Drum Lessons from a teacher with 17 years teaching experience

One to one lessons should always be about you, the student. Everything that gets covered in your lessons will reflect your goals, dreams and ambitions - not mine! Whether you want to work towards grade exams, jamming in a band with friends, performing on stage or just playing for fun, I’m here to get you there.

Being a great educator is about helping the student develop the tools to teach themselves - no matter what age or ability. I will teach you the skills, based on my knowledge and experience, so you are able to learn all your favourite songs quickly and effectively. While my approach is goal oriented, there is a strong emphasis on making sure each lesson is fun, exciting and engaging. That’s the point of music in the first place!

I appreciate that my approach is not traditional and isn’t for everybody.

About Me

Hi, I’m Chris! I am a drum teacher, entrepreneur and professional musician. Teaching music has been my main passion since I started my first classes in 2005. I have been building and running music schools since 2012 which I absolutely love, but I have always maintained a small group of private students, many of which have been with me for over 10 years. Recently a few of my long term students have gone off to university so I have a few slots available for passionate students who want to grow and develop real skills and proficiency. Whilst the drums are my main instrument I also teach guitar, bass, ukulele, piano and music production to an intermediate level.

Alongside my teaching I am also an active musician, having clocked over thousand gigs, built a social media following of 50k followers and released music with multiple bands. I have always believed that the best teachers are the ones who are out there doing it, sharing their passion and building an audience doing what they love. Isn't that the dream?

I appreciate that my approach is not traditional and isn’t for everybody. This is why I’m happy to provide a first session to ensure compatibility before having to commit to regular lessons. I’m also happy to provide a full refund if at any point you are unhappy with the first set of lessons - no questions asked.

Beatbox - I teach you how to create rhythms and sounds, using only your voice and mouth as instruments!
Beatboxing is a relatively unknown discipline, even though it allows for an absolutely incredible musical variety: percussion, whistles, bass, special sounds straight out of an alien movie... our body is an instrument in itself, and learning beatbox is accessible to everyone! (Take a look at some beatboxer videos online, you'll be amazed!) I'll take you step by step, starting with easy and useful sounds, gradually moving towards impressive, fun sounds, or those of your choice. In addition, I practice with you and complete your knowledge of music theory and particularly rhythm when necessary. Don't hesitate to contact me to find out more about me, my methods, or beatboxing, see you soon! ;)

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. Contact me for more info on prices and formulas ... See you soon,

Jonathan
Battery: Classes / internships / training / face-to-face and distance coaching
I offer my services (lessons, internships, training, coaching) to drummers of all levels, all musical styles and all geographic areas The first contact consists above all in discussing the desires and the desired axes of progression. For people wishing to opt for the classic format courses: Different packages with sliding scale tariffs are offered. For people wishing to go further: Intensive training / internship with pedagogy and personalized coaching, in order to give a big boost in technique, music theory (optional), but also on other aspects of the modern musician (home studio, stage ...). This is for any motivated and available drummer, at least 17 years old, wishing / wishing to improve or even professionalize, to become intermittent (e) or teacher of drums, to integrate one or more semi-professional or professional groups, to be versatile or to excel in their favorite style (s) ... For people wishing to learn at their own pace, without any scheduling constraints: System of distance learning videos (which can be accompanied by scores), relating specific themes at the request of the pupil (can possibly replace lessons or be complementary to them) For people who have not yet decided to get started on this instrument: Discovery course over several hours or even several sessions, in order to discover the world of drums (For more details on all these formats, contact me) In all cases, I adapt to each student on: - the form: I am flexible and can use alternatives to music theory for those who are resistant to it (for example, by making a video of the summary of what was seen, by re-explaining orally and by re-performing the exercises on the drums)) - the background: I always adapt to the wishes of the student if he knows what he wants The most important thing for me is to make things seemingly complicated -> simple to understand and to execute, while making sure that I direct the student in the direction he wants to take, and that he takes fun to learn The goal is to regularly cover pieces of music in order to put the things learned in a purely musical context. Regardless of the course chosen, I accept all means of payment, as well as CESUs. The latter is very interesting for the employer (yourself) because it will allow him to benefit either from a tax reduction, or from a tax credit if it is not taxable (50% of the amount courses in the year deducted from taxes or credited in taxes the following year)
