His expertise is in motivation, improvisation and finding the pleasure in making music. He has affinity with the “Bijdehandjes” and “Klavierleeuwen” piano methods who are particularly written for children of early ages who do not posses the ability yet to write and to read. Also, he has a lot of experience working individually with adults and children in the Autism Spectrum.
