Educational projects (past)

For years I wrote the music for Jazz By Kids, a project for kids organized by Jazz Maastricht (NL). Pedagogue Marijke Greweldinger wrote a different kids story every year and I got to make the accompanying "soundtrack" that was performed live on stage every performance. It was so much fun trying to approach the themes with the fantasy of a little kid. Too bad the project doesn't exist anymore but I look back on it with fond memories!

I also taught at Muziekodroom (Hasselt). Apart from piano lessons I gave initiation courses for the youngest.
At Acaton (Tongeren) en Ga! voor Kunst (Genk) I taught piano lessons and band coaching. And then there were some loose projects like Rock 'n Roll Camp for Girls (Trix, Antwerp) and Playtime (Bokrijk, Hasselt).
There's so much talent around and it excites me time and time again to see it develop.
I have a special interest in the psychological aspect of education and love reading about stage fright, fear of failure, perfectionism, artistic freedom, improvisation,...  All this literature inspires me to keep growing as a human being, musician and teacher.

For questions about lessons, (band)coaching, workshops, lectures,... please
