Badabum Atelier

Music Lessons

LEARN WITH JOY

The BADABUM Atelier learning space stands for pedagogically sound, contemporary, and student-centered music education. We value collaborative music-making and the exchange of experiences among musicians and enthusiasts. The BADABUM learning environment is a place where joyful, active, and self-directed learning can happen together and from each other – a place where people can meet each other mindfully. It's about the groove, not just the technique, yet one doesn't exclude the other. Playing pleasure, technique, and reading sheet music are joyfully intertwined. An inspiring atmosphere in a professionally equipped music school invites you to discover your music. We create and enjoy good music together.

The reading of sheet music is derived joyfully from the auditory (listening experience) and vocal/tactile (speaking/singing/clapping) to the visual (reading) and iconic (writing notes).

It is assumed that humans want to express themselves, that there is something unique and unheard-of within them, and they are in search of discovering this SELF. This desire, this urge, this longing is the driving force behind making music and artistic creation. The teacher's task is to promote the individuality of the person on their journey to themselves, to their sound, to their creativity, and to their expression. In doing so, the teacher should reflect on their own musicality, their own motivation, see themselves as a partner of the music student, and develop ideas on how to creatively convey their musical sensitivity. Teaching and learning are understood as a creative process that involves all parties equally.

For us, teaching means: accompanying people, being on the journey together, and constantly developing new ideas during the teaching process.

DRUM LESSONS

CREATIVE DRUM LESSONS

The BADABUM Atelier understands rhythmic/musical learning processes as a motor, cognitive, emotional, social, and artistic process that students and teachers experience together.

This process is never complete and continues throughout one's life. The BADABUM Atelier accompanies all individuals involved on their musical journey through life. (THE SOCIAL IMPACT OF MUSIC!)

We focus on the groove rather than just technique, yet one doesn't exclude the other. Joy in playing, technique, and sheet music reading are joyfully intertwined in drum lessons.

Sheet music reading is joyfully derived from the auditory (listening experience) and the vocal/tactile (speaking/singing/clapping) to the visual (reading) and iconic (writing notes).

Drum lessons are offered in both individual and group settings.

The BADABUM Atelier offers flexible management of individual and group lessons. This means that, depending on the learning situation and in consultation with the caregivers and teachers, the needs of the students can be quickly addressed. This allows the student to enjoy the motivation of a group or focus on their individual learning processes in one-on-one lessons.

The BADABUM Atelier seeks close contact with caregivers and supports the students' support system.

The younger the children are, the better group learning is. However, children, teenagers, and adults also have fun and achieve great learning success when they enjoy lessons in pairs or small groups.

The lessons are suitable for children starting at the age of 4, teenagers, adults, and seniors.

 

A trial lesson is free of charge.

CHILDREN'S RHYTHM GROUP

von 4-9 Jahren

The children's rhythm groups take place every Thursday afternoon from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. in the BADABUM studio.

Children are encouraged to experience music holistically through coordinated movement, dancing, singing, speaking, playing, and experimenting in a playful manner.

On the drums, with drums, and on percussion instruments, children joyfully explore different musical worlds. Spatial orientation, ear training, coordination, flexibility, enjoyment in playing, and social skills are specifically nurtured. Learning in a group is of central importance at BADABUM Atelier.

Music is understood as a personality-forming, integrating, social, connecting, and meaningful activity. Through this, children learn to listen to themselves and to others.

This offering is ideal for acquiring foundational competencies, preparing for later transitions to harmony instruments that require developed rhythm skills.

The offer is aimed at children between the ages of 4 and 9.

A trial lesson is free of charge.

MUSIC PRODUCTION

CREATE YOUR OWN MUSIC

Do you ever have melodies in your head? Have you ever wondered how your favorite musician creates their music and why it sounds so cohesive and harmonious? We can show you, because it's not as difficult as you might think. To make music, you no longer need to read sheet music and play instruments for a long time. Of course, it's helpful, but simply put, all you need to produce music is your laptop and music software. Music is not just the sound of an instrument; it's YOUR sound. Dive with us into the depths of mysterious sounds, your favorite songs, and melodies, and create your own music in the BADABUM music studio. Join us for recording sessions, experiment with different sounds and instruments, and explore the boundless world of modern music production. Benefit from our network, passionate musicians, and our professional music studio. Whether you've always wanted to create a fresh hip-hop beat, your own song, or band recordings, or if you want to release your music as a DJ, we're here to help. 

 

The "Music Production" workshop provides you with extensive knowledge and plenty of inspiration in all these areas. The workshop is suitable for anyone interested in music and will be tailored to your needs and prior knowledge.
