Education

About

Elijah is a university-educated music professional with extensive experience for both teaching and musical performance. Since completing his Bachelor of Music degree at Concordia University in 2010, he has played music across each province in Canada and in more than 20 countries around the world. Elijah teaches private and group classes to students in the Montreal area. His greatest strength is his ability to bring out the inner creativity of each student and transform the learning process of music into a real pleasure! Elijah Has studied drum-set extensively with master teachers such as Bruce Becker (L.A.) Chris Mcann, Wali Muhammad, Max Sansalone and Jacob Kaye. Each one of these teachers has instilled in him different areas of knowledge that he now uses in his private lessons. Most importantly, Elijah understands the process of learning and patiently helps his students understand the most effective way to achieve their goals. Elijah is also great with teaching children.

What You'll Learn

Each lesson is tailored to the unique needs and interests of the student, so no one lesson is exactly the same. I believe that learning music should be fun and students need to feel like what they are learning will help them reach their goals. Therefore, students never receive material that doesn’t directly help them in their unique musical journey.

Learning drums with Elijah is an absolute joy. He's not just a teacher; he's a mentor who genuinely cares about his students. From the moment you walk into his studio, you feel welcomed and at ease. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it easy to focus and enjoy the learning process.

Elijah has a knack for making complex rhythms and techniques seem simple. His explanations are clear and easy to follow, and he always finds a way to make each lesson fun and engaging. His patience is truly remarkable, and he never hesitates to offer encouragement and support. Whether you're just starting out or looking to hone your skills, Elijah's expertise and friendly approach make every lesson a positive experience.

I lost my motivation to learn guitar in 2022 after feeling I wasn't making much progress and I didn't play with it for 1 year. Last summer in 2023, I took a chance and contacted Musiprof and tried with Elijah. It almost been 1 year since, I am still learning guitar with Elijah and I feel like I am making better progress. The studio he receives me for our class is close to where I live, so it is convenient for me. He is patient and understanding. When I don't feel good, he takes few minutes to listen to me before we begin the class, so it helps me be cheer up and not be distracted. I also took interest in drumming, he takes few moments to show me and let me try. I have been having fun with the classes and it been helping me distract from the stuff going on my personal life. I attended a small concert consisting of Musiprof students and they sounded great. I recommend Musiprof and Elijah Baker for anyone wanting to learning music.

J'adore mes cours de batterie avec Elijah! Il me fait choisir des musiques que j'aime et les adapte à mon niveau débutant. C'est vraiment motivant de jouer ses morceaux préférés ! Je suis toujours aussi contente d'aller à mes cours :)
