steady tempo, synchronise with other musicians, and deliver captivating drum solos.
Drumming is undeniably one of the most enjoyable instruments to learn. While it may require patience and dedication at times, the rewards are truly worth it. As you progress in your drumming journey, you will experience the joy of creating infectious rhythms, the thrill of performing in front of an audience, and the satisfaction of mastering a versatile and expressive instrument.

Drum Lessons (Online and in person for children and adults)
Do you want to build a strong foundation and learn how to apply your knowledge to be able to play in a group setting or learn purely for leisure? I offer drumming lessons catered to your needs and pace.
I have played in many different settings in South Africa and Hong Kong and have worked with many different musicians. Having the ability to adapt to different people and ways of doing things would have been a challenge without technical, theory and listening skills. These are all part of the learning process and so they are worked into the lessons accordingly.
Together we can determine goals and get you playing comfortably and confidently. We will cover everything from basics to being able to work out parts to your favourite songs.
I am extremely patient and ready to help you excel. The most important thing is that you have fun doing it. Yes, there will be some challenges, but rest assured that nobody you see performing got there instantly. It all takes time, dedication and passion.

Guillaume
Drummer 10 years of experience gives drum lessons in Montpellier (at home / at my place of residence)
I have been playing drums for 12 years and have participated in many concerts, through several music groups. This experience allows me today to develop my own teaching method aimed at developing your practice of the drums through the pleasure of the instrument and improvisation.
It is possible for me to receive you at home, in my musical studio equipped with an acoustic drum kit, an upright piano, guitars, percussion... or to come to your place, if you have a drum kit.

Music lessons: drums, percussion, rhythmic music theory...
Hello,
I offer drums lessons in a warm place or at your home. Come and discover the battery differently. My mission is to help you develop your own identity on the instrument. I offer you a fun approach that focuses on the pleasure of playing.
Having followed training and courses throughout my life (conservatory, schools ...), I am passionate and dedicated to sharing all of my experience with you. I practice in many music groups and other structures (schools, associations ...).
With more than 20 years of experience in drums and more than 10 years in percussion, I teach many musical genres (jazz through Latin music, pop, hip hop, rock, hard, punk, metal ..) , the double pedal, notions of music theory, rhythmic reading. Possibility of taking percussion lessons (darbuka, bongos, African djembe, congas, jaw harp, dhol).
The programs are directly inspired by internationally recognized methods, thus being able to adapt to the needs, levels and requirements of each individual. I travel but I also receive in a room with equipment available (any age and level of practice are allowed, from initialization to professionals).
A different approach to music lessons:
My teaching is resolutely modern. Classes are a moment of musical and human sharing where error is used as a positive experience to move forward.
We work by oral transmission to complete the scores. We use onomatopoeia to quickly develop musical and felt play, rather than just reading and playing.
So ... Tempted?
No excuse, I give you couses from Monday to Sunday from 8 am to 11 pm. FROM child (from 5 years old) to senior, and from beginner to professional.
Registration possible all year round.

See you soon,
