Overview:
Hello, my name is Antoine and playing the drums is my passion! Having graduated from the Berklee College of Music in Boston with my music diploma in Performance, I had the privilege to study with the top musicians in the world. I have performed all over the world aboard 2 Holland America Line cruise ships, playing nightly with a show band. I have also played all around Boston with Grooversity, an Afro-Brazilian drumming group. Now, I wish to share my knowledge and experience with you!
EXPERIENCE
My teaching experience dates back to France (2008) when I started teaching music theory to children between the ages of 8-14. I had a class of about 10 or 15 kids and we worked on solfege, theory, and singing. During that time I was also teaching drums in the same school and privately in my house in Normandy, France. I emphasized two keys points of success to my students: always come to your lessons and always put in the time to do your practicing. Although I did not teach during my time at Berklee, I was still exchanging a lot of information and drum tricks with my fellow classmates.
METHODS USED
I teach musical skills through the use of contemporary music while enforcing traditional concepts. I love to share the joy of playing drums with students of any level or age! For beginning students who are children, I start with some simple rhythmic concepts and some easy sight reading. When they have established some fundamentals on the set, I can teach them how to play a song that they love or different grooves that they will enjoy playing. For adult students, I go through what they need to improve their playing or help them on their musical journey. If they are a beginner, I teach them the fundamentals of rhythm, sight reading, styles, coordination and soloing.
LESSON STYLE
I encourage my students to set short as well as long term goals so that they can have a timetable of tangible results as motivators to get to the next level. I always take into consideration the amount of time that we have together (number of lessons per month) in order to reach these goals so I am able to keep everything on track. Every lesson is going to be structured with a few fundamental topics (snare technique, sight reading, styles, grooves, and soloing). Every topic will be covered at regular intervals so that both the student and I can see their improvement from lesson to lesson. I also highly encourage students to record or videotape their lesson in order to be able to practice better and see their improvement.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.

Ok

Are you sure that's your only availability? The more availability you easier it will be to arrange a teacher for you.
