Focussed lessons from a professional percussionist with 20+ years of teaching experience

I started learning Darbuka with him as my teacher, and over time he became much more than a teacher, he became a mentor and a true friend. From him, I not only learned music but also valuable life lessons on becoming the best version of myself. Learning under his guidance has been a truly inspiring journey.

I began learning Darbuka from the very basics. Although I was already a Tabla player but his teaching helped me develop a much deeper understanding of rhythm, technique, and musical expression.

He is an exceptionally talented musician and an outstanding teacher. What makes him truly special is his ability to adapt his teaching style to each student’s level, goals, and learning pace. His lessons are always well-structured, systematic, and punctual. He teaches with great patience, humility, and a calm, positive attitude that makes every class both enjoyable and motivating.

Every lesson with him has been a valuable learning experience. He pays close attention to detail, encourages his students to grow, and creates an environment where learning feels natural, inspiring, and rewarding. His passion for music is evident in everything he does, and it shines through in his teaching.

I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who wishes to learn percussion. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced musician, you will receive professional guidance, individual attention, and high-quality instruction. Learning from him has been an incredible experience, and I feel fortunate to be his student.

I’ve had the privilege of studying music with Suchet for over fifteen years, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He’s an exceptional musician with deep expertise in rhythmic structures, percussion, and both traditional and contemporary world music. His knowledge, and his intuitive way of teaching, has profoundly shaped how I approach music composition.

What makes him truly outstanding is his empathetic teaching style. He understands the challenges students face and helps them overcome them by tailoring his guidance to each learner’s needs. Beyond lessons, I’ve also collaborated with him on several national and international music projects, evolving from student to professional along the way. Throughout this journey, I’ve seen him train and mentor many young musicians who followed a similar path.

If you’re looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, experienced, and compassionate mentor, I can highly recommend Suchet without hesitation.
