Marimba and Percussion Lessons

Hi there! I'm Adam, a percussionist, composer and concert marimba specialist.

Here are my qualifications and experience:

• Master of Music (Research, Percussion) and a BA (1st Class Hons) in percussion from UWA
• Academic Staff (Percussion) at WAAPA and former Lecturer at UWA
• Performed and presented as a soloist over 50 masterclasses and concerts in 12 countries since 2017
• Current PhD candidate at WAAPA/ECU City

Sound interested? I have a studio in Subiaco, THE STUDIO By Adam Tan, where I run percussion lessons to suit any of the following objectives:

• Suit all skill levels and backgrounds (Primary/secondary school, university, mature student etc)
• Marimba and snare drum technique and performance
• 5 octave concert marimba, vibraphone, concert snare drum available and drum set available
• Orchestral, band and ensemble techniques
• Percussion examination and audition preparation for school, orchestras and professional positions

I have been teaching at my studio for over 10 years, have had over 150+ students pass through my studio programs, and usually teach Mon-Thu and Sat. I speak English as a first language and can also speak Mandarin and Cantonese to a reasonable degree if required.

My lesson rate is adjusted every year, so please enquire to find out more information below:

PLEASE NOTE: As slots at my studio are filling up fast now, my studio also has my partner Machi Ishida available as a percussion tutor. She is a qualified Japanese marimba soloist who is a 2x world champion of concert marimba (World Marimba Competition 2022, Swiss Competition 2018) and is an established professional recording artist. Machi speaks English and can also teach in her native Japanese language, as well as French if required.
