Teaching Experience in detail in Drums Classes
Fundamentals of Drumming: Learn the basics that can get you started on the drum kit! I am a drum instructor and a freelance musician. Trinity certified player. If you are willing to get started over the kit, you've come to the right place. You may be a beginner/fresher or an experienced player, I can help you grow and improve your drumming. I teach music production for beginners as well. My teaching approach is simple. One thing at a time! Each session will consist of 1/2 topics of 30/40 mins each. I believe, if you learn the basics well, and if you feel the music, anyone can play the kit. For me it's all about the experience once you sit on the kit. Theory is important but knowing and feeling the music is even more crucial. It nearly take 3 months for a fresher to finish my basic course. Taking online sessions for both, so you need access to any virtual portal like skype or google duo. There is no age limit, I teach all ages. Few requirements: A drum pad, pair of drum sticks and your dedication to learn.

"Pratik's an awesome teacher and drummer, and what's really cool is that he loves drumming, which inspires us to learn too."

"Learning drums with Pratikhas been such a blast!! He’s super chill, which makes every session feel more like hanging out with a friend, than a lesson. He’s got the patience of a saint never rushes you but somehow keeps you perfectly on track with your progress. Plus, he knows just how to push you without it ever feeling overwhelming. Honestly, he’s not just an amazing teacher but a friend who truly wants to see you shine. If you’re thinking about picking up the drums, he’s your guy! "

"I've been learning drums from Pratik sir for more than 9months and I didn't even realise how these 9 months passed. He is one of the best drums instructor I've ever learnt from. He keeps classes very engaging and interesting so that you never get bored during the class. Overall it was a wonderful experience learning from him. "

"I was looking for a good tutor for my 7 year old son. Met Pratik on UrbanPro. There were a couple of more tutors but Pratik sounded more promising. My son is not talkative, but he now shares a good bond with Pratik. My son is now even ready to move to his place for training ;) Remote sessions for an art form were a challenge. Pratik handled it very well. He managed to visit us from Delhi. He continuously checks progress and provides feedback regularly. I appreciate his patience and way of teaching. "
Sreedhar Reddy

"My son is learning drums under the guidance of Pratik for the last one year. I tried several tutors before him but didn't work out well. Its challenge dealing with younger kids as their attention span can be short. Pratik is very good at handling younger kids. He is patient at same time very professional in his approach to teaching. He keeps sending regular updates on the progress, takes feedback and puts his best effort so my kid is enjoying what he is doing. Its a very delicate balance to ensure not create any pressure as kids will lose interest and at same time to keep progressing and enjoying the play. Pratik is good at doing the right amount of balance and the sessions are intense and they are fun at same time. "

"An organised person. Motivating. He was patient during the entire duration of my tenure even though I was bad at it . Quite accommodating with regard to time and also doesn't hesitate to point out if one is impunctual. His way of teaching is adaptive as per the age group and also experience level of the learner so not monotonous at all. "

Hello Rukmini, I hope everything is fine at your end!
I think it depends on your membership. There are few facilities like you can contact students directly if you have Platinum membership or Gold too, for that case.
But if you're not in position to upgrade, which is normal and absolutely ok, you can stick to your basic membership and still message the inquiries when you receive them. It's just you'll have to text message them until you get their number.
Hope this helps, take care.
Regards,
Pratik

Hey Komal, I hope everything is well at your end.
I'd like to give you few suggestions that helped me with the technical difficulties in the past.
- You can contact the UrbanPro team via mail and mention this problem.
- You can add email or your WhatsApp number so that the inquires can get in touch with you through that mode.
- These days social media works great too, you can mention your social handles.
I know you might be knowing all these already, but if you've missed o forgotten, this could be a gentle reminder.
Let me know if things work out for you. Looking forward!
Good luck with your teachings, I might get in touch with you sometime soon. I love learning languages, especially asian languages.
Take care!
Regards,
Pratik
Answered on 25/10/2019 Learn Music
Hey Thomas. That's a fascinating question, and I understand why you are getting confused. I am sure many amazing teachers over here have explained you the difference pretty well, but I would like to add some more clarity to it. Hindustani music is based on Raga's whereas Carnatic music is based on Kriti's. Sarangi is an instrument which is primarily used in Hindustani music whereas Violin is used majorly in Carnatic music. So when it's said "Classical music" it itself comprises of both of them. And I am sorry, won't be able to suggest a Pandit or Ustaad in your locality but am sure anyone from our community will guide you with that requirement of yours. Thank you for your time and patience. Let me know if there are any other confusions or questions which you would like to clear, would be happy to help.
