Drumming, Live Sound and Music Production Lessons.

From 26 £ /h

I specialise in drum lessons but I can also teach live sound and production lessons catering for all ages.

During lessons, we are able to go through any aspects of drumming (context, technique, groove studies, posture and ergonomics and much more).

In sound and production lessons this will be more theoretically tasked and be more talking based.

Folk or classical acoustic guitar.

The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation.

For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...).

For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...).

Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points:

-Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear
- Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords
- Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand
- Learning of different pieces of your choice
- Left hand control exercises, speed and precision
- Learning arpeggios
- Work around muscle memory
- Learning improvisation, musical play with others
- Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used
-Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results
-Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument
- Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone
-Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge
- Learn tablatures / tabs & in English.

Note :
- Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase.
- As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy.
- Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice.

THE TEACHER :
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

Turkish reed flute is an essential instrument of Turkish Classcial Music. It has a deep and dense culture dating from 13. century around. If you want to learn about how to perform it you first need a teacher educated by masters on this field. As of many teachers you can find online but you make sure that not every tutor meets with traditional style.
Solfege and method are inseperable parts of the lessons. So for beginners and intermediate students must follow a compotent tutor to learn about the way of classic form.

Since 2020: +2000 hours of classes, +160 students of all ages and levels, including at the Rock School Barbey in Bordeaux (2021-2024).

1) THE COURSES

After a 15-minute phone call, the first lesson lasts 1 hour 15 minutes + 15 minutes = 30 minutes free!

The following lessons last 1 hour and 15 minutes because 1 hour is too short for the lesson to be complete and enjoyable :)

My goal is to make you self-reliant while giving you as few lessons as possible.

Lessons take place in my home studio in Bordeaux or via video call using Google Meet and Listento (a high-quality, latency-free audio streaming plugin that I pay for for my students). I can also come to your home (+€10).

First lesson = Setting up and getting started with the software
After 3 lessons = You know the software and the basic concepts
After 5 lessons = You start to become independent**
After 10 lessons = You know how to produce a complete track and understand the basics of mixing and mastering** (10 lessons purchased = one lesson free)

**Provided you practice on your own!

2) THE TOOLS

In DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) production, you will need headphones and a computer with sufficient performance to create your music (feel free to ask me if you have any questions).

Whether using Ableton or other software (Logic Pro, Cubase, FL Studio...), the courses are aimed at beginners wishing to get started, intermediate users wishing to consolidate their skills, and advanced users wishing to refine their technique!

You will have access to a Google Drive containing everything you need to progress in computer music:

- Sample pack
- Classes
- Exercises
- Plugins
- Useful links

3) THE SUBJECTS

During the lessons, we will be able to cover the following topics:

- Installing Ableton Live 12
- Plugin installation
- Glossary and basics of home studio
- Rhythm and melody (audio and MIDI)
- Recording (synthesizers, instruments, vocals)
- Sampling
- Basics of music theory and harmony
- Arrangement and construction of a piece
- Sound synthesis and sound design
- Workflow (shortcuts, interface, tips)
- Analysis of your tastes and influences
- Mixing and mastering
- Music Marketing
- Computer Science

I'll still be reachable via WhatsApp while you're practicing on your end :)

Hii,
I’m a professional vocal coach specializing in Hindustani classical and Bollywood singing with Thumri, Ghazal, etc. With a strong background in vocal training, I bring professional expertise and a love for Indian music to each of my lessons. I focus on building a strong foundation in the essential techniques of Hindustani classical music, helping students develop breath control, pitch accuracy, and voice modulation—all essential elements that also enhance Hindustani Classical Music with Bollywood singing.

In my classes, students can expect a mix of traditional and modern teaching methods. I incorporate voice exercises, rhythmic drills, and raga practice to strengthen your musical skills, whether you're just starting or looking to refine your style. I also enjoy making the lessons interactive and fun, using familiar Bollywood songs to illustrate classical techniques, so students can relate the skills they’re learning to their favorite music. Each lesson is tailored to fit the student’s unique goals, whether you aim to perform, deepen your musical knowledge, or simply enjoy singing with confidence.

My approach is relaxed and encouraging, creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable with their vocal journey.

I’m here to help you find your voice—let’s make some music together!

Want to learn to play the drums?
Easy as 1,2,3.
With me you will learn the basics, play along with your favorite music and build your own grooves.
Preferably in my studio, but it can also be at yours.

I have been behind the kit for 15 years in different styles (rock, jazz, reggae, afrobeat).

If you have any questions, please feel free to send a message :)

For artists, songwriters, and creatives ready to shape their vision.

