My name is Barbara, and I am excited to offer you personalised Cajon lessons! Are Drums a bit too loud for you? Or maybe even too much to carry around? Then Cajon is the perfect instrument for you!

As an experienced percussionist, I've tailored my teaching methods to blend technical skill with creative expression. My aim is to inspire and guide you in mastering this unique instrument.

My Cajon lessons are suitable for students of all ages, designed to be both enjoyable and educational. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, I focus on the specific techniques and rhythms essential for Cajon playing.

In our sessions, we'll delve into various aspects of the Cajon, from basic beats to complex rhythms, suited to different musical styles. I'll also introduce you to music theory fundamentals, enhancing your overall musical understanding.

I am happy to teach both online or in-person around the Zürich area!

Let's make some music together! 😊

Embark on a musical adventure with my drum lessons, specifically designed for children! Dive into the exhilarating world of rhythm as your child learns the art of drumming. In these lessons, we focus exclusively on drums, allowing your child to fully immerse in the dynamics and energy of this powerful instrument.

Your child will master various hand techniques and rhythm patterns, essential for becoming a skilled drummer. We'll explore the fundamentals of music theory and notation, making it easy for them to understand and follow the language of music. Each lesson is an opportunity for your child to discover different styles and techniques associated with drumming, from rock beats to jazz rhythms.

I place a strong emphasis on creativity and self-expression, encouraging each student to find their unique drumming style. Collaborative activities will also be a part of our lessons, teaching your child the importance of teamwork in music.

Whether your child is picking up drumsticks for the first time or looking to enhance their existing skills, my lessons are customized to their level and interests. I strive to create a supportive and engaging environment where your child can confidently grow as a drummer.

Join my drum lessons and watch your child develop not just as a musician, but as a creative and collaborative individual. Let's start this rhythmic journey together and unlock your child's potential behind the drum set!

There are few things in life as fun and liberating as playing the drums! This instrument is at once basic and primitive, as well as highly complex - a wonderful exercise for body and mind!

I teach drums in a fun, laid-back and casual way, always structuring my lessons around the students' needs and tastes. Please note: I specifically do not teach with notations or scores of any sort:

My method of teaching is based on playing by ear, with emphasis on the music and the joy in playing it, rather than the theory. Notation is great and theory is important - I studied these myself; however, I have found that learning an instrument by ear is a far deeper, enjoyable and progressive way to get to know your instrument. I also place importance on technique and memorization, again tailoring these to the needs and wishes of the student. My methods have proven very successful and I'm confident your playing will improve quickly!

I teach both children and adults, teenagers and grandparents :-)

Maybe you already play, but would like some help improving your improvisational skills? Or perhaps you are a complete beginner and just want to find out, if this instrument is for you? Get in touch!

Some background to my instruments:

Piano: I initially taught myself the piano and took lessons later on. My main or favourite styles on the piano are: Blues & Boogie Woogie, Traditional Jazz, Rock n' Roll, Pop and Soul. I love many forms of Classical music as well.

Guitar: I taught myself guitar as a kid and play both acoustic and electric. My favourite styles on the guitar are, on the one hand, heavy Rock, Metal and Punk, and on the other gentle Jazz, Blues and ballads :-)

Drums: this became my main gigging instrument between '10 and '20. I mostly focus on funky grooves, hard Rock or Metal, Pop, Jazz, Swing; some rudiments, lots of grooves :-)
