Drumming lessons Cork 2.39

Out calls welcomed . Music lessons by Oliver Loughnan. I have been teaching for twenty years and have had a large amount of experience in the studio as a session musician.I also studied ,and achieved grade 8 drumming in 2000. I have attended many drum clinics and spent time in Bath studying under Virgil Donati, Thomas Lang, Marco Minnemann. I have spent time in Los Angeles studying with Steve Smith .Every day is an opportunity to learn and discover new musical phrases and approaches. Even though the Internet can be a great learning tool, i feel that having a private tutor is essential to get the best results. In one of the many books about Beethoven , is the story of what one of his pupils, Ferdinand Ries says about Beethoven’s teaching:When Beethoven gave me a lesson he was, I might say, unusually patient. Thus he often would have me repeat a single number ten or more times. In the Variations in F major, Opus 34, I was obliged to repeat almost the entire final Adagio variation seventeen times; and even then he was not satisfied with the expression in the small cadenza, though I thought I played it as well as he did. That day I had well-nigh a two hour lesson. When I left out something in a passage, a note or a skip, which in many cases he wished to have specially emphasized, or struck a wrong key, he seldom said anything; yet when I was at fault with regard to the expression, the crescendo or matters of that kind, or in the character of the piece, he would grow angry. Mistakes of the other kind, he said were due to chance; but these last resulted from want of knowledge, feeling or attention. He himself often made mistakes of the first kind, even playing in public.”
