One of the reasons that I love to play the violin is because I love the learning process which is involved. How can I improve? make changes to my own playing? What must be done to get different sounds and colors from the violin?

This has led me in recent years to become more and more involved in teaching. I am currently on faculty at the Royal Conservatory of The Netherlands in The Hague, but I have also given masterclasses and coachings to students at the Oslo conservatory, Netherlands Youth Orchestra and Netherlands Youth String Orchestra, the conservatory in Namur, the School for Strings in New York, and more.

Many of my teaching workshops have centered around my Berio project – for more information on that, please visit the Berio page on my site.
