Drums and percussions lessons
Hi folks, have you always wanted to play the drums and learn more about music? Now is your chance!
Who I am
My name is Federica Bernabei, and I am a drum teacher. I graduated in Jazz and Percussion Drums at the Licinio Refice Conservatory of Music in Italy (Bachelor’s degree). I continued my musical studies in Rotterdam, obtaining a Master of Music at Codarts.
Today, I am attending a Ph.D. in Music and Musicology, specialization in Performance, at the University of Évora (Pt), where I am carrying on a thesis concerning the rhythmic crossover between drums and tabla encountering rhythmic and melodic elements that can be translated into Jazz and Mpb music.
Thanks to my teaching experience over the years, I have realized that I like sharing my knowledge with others and working in a group.
I firmly believe that sharing is essential for everyone’s education. During my teaching career, I have gained (and still have) experience teaching adults and children, helping them understand how music and drums work in a fun and enthusiastic way.
I speak Italian, English, and Spanish.

What to expect from the lessons
The study plan will be rigorously customized according to the student’s needs.
During the lessons, we will address various topics in analysis, such as the writing of drum music, to give you the right tools to transcribe and play the songs you would like to learn. Thus, I love to introduce you to both sides of music: the theoretical and the practical.
Our first lesson will introduce you directly to playing the whole drumset and teach you the essential basic drum techniques, primary rhythms, and fills so that you can play your favorite songs!!
We will learn different musical genres, such as Jazz, Brazilian, Pop, Blues, Rock, and Funk, adapting to your needs.
We will also study the pitfalls of learning technical and rhythmic exercises: everything, step by step.
Drum lessons for children
Playfully, children learn to read and play notes, starting from rhythmic games played on different instruments, allowing the child to develop and stimulate her creativity.
