Drums with Clement L.

Teaching means the world to me. Music has been transmitted from generation to generation during the whole history of humanity and to keep music alive, we need people to be fully dedicated to transmitting what they learned to keep music growing, and to empower people to believe in themselves and that they can be apart of this amazing journey! First of all, I play because it's fun, and when I teach, I want the student to have as much fun as I do. I love to create a safe learning space where you can feel comfortable to make mistakes, learn about them, laugh about them, and get better every time. I do put an important value on work ethic ( not that I will want you to practice 10 hours a day ), but it is very important to understand that a good practice routine is necessary to get better and to have fun. We will learn many genres and of course, focus on what YOU want to learn. I played in many bands from Rock to HipHop and Jazz, so we can cover a lot of different genres and styles of playing Like I said earlier, my teaching is very centered on playing, and less centered on books because to me the best way to learn music is to play by ear and to learn how to listen. I highly value playing over songs to get to develop your drumming skills, going to concerts to study the greats, and ultimately having the student to play in a band. I will teach you basics and rudiments, but very quickly I will show you how to use those in a creative and fun way, so that your appetite for learning more keeps growing. I would love to meet you and get you closer to your drum dreams !
