I wish all visitors of my website a happy, healthy and musical 2019! This year I hope to publish my violin method , together with co-author Jaap Kastelein. This violin-method is called "Violin World" (part 1) and will be published by Jaap Kastelein Educatieve Muziek & Media.Hal Leonard Europe will take care of the distribution. The method is highly innovative and written for players from 7 years and is suitable for both individual and group education. The volume of the method is supported by a website. On this website you can find MP3s with follow-up assignments and listening examples, films on which exercises are performed and PDFs of violin and piano accompaniments of all the recital pieces. The method provides a nice balance between auditory learning and sheet playing, between technical development and pleasure by playing, between learning from the traditional book and with the help of modern media.
First the method will be published in Dutch, but translations in English, German and French will follow soon!

De Haske France was also present , Frédéric Spannagel demonstrated a collection of books written by me, published by de Haske Hal Leonard.

I was asked to sit on the jury during the "épreuves de violon" of the music competition in Epinal, France.
http://www.concours-artistique-epinal.org/
This competition for very different orchestral instruments will be held from March 23 through April 20 2011 at the Théâtre Municipal Epinal (F) As many as 68 violinists between 6 and 33 years and a piano quintet by Conservatory students presented on Saturday, April 2 for jury and audience in the beautiful old auditorium and each received a jury assessment. After each level (according to the French system), the jury reports were formally presented to the candidates on the stage of the auditorium, often accompanied by a personal message from one of the jurors. Special about this competition is that it is for all levels: from beginners to very advanced amateurs, and conservatory students. The broadcasting of the Vosges (Vosges Televions) was there and made several recordings and interviews. Below are some impressions of the day:
