Orchestral Percussion and Drum Kit Tuition (all levels)

As a professional freelance percussionist, I provide high-quality tuition in both percussion and drum kit from complete beginner to advanced level.
Students can work through graded syllabuses, improve existing techniques, or learn the instrument(s) as a hobby. The lessons are designed around the student. My goal as a teacher is to keep students challenged, but not overwhelmed.

I can also assist students who wish to/are currently studying percussion/drum kit at the university/conservatoire level.

I am DBS checked, and previous practical opportunities and experiences have also enabled me to have a greater knowledge and understanding of Safeguarding, Child Protection, and Health and Safety Policies and Procedures in the work place.

About Me

I am a freelance Percussionist and Timpanist based in Manchester, United Kingdom. I completed the prestigious GRNCM Joint Course (2:1 and Distinction) at the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) and The University of Manchester between 2012-2016, before completing the MMus (Distinction) in 2017 at RNCM.
I currently teach Percussion, Drum Kit, Piano, and Music Theory in several schools in the North of England. In addition, I organize and facilitate educational music workshops in schools, and I provide private music tuition.

Education

MMus in Performance with Distinction (Royal Northern College of Music) 2017
GRNCM Joint Course Diploma with Distinction (Royal Northern College of Music) 2016
MusB (Hons) Joint Course with 2:1 (University of Manchester) 2015

Experience / Qualifications

I perform regularly as a Percussionist with a variety of different Orchestras, Ensembles, and Musical Theatre productions, including Northern Ballet, National Festival Orchestra, and Skaparis Collective. My theatre credits include; 'The Nico Project', directed by Sarah Frankcom and Maxine Peake (MIF and MIAF 2019), and 'Astley's Astounding Adventures', produced by Frazer Flintham (New Vic Theatre, 2018).
As a freelance musician, I provide high quality tuition in ABRSM Music Theory Grade 1-5 examinations. This class is designed around the student and starts preparation through the graded exam syllabus. As Grade 5 Music Theory is a compulsory examination for all ABRSM performance examinations past Grade 6, it is important that students start early and work alongside their instrumental studies. I can also assist with pre University/Conservatoire Music Theory studies (Grade 6-8). My goal is to keep students challenged, but not overwhelmed, and I assign homework and practice questions at the end of every session. I am DBS checked, and previous practical opportunities and experiences have also enabled me to have a greater knowledge and understanding of Safeguarding, Child Protection, and Health and Safety Policies and Procedures in the work place.

Beatbox - I teach you how to create rhythms and sounds, using only your voice and mouth as instruments!
Beatboxing is a relatively unknown discipline, even though it allows for an absolutely incredible musical variety: percussion, whistles, bass, special sounds straight out of an alien movie... our body is an instrument in itself, and learning beatbox is accessible to everyone! (Take a look at some beatboxer videos online, you'll be amazed!) I'll take you step by step, starting with easy and useful sounds, gradually moving towards impressive, fun sounds, or those of your choice. In addition, I practice with you and complete your knowledge of music theory and particularly rhythm when necessary. Don't hesitate to contact me to find out more about me, my methods, or beatboxing, see you soon! ;)

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,
