Friedrich Wilhelm Zachow is believed to have studied under Johann Schelle after his family moved to Eilenburg. Schelle, already an esteemed German Baroque composer and cantor, is described as having taken on the musically talented Zachow as a student during this period. This instruction likely occurred in the late 1670s, before Zachow moved to Halle in 1684, and contributed to his early musical development alongside the training he received from his father.
