Many people are coming to Berlin to become musicians or DJs. Some of them have natural talent and others have to work hard to master the techniques. Being a musician of any kind (from jazz to techno) it requires inspiration, practice and commitment. Some people might think that studying music might be waste of time, nevertheless knowing the music theory and how to compose music is crucial. 

There are plenty of music school in Berlin which can help you to expand your knowledge and practical skills.Jazzschule offers wide range of courses, from private lessons to group courses, which are taught by various musicians, including Claus Rückbeil, director of the school. You can experience the taste of the Wild West in the East of Berlin on Viktoriastraße 10. 

Another place to profound your jazz skills might be Hanns Eisler Academy of Music which offers training in classical performance, conducting, composition, vocal coaching, instrumentation and arranging, voice, jazz and popular music.
