Hello, my name is Mallyveen. I have been teaching private lessons and hand percussion for over twenty five years. I offer lessons at all skill levels, from total beginners to advanced. I am a global teacher with students across Worldwide. 

I have been playing over percussion instruments for over 25 years , including conga, bongos, djembe, cajon, talking drum, frame drums, maracas,timbales, and lots more. 

Here are additional specifics about the instruments I play and teach. 

Snare drum: Correct technique (traditional and matched grip) Fulcrum development, endurance, speed, accuracy and finger control methods. The rudiments, rhythmic notation (sight reading) Grade, middle, high school and college audition prep.

Advanced techniques offered on all instruments.

I offer practical user-friendly methods which focus on each student's needs. I work under a simple but effective approach that provides the best results. My goals are to make you better at the instrument you choose.  

I believe the best teachers are the ones who have experienced the things they teach and I bring a wealth of experience across a variety of percussion instruments. I design and tailor each of my students' lesson plans based on their current skill level. 

I use the emotional and energizing power of drumming to deliver unforgettable team building events across Germany, Europe and worldwide.Drumming helps develop listening skills, coordination, cooperation and patience. It gives students a sense of competence that raises self-esteem and confidence.

I focus on making my workshops as educational as possible, allowing your students to grow musically and channel their energy in a creative way.Thanking you in advance for your consideration and time in reading this email, I look forward to hearing from you soon.
