Matthias Dahms
Matthias Dahms composer
Matthias started playing piano while he was little, yet without too much passion. Some years later his parents, who knew what he was really longing for, sent Matthias to drum classes and ever since changed his life. Soon Matthias adopted other percussive instruments lessons, i.e. vibraphone and marimba, along with amazing progress.
Long before he became a musician, Matthias Dahms showed an extraordinary sensibility. During this time, he kept on acquiring private lessons. In 1984 he broke the school record in the entrance exam and was enrolled by National University of Music Karlsruhe (Staatliche Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe).
The private lessons with American vibraphone specialist David Friedman continued for three years and after receiving the diploma from Karlsruhe, Matthias returned to Berlin and continued his studies at the University of the Arts in Berlin (Universität der Künste Berlin/UdKB).
By that time, Matthias had already started his international career as a soloist.
