Drums lessons for all ages/levels in Kreuzberg/ Neukolln

From 34 £ /h

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.

Drums, as with bass guitar are the backbone of any good song, and the foundation upon which the music is built. Despite not being as famous as lead vocals or lead guitar. Drums in my opinion is much more fun, at all levels of performance.

I will teach you how to play the drums, how to fit the style to the genre and we will learn by practice by breaking down the famous classics, and explain what part drums played to make these classics so good.

We will use my electronic drumset, which is not as good as the real thing but is definitely good for starters. There are ways you can practice at home without a drumset as well. And we can expand later and rent a studio room, where I can jam with you on the guitar even!

Through time I have found out that starting by playing songs chosen by the student and creating exercises to practice that came out from the drums of that song is a very good way to learn how to play the instrument. Also keeps things interesting, since music is always the focus. I can help to choose the songs, but the student is always who decides which songs to play. This way, lessons become 100% personalized!

I have +10 years of experience as a teacher, and I'm an active musician in the Berlin modern jazz, creative music and improvised music scenes.
Obtained my bachelor's degree in the Manuel de Falla Music Conservatory in Buenos Aires (ARG) and the European Jazz Master degree at NTNU Trondheim, RMC Copenhagen and JIB Berlin.

Let me teach you to write your own songs, learn any song by ear, create your own style or begin your journey into the world of music and playing the piano. My method is based on learning music from listening, perception and creativity. My classes are extremely practical and adaptable to the needs and interests of the student, from piano applied to songwriting or the understanding of musical language and harmony, to the preparation of different repertoires and the writing of your own songs.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Stuck? I can help! If you know what you want your music to do (where your artistic North Star is guiding you), I can help you get more mileage out of your musical ideas. If you don't, I can help you articulate your aesthetic so you don't get lost as often. Through the analysis of great music, the composition of miniatures, and feedback on your current projects, you’ll both increase your technical fluency and simultaneously learn to love and develop your unique voice.

I am a Professional Conservatory graduate with experience performing in string quartets and orchestras. I am also a Sound Engineer and Music Producer, which allows me to offer a broad musical perspective beyond instrumental training.

Whether you want to start from scratch, prepare for exams, improve your technique, develop your ear, or deepen your understanding of music theory, I can help you achieve your goals.

Lessons may include:

• Technique and posture
• Intonation and ear training
• Music reading and rhythm
• Musical expression and interpretation
• Music theory

Every student learns differently, so I adapt my teaching approach, repertoire, and lesson structure to suit individual needs and objectives. My aim is to help you build strong musical skills, gain confidence, and most importantly, enjoy the process of learning and making music.