Are you working on your own songs and feeling stuck?
Do you have a head full of ideas but struggle to bring them together into one clear artistic story?
Or maybe you’ve already created something you're proud of, but you want to take it further — deeper, bolder, more you.

I'm here to help you connect the dots.

As a singer, songwriter, producer and creative director working on my own debut album, I know how overwhelming the creative process can feel. There’s so much more to being an artist than just making music. Your sound, your visuals, your story, your live performance — it’s all connected. That’s where I come in.

In our sessions, we can explore whatever part of your creative world needs support:

🎵 Songwriting – melody, lyrics, structure, harmony
🎧 Production Direction – from early sketches to refined ideas
🌙 Artistic Identity – visual storytelling, aesthetics, branding
🎤 Performance & Presence – connecting with your audience
💡 Creative Strategy – organizing ideas and unlocking new ones
🌀 Intuitive Guidance – sometimes you just need a sounding board

You don’t have to do this alone.

Whether you're a beginner or a more advanced artist, we’ll work with what’s already inside you — your instincts, your taste, your questions. Sessions are fully personalized and can be a one-time deep dive or part of a longer creative journey together.

Online sessions are held using Muse Sessions, which allows us to listen, view, and interact with your music software in real time.

My approach is fully tailored to your goals. Sessions typically focus on finishing tracks, developing ideas, improving arrangement and mixdowns, sound design, and building a more confident and efficient creative workflow.

We’ll work directly with your own music wherever possible, using it as the basis for focused, practical progress. We can also analyse and deconstruct released tracks that inspire you, breaking down structure, sound choices, and production techniques so you can apply them to your own work.

Alongside this, I’m happy to share insight from my own projects and releases, offering perspective on creative decision-making, workflow, and long-term development as an artist. For those interested in sound design, sessions can cover synthesis, samplers, effects, routing, modular and practical ways to get the most out of the tools you already use, whether software or hardware.

I also offer guidance on the wider industry side of music, including preparing music for release, getting signed, developing an artistic identity, self-releasing, content creation, and composing for film and TV.

These sessions are best suited to committed beginners through to intermediate producers who want clear feedback, direction, and momentum in their work.

Do you have a song that you've written that you believe could be amazing? Do you already have some skills using a DAW like Logic, Ableton, Pro Tools or Garage band? Would you like a new set of 'arrangers/producers ears' to redefine your song, reimagine it or simply improve what you have to bring it up to the best possible level?

I have worked in these areas where the boundary between composition, production and arrangement becomes blurred. The truth is they are inseparable to the end result and imagination is everything. So is an extra set of ears! Thats were I can help.

Which instrument to use ? (bass guitar or bass synth), which keys sound and where to place it in the mix. Where to set that high pass filter on the vocal? How much saturation does the snare need?

Musical arrangement and instrumentation
Production techniques, in the context of mixing
How best to use harmony in string quartets, or choirs or horn sections
How to place the guitar? Does it even need one?

I can give creative input and advise having written and composed more than 150 songs and recorded approximately 100+. Having run a UK based record label for almost 20 years.

If using a studio DAW, my experience is mainly with LogicPro although most creative 'arrangement' decisions do not need to be technical knob twiddling.

My background as a musician is vocals and guitars but as an arranger I've worked with everything.

Each lesson is tailored to the pace and interest of the student. I am a classically trained singer and multi-instrumentalist. I take a holistic whole body-mind approach when training the voice. I like to reference neuroscience studies in vocal development and the mechanisms of effective learning. I will keep the lesson relaxed, fun and the right amount of challenging. I look forward to gently guiding you on your musical journey

Do you dream of making your own beats and sounds and compose them into your own electronic dance music track, but don't know where to start? Or maybe you already made your bangers but want to perform them live for your fans?Don't worry, I got you covered!

For the past 10 years I have been using Ableton Live for sound design and composition to pursue my own style.
For me the inspiration was in breakcore, dub, psytrance, hardcore, tekno, classical music, punk, metal, ... but for you it can be something completely different. Maybe you know exactly what you want to achieve. If not, we can explore together where the adventure of music production will take you.

It doesn't matter if you are just starting from scratch, or if you already learned some things but want to dive deeper into the software. For Advanced students, I also teach modular audio synthesis with the free software VCV Rack.

Learning percussion and any melodic instruments can be a hassle to tackle. I, Juan, am currently majoring in Music at the Jackson State University music department. I will apply the same things I learned in my lessons here and apply them to my own lessons and go into depth on breaking down fundamentals and exercises to better your musicianship. No matter the skill lesson, there will always be a way to grow the knowledge you have on your current instrument. I teach snare drum, both concert and marching styles. I teach piano at an intermediate to advanced level as well. As well as snare drum, I also play 4-mallet percussion along with playing timpani.
