What are your activities for Art4U?

Piano teacher

What are your other musical activities?

Playing in bands, performing, recording and producing my own bands.

What instruments do you play?

Piano/Keys is my main instrument, but I also play the drums and guitar. Everything left handed. :) Singing is also something I like to do.

Who is your favorite composer/artist/band?

Bob Dylan. That might be a crazy choice for a piano teacher, but I always enjoy his songwriting.

What is the most special performance you have given?

Performing with your own band is always special and one particular performance with an old band of mine at the Mundial festival in Tilburg was a lot of fun, because that band was very nice and Tilburg is my home city. We did not expect to be there at all and if the audience also goes along completely, it is special. Playing in Paradiso was also a highlight.
