Drums lessons for all ages/levels in Kreuzberg/ Neukolln

Hi, I am Elijah and I work as a professional drum teacher and drummer session.

Over the past 15 years of experience I have recorded albums with various artists and performed live on tour in Europe. I graduated in Jazz Drums and Percussions from the Licinio Refice Conservatory of Music. And I have learned from great drummers different skills and techniques in master classes and seminars. (Berklee College or Music, Saint Louis College of Music etc.).

Effective learning path, based on your musical interests.
Learn the basics of a groove, develop creativity on the drumset or perfect a technique. The goal is to have fun, it's easier to learn that way :)
Rock Pop Jazz

I would be glad to share my knowledge with you.

About Me

I am a multi-instrumentalist musician and drum teacher originally from Rome who lives and works in Berlin. In my 15-year career I have ventured in a wide variety of musical genres between Modern Jazz, Psychedelic Pop Rock and Bass Music.
I have recorded for several artists and played many shows at festivals and venues throughout Europe.

In my experience as a teacher I have worked in several music schools in Rome ( Yamaha Music School, Sound Good music school,six strings) and in own studio.
To see the progress of my students is an enriching experience for me on a human level.

I believe the best way to learn is by having fun, and the best way to teach is by leading by example. So I have a lot of fun teaching :)

Music is energy with unlimited access, and it is great to be part of it.

Beside music I had some working experiences as graphic designer and technical assistant in digital fabrication laboratories.
I love nature with all its beautiful processes and variety, and I love and support as I can any initiative that contributes to a more vibrant and united world in its diversity.

Guitar lessons (Acoustic and Electric) and music composition
The guitar is undoubtedly one of the most popular instruments of the modern age. It is so versatile and used in many genres ranging from classical music to Death Metal and even Electronic Music. I will teach you the basics of playing the guitar, and I'll spice it up later with my experience in composition and songwriting. We will learn by example through the famous songs that shaped our understanding of the guitar. Whether you prefer singer-songwriter-style songs, or thrash metal we'll get there together. I will teach mainly using the guitar tablature format, we can do sheet music which is generally unneeded for anything besides classical, but I will need to refresh my music sheet reading skills as I haven't had to read any in the last 10 years.

Improve your musical creativity with personalised classes from multi-Instrumentalist singer and improviser
Do you wish to learn writing music from scratch or improve your composition skills without a necessity of music theory knowledge? Do you want to produce your own music but struggle with the technical aspects? I'm a multi-instrumentalist singer, songwriter and performer and I offer applied classes on writing/arranging/producing pieces of music using various instruments of your choice, including your computer. I use a 'learning by creating' method, where we focus and go deeper on certain aspects depending on your needs on your music creation process. I like to use personalised methods that matches your desires, rather than following a certain curriculum. The goal is to help you gain or improve awareness on how a piece of music is written and learn various ways to begin and finalise a writing process. During our practices, I will naturally be transferring my knowledge on certain aspects such as: - Rhythm - Form - Dynamics - Texture - Melody making - Singing - Guitar playing - Placing words into music/making music around words - Improvisation as a compositional tool - Integration of Ableton Live into creative process - Recording - Mixing During the sessions, we'll either write together from scratch or work on your own material and tackle the issues of constructing a piece of music. Please contact me if interested, then we will have a first video call where we get to meet each other and discuss where you stand and your wishes. This way I can create a personalised program that suits your level and speaks to your area of interest.

Piano Lessons for Improvisational Playing + Playing by Ear
Throughout the years I have developed piano skills with which I can play all sorts of compositions by ear as well as improvise variations based on the main structure of a piece. In this course I will show you the practical and theoretical basics to improvise as well as learn pieces on the piano without note sheets. It will not be a "classical music lesson" although I will reference classical music and talk about music theory, music history and the physics of sound a lot. It won't have a "syllabus" either on the basis that every person needs different sets of skills to improve upon. It will be more of a discussion/dialogue accompanying the piano where we will expand on our ideas about music. What You'll Learn: -How to play Melodies, Chords, Songs. -Different Chord Shapes, Intervals, Scales etc. -Basic to Intermediate Music Theory: -Pitch -Modes -Harmony vs. Melody -Consonance vs. Dissonance -Chords & Chord Progressions -Rhythm & Meter -Timbre: Dynamics & Articulation I don't have any demonstration material up on this page so you can write to me if you want to meet up where I can demonstrate you my piano skills.

Sean
Musical Composition Lessons in Berlin - in English
Greetings! If you've come across this page, allow me to introduce myself. I'm Sean, a composer from Melbourne, Australia, now based in Berlin. I am currently freelancing all around Europe and have had my music played by some of the preeminent ensembles and contemporary music players. I primarily work with contemporary 'new' music, focusing on finding the expressive qualities of instruments and players, sometimes with edgy, earthy results that can verge on abrasive; though I am open to a wide variety of aesthetics. My practice is notated mostly, but I have experience with electroacoustic and non-traditional forms of musical composition also, as well as improvisation. Much of my teaching style comes down to creating feedback loops with my students. I am firm with my students to ensure I get their full potential. Of course, if a student comes to me with a particular area of interest and/or issue that is my main focus. More general students should expect to focus on building up their aesthetics and discovering new ways of using the tools at their disposal. I like to invest time in my students, including introducing them to connections in the professional sphere to assist in their trajectory as composers in the real world. This does not mean my students need to have aspirations to be professional composers necessarily, but it is crucial for 'emerging' voices to hear their music live - even in reading sessions and practice rooms with performers - to get the full experience of the cycle of composing. I am familiar with the software Sibelius, but prefer for my students to write by hand - at least for drafts - as this gives them the most agency and discipline in composing the music they seek to. I am looking to open my teaching roster to diligent young composers and aspiring amateurs. Limited spots remain, so please feel free to contact me to secure a spot. I offer all my lessons in English, with the possibility to integrate German into them as well. - SQ :) Note: please don't request free lessons; this is not appropriate.

Federico
Piano Lessons, Composition, Harmony and Improvisation
Studying music requires developing various skills and techniques, such as practicing an instrument, understanding harmony, or reading sheet music. The piano is one of the few instruments that allows you to work on these aspects—and many more—all at the same time! My name is Federico, and I am a jazz pianist. With me, you can explore the endless possibilities the piano has to offer, focusing on any topic you wish to delve into and any musical genre that resonates with you. Together, we’ll work on instrument mastery, sheet music reading, chord construction, improvisation, composition, and arrangement. And that’s just the beginning!

learn Hindustani Classical Music (vocal) and Bhajans
Our rich and traditional Indian Music is deeply rooted in spirituality. Needless to say, being involved with music brings enormous amount of peace, contentment, and bliss to our lives. I am a vocalist and a music practitioner. I am a disciple of Vidushi Sanhita Nandi ji of the Kirana Gharana. I have completed my masters in Classical Music (Vocal) and aim to spread the knowledge gained by my Gurus among those who are sincere and/or passionate for learning Hindustani Classical Music and light music. The focus of my classes are aimed at the systematic development and aesthetic appeal of Ragas. For students willing to learn music seriously but with little exposure to learning, I begin with various vocal exercises for pitch accuracy and voice culture. Thereafter, I begin the work of Raga development and presentation. I also teach Bhajans for those who wish to learn 'Sugam Sangeet' (light music.)
