DRUM LESSONS AND RHYTHMIC TRAINING FROM A PROFESSIONAL DRUMMER

I'm looking forward to working with you on getting your drumming to the next level.

Drum lessons from a full time professional touring drummer (since 1987).

I have been playing with many Jazz-Rock-World artists such as: Chick Corea, John Abercrombie, Jacob Collier, Dave Holland, Jeff Berlin, Larry Corryell, Wilko Johnson, Norman Wat-Roy, and many more. I'm also a composer and band leader since 1997 and been touring around the world in many of the main jazz and world festivals.

I like to tailor my teaching to the students level and needs but mostly focused on these areas:

1. Basic hand and feet technique
2. Jazz playing
3. Improvisation around the drums
4. Rhythmic training (with the art of the south indian vocal percussion - Konnakol)
5. Keeping motivated & inspired in the new world of social media

Every day, I strive to become a better musician and person, and I aim to transfer that passion to my students.

Music Lessons / Piano Lessons / Music Theory in Erpe-Mere (Burst)
I have been giving private music lessons and fortepiano for a long time. In addition to my classical music education in 2000, I obtained my bachelor's degree in psychopedagogy in 2006. This year I am interested in expanding my practice to include more students with special needs. I learned about the different ways music can help students with special needs. It helps them express their emotions and develop their memories and self-regulatory skills. It can show them strengths that they might not otherwise find during their school day. It can also open their eyes to a whole world of expression and beauty, enriching their lives. I find out what works for a particular student, what distracts them, what motivates them, what helps them focus and sometimes just learn how to relate to them. As a music teacher I enjoy working with the special needs students with autism and visual impairment
