About Me

Teaching music has always been part of my musical activity since I am 15. It's a great way of continuously relearn and inspire others that want to learn more about music.
Along my academical path I have found teachers that inspired me and others that unfortunately did not. As a student I clearly felt the difference when a teacher was really there sharing and helping and that made me a good student.
My high school studies were Classical percussion and along that I was teaching kids from the local village Orchestra in Portugal (my hometown). After that I decided move to Rotterdam to study at Codarts, classical percussion and later in the World Music department where I focused more in Latin and Brazilian percussion and Vibraphone. Also during my Bachelor I did two years of music education studies where I had an Internship teaching two individual students and giving Samba Batucada workshops for students from the Havo Muziek en Dans Rotterdam, and at Dalton Den Haag.

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,

Instruments: Cajon with hands or brushes, conga, Pandeiro, tamborim, agogo, chekere, udu, pop percussion and way more. I am looking forward to meet you.

Music is a complement of the man, and that was clear from the start, this experience gave me value as a person, and that translated into my music. The vast knowledge of many styles, instruments and great experience allows Bart to transparently, correctly and simply pass his message to his students, working with them to draw their own path and understand how to reach their objective, in a way which you are always looking forward to the next lesson.'

Methods used: Dante Agostini For percussion: Introduction to different oriental rhythms Initiation in technique of Bendir, Darbouka, Daff, Riqq And for more advanced students I teach the different forms of oriental music and we work on pieces of repertoire of oriental music (metrics: 4/4 3/4 6/8 10/8 9/8 7/4 ......)
