Artist Bio

11/22/2012

I am a boy, age 12. I play the classical guitar, and have been studying it since before I was 8 with my guitar tutor Walter. I practice piano and guitar everyday. I also learn theory and play the piano in music school, as a second instrument, mainly so I can play synthesizer. I also sing in the school choir.

I did my first master class with Fernando Riscado Cordas. He's one of Holland's master guitar players, and he is remarkable.

In august I have been admitted in the first year at the School for the arts near Antwerp, where Robert Denies is my guitar teacher. He studied together with Yves Storms in the Antwerp conservatory. I started playing etudes now, work by Sor and Cardoso. My first exam last december went very well, I am now practicing for the finals in May. We started out with 3 of us, but one pupil has already been sent away, for lack of effort. It's tough, but I manage, with excellent grades, I may add.

We go to a lot of concerts at school, we visit conservatory exams, and we do regular performances, I played at a parents evening last October, and I have another performance coming up in May, where I will play together with a singer from second year. This is giving me a lot of opportunities to improve.

I like to play guitar arrangements of traditional classical pieces, and have played work from Grieg, Mozart, Beethoven and Wagner. I like traditional blues - mississippi style and thumb bass - and play stuff from Clapton, Flint and Sacksioni. I also like the Spanish traditionals like Tarrega, Sor, Carulli, Villa-Lobos, Barrios Mangoré and so on.

Currently I am learning etudes by Sor (these are hard) and modern work from Jorge Cardoso (Milonga!!) and Henri Salvador (Syracuse) for my finals.

My favourite guitar players are Raphaella Smits, Julian Bream, John Williams, Paco de Lucia, Manuel Barrueco, Fernando Cordas, and Andres Segovia. I also saw a young Latin American player perform, by the name of Yamandu Costa, very impressive!!!

I own a Masaru Kohno 97 model. Handmade by Kohno himself, German Spruce board, rosewood and ebony, a very nice guitar with a sound that keeps developing. I also got me a Cuenca with cedar soundboard for a bit of variation.

I speak fluent Dutch, half decent French and English. My dad will edit all my writings for spelling.

The music I put online is mostly from rehearsal, always live / in one take, and never edited or produced, unless specifically mentioned. At the moment I have not been updating the music on here a lot. What is on here is about a year old. I hope to upload some new song soon.

Below are some pictures with famous classical guitar players: Raphaella Smits (Belgium's best) and me, and Fernando Riscado Cordas (One of Holland's top guitar players) during a workshop.
