    Drums and Percussion lessons (graduate teacher)

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    My teaching method is based on two points:

    Orality and reading.
    Indeed, music being a language, it is spoken and written.
    It has a grammar, a conjugation, the aim of which is simply to be able to express oneself freely.

    The many training courses I have followed, as well as my experience as a musician, allow me to offer teaching adapted to everyone and to all desires: Pop-Jazz or Classical music theory.

    My journey :

    I have been a music teacher for 14 years, and graduated in 2015 with a DEM in drums and music theory.

    After giving a few private lessons here and there, it was in 2010 that I really started teaching, doing replacements in conservatories.
    For 7 years, I have been working in a private school, L'École de Musique de Chatou, where I teach more than 40 students.

    At the same time, I play for different projects, in electro, in jazz, but also for events.

    About Me

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    Hello !
    Musician since childhood, I started playing drums at the Vanves Conservatory, accompanied by Xavier Vercken and Florian Bellecourt. I discovered the pleasure of group music and improvisation. I then decided to finish my training at the CRD in Noisiel, and I obtained my battery DEM there.
    These years of learning allowed me to develop my musical personality by diversifying my "speech" through different musical styles (jazz, hip hop, rock, Latin music, traditional percussion), which I was able to put into practice through different projects, live and in the studio.

    It was through this journey that I understood that the drums are an instrument like any other, that we are a musician, and that we too can express ourselves.
    And it has become the center of my pedagogy: to give you the method and the tools which will allow you to reach your objectives, to play as you want, to develop your own musical personality.

    Music is a language, and like any language, it puts a grammar, codes and a discourse at the service of communication; with me you will learn to communicate, exchange and thus be FREE with your instrument.

    Education

I give private piano lessons for all levels and styles (classical, jazz, Latin, new age, pop...), as well as music theory, composition and improvisation lessons. My lessons are distinguished by their dynamics, practical approach and adaptation to the needs and interests of the student. The lessons (live or online) take place in my studio next to the Maastunnel, where I have a premium stage piano and a top-quality webcam setup.

    Trombone lessons for all levels, ages, and abilities.
    Trombone lessons are focused on working at basic techniques along with carefully selected repertoire in accordance with students’ aims and preferences. In his teaching, Konstantin specializes mainly in classical trombone repertoire, and could also give a piece of advice about jazz and commercial playing. To get the most out of studying with Konstantin it is recommended not only to practice the instrument and to attend lessons consistently but also to be a real fan of trombone and orchestral music. It is a highly-rewarding process, and the more one invests in their education, the more joy they obtain from listening to music and playing the trombone.

    Learn to play Jazz on the Guitar (classical, electric or acoustic)

    Saxophone lessons for all levels! (Online or at your place)
    With beginner saxophone students, we will first work on proper instrument holding and posture. Then, before blowing into the saxophone, we will practice long-tone exercises using the mouthpiece. Once comfortable with these fundamentals, we will start producing sound from the instrument and learning the notes. We will focus on long-tone exercises to develop control and consistency. We gradually start incorporating short exercises or simple melodies as the student progresses. Learning and progressing on an instrument mostly depends on the student's dedication and practice habits. If you love music and commit time to it, you can reach a good level in a short period!
