He studied with his father (piano, violin, cello and contrabass) and with the Hamburg cantor Christian Friedrich Gottlieb Schwencke. In 1819, he abandoned his career as a concert virtuoso because of the nerve disease of his right hand and he started to compose and teach. In the same year, he co-founded and led the Gesellschaft der Freunde des religiösen Gesangs (later the Hamburger Singakademie). He also co-founded the Hamburger Tonkünstlervereins.
