From silky R&B tracks and spacey synth jams to old-timey piano covers and soulful improvisations, Elijah’s talent spans genres and styles, yet all of his music is imbued with a single unifying element: Impressionism. For Elijah, that means striving to make every moment evoke powerful emotional reactions in his listener, while remaining open to pensive wandering.

Throughout this course, Elijah takes students through his process of composing, improvising, and producing this deeply touching music, as well his modular approach to practicing which ensures a constant flow of new ideas and patterns.
