Overview:

Music has been my passion my whole life. I love to be able to share my gift with other musicians onstage and my experiences with my students. I am a drummer and producer from Paris (France) and I just moved here. After years touring in Europe and Africa, playing TV shows and doing drum clinics alongside some of the best drummers (Aaron Spears, Brian Frasier Moore, Damien Schmitt..) I am very happy to have finally moved to LA for a new exciting challenge and chapter of life. Over the years - and in addition of my own experience - I’ve been taking private lessons with famous and incredible drummers such as Thomas Lang, Gregg Bissonette, Aaron Spears, Damien Schmitt.. And I’m here to share this precious knowledge with you! Let’s share our passion for drums and music together!

EXPERIENCE

I've been teaching for more than 10 years in France. I did physical and online classes, because people asked me to.. because I love it! It's amazing to be able to share my passion about music with people of every age, level and musical background. I love to see my students improve and I always support the best I can do all along the way. It can be either for your pleasure and passion or in order to become a professional, I will give you the right tips to get there. But with fun, always! The skills I am going to teach you will be always music related. It will be applied to a musical context and adapted to your needs and preferences. I will give you all the tools you need so you can be comfortable in any kind of situation, from playing in a band, to record in a studio, to be on stage and more. Over the years I’ve been taking private lessons with famous and incredible drummers such as Thomas Lang, Gregg Bissonette, Aaron Spears, Damien Schmitt.. And I’m here to share this precious knowledge with you!

METHODS USED

For beginning students as well as more confirmed ones, I always teach exercices in a musical context. It's important to know how to play but it's even more important to know when to use the right skills at the right time. I teach independance, rythms, grooves, polyvalence, time and more in order to make you a better musician who can adapt to the different situations you may find yourself in. How my classes work, I basically listen to your questions and demands if you have some. I show and work with you on some exercises (with a click first!). Then include it in a musical context with different songs. We will always keep in mind we are here to play music and have fun! I can adapt to your needs but also drive you in case you need it. I'll also teach you a lot about methodology and the best way to improve yourself behind the instrument.. and more!

LESSON STYLE

I love to learn and I love to teach. The more I learn the more I want to share it! I love to help the students to improve and see their progress with time. It's always a pleasure sharing with them and a great challenge to keep them curious and motivated. To the students, I'll help you to settle your goals and develop your skills, but most importantly your ears, your musical culture and your understanding for music. No matter if you are a beginner or a more advanced player I'm here to guide you and help you in your progress!

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.
