Hello and welcome to the Chatzis Music official website!
We offer comprehensive online and in-person learning for students of all ages, top-notch drums & percussion recordings, and live performances with professional musician & educator Costa Chatzis.
“I started learning drums with Costa in 2018 at the age of 48 with no background in music. I say to all my friends: ‘If he can teach me how to play, he can teach anyone.' He is a great instructor who is able to make you feel like you can learn anything. Since March we’ve been doing our lessons online and it has been a great experience. If you are looking for an instructor who is not only a great drummer, but also a great teacher, Costa is the person for you.”

about
Since he was little, Costa Chatzis has always been fascinated by music. From his mother's burned CDs of '90s pop staples to finding his dad's old records in the basement, rhythm & song have never leave his mind. Since then he has been streamed more than 30 million times, amassed almost twenty years behind the drumkit with over a decade of concert experience & eight years of professional instruction. Costa works with top-flight musicians & bands of many diverse styles while also writing & arranging material for studio sessions & live performances. He is a very personable, well-rounded musician which facilitates a fun learning experience for any pupil. Costa is also the proprietor of the annual 'Chatzis Award for Excellence in Music' granted to a promising young graduate from his alma mater. Check out Costa's work with Canadian icon Fred Eaglesmith, hip-hop artists Ollie & MER, jazz quartet Nosey Neighbour, and many more.
“My son started bucket drum lessons with Costa when he was 6 years old and has now made his way to the full drum kit. Costa is always welcoming, happy, excited to teach and a true professional. Even with the pandemic hitting, Costa did not miss a beat starting online drum lessons immediately which run very smoothly, always on time and are very convenient. I highly recommend Costa. Whether you are a beginner or continuing your musical journey, Costa is a wonderful, knowledgeable and patient instructor.”
