Introduction: Whether you want to play heavy metal or jazz, I can give you the tools you need to reach your goals. Lessons are organized and customized to fit your needs. I can give lessons in English, Spanish or French. I've been playing drums for the last 23 years, touring and recording in Europe for the last 10 years, and teaching drums for the last 7 years. I graduated from two schools, one for modern music (rock, metal, reggae etc..) and a Bachelor degree in jazz. My main purpose is to give the students the tools to learn and get better, but also to teach them how to create new ways to learn on their own outside of their lessons. Thinking of music as a language, I can teach you how to memorize and repeat a text word for word, but more importantly, I teach you how to create words and to be able to say whatever you want. I focus on each individual student's needs. Whether you want to learn the basics of rock without reading or need to prepare a jazz big band audition, I'll be able to help you reach your goal. I do everything I can to make each lesson a very positive experience, being encouraging and funny, while making sure you are learning what you need to learn. I'm fluent in English, Spanish and French.

It has been a great experience learning how to play the drums with Mathieu. He uses the style of music that I like to listen to as a tool to help me develop the techniques i need to learn. He's been teaching me how to read music, and how to structure my practice so that I'm able to maximize my learning during every practice session. Most importantly, Mathieu has been helping me improve my technical abilities on the drum while keeping things fun.  I have noticed a good deal of improvement in my playing. I will definitely be sticking around with Mathieu for the long run.

Mathieu is a great mentor. Even for his first class, he told me some really important skills which I didn't notice before. He's really an easygoing person and a professional player. I have learnt some skills before, but Mathieu can tell you what you need and what is best for you. He's definitely wonderful.

Mathieu is an exceptional drum instructor with an extensive background in jazz, rock, etc. He is a very friendly and easy going person and very experienced as a professional drum player, composer and teacher. His lessons are very thorough, detailed and fun at the same time. I've already noticed a great deal of improvement in my drum playing abilities in a very short time and am excited to see where it goes from here. Highly recommend!

Mathieu is an excellent teacher and a really personable guy. I have been playing drums for years, but wanted to work on my range. Even after our first session I noticed my sticking improved dramatically. He's acutely aware of all the little errors, one can make, in form and technique and is very patient in helping to correct them. Each lesson is tailored specific to the student and assigns homework that is fun and challenging, and goes at the pace the student learns. I'm so glad I chose him as a teacher and I can't wait for my next lesson!
