1-on-1 Brazilian Drumming Lessons
Discover the logic of samba — from the basics to a deep groove.
Lessons are tailored directly to your level.
I help amateurs who want to step into the fascinating world of Brazilian rhythms but fear they lack a musical background.
I also work with intermediate percussionists chasing an authentic Latin pulse and niche technical skills.
Learning happens in a safe, pressure-free atmosphere with a logical progression of exercises.
100% online flexibility
Learn from anywhere, on a schedule that fits your calendar.
We use the online format to focus entirely on your individual playing apparatus.
Original teaching method
Brazilian tradition framed as an ordered system.
Each exercise builds on the last, so you quickly progress and dissolve technical blocks for good.
No music-reading required to start
You'll first learn the material through ear, movement, and feeling the pulse.
If you want, I'll smoothly walk you into rhythmic notation along the way, so your solo practice gets easier.
Perfect preparation for ensemble playing
Online lessons refine aspects that never had time during group classes: neat technique, sense of rhythm, coordination.
This way, when you join a live drumming session, your play immediately fits better into the groove.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Do I need my own drum to start the first lesson?
No. To start out, your hands, a tabletop, or a basic practice pad with sticks are enough. We'll work through the first coordination exercises together and I'll advise which instrument best fits your preferences and budget. Don't buy anything blind!
I've never studied music and I can't read notation. Will I cope?
Yes, absolutely. In Brazilian music what matters most is a culture of listening and an internal pulse. We start through repetition and intuition. Over time, step by step, we'll introduce simple rhythmic notation — you'll see that reading rhythm is far more logical and simpler than it sounds.
How do percussion lessons over the internet technically work?
We meet on a video platform (Zoom / Google Meet). You only need a computer or phone with a camera and a stable internet connection. We make sure we can see each other's hands and instruments clearly. After every lesson you get clear guidance on what and how to practice on your own.
Will online lessons replace playing in a real batucada ensemble?
Let's be honest: nothing replaces the energy of 20 drums playing together in one room. Individual online lessons have a different job — they are your “technical lab”. In sterile conditions we eliminate mistakes that are impossible to spot in the roar of a section. I'll prepare you so that ensemble playing becomes pure pleasure, not a struggle to survive.
