Ensemble playing
At the moment I coach several ensembles that get together on a
regular basis. Other pupils play together from time to time in different
combinations. New ensembles are welcome. Ensembles usually make use of the
so-called ‘strippenkaart’, and their members between them pay for the time I
spend coaching the group.
 Group lessons
Group lessons are possible if more or less homogeneous groups
can be formed, such as adult beginners, or 6 and 7-year-olds.

Large recorder ensemble
 The recorder ensemble is entering its seventh year in September. It
consists of some 25 players, but as far as I’m concerned
there is plenty of room for more. Even when we started with eleven players I
hoped that, eventually, the ensemble would grow into a recorder orchestra.
Actually, it is beginning to look and sound like one. We have two great
basses and a contra at our disposal now. The ensemble rehearses once a month
on Tuesday evening from 19.45 to 21.45. Anyone who has had recorder lessons
for a few years or more can join the group. The sound of a large recorder
ensemble is wonderful, and players of different levels enjoy playing together. At present, the level ranges roughly
from grade 3/4 to grade 6/7. The atmosphere is very friendly, and everyone
can speak English! If you are interested, you are more than welcome to join
us for a trial session, just to see what it is like. You will find the dates
for 2011 - 2012 below.
Location:
We rehearse in the
music room of sports centre ‘de Blinkerd’, Seinpoststraat 150, 2586 HC Den Haag (Scheveningen).
You can get there
by taking tram 1 or 9, or bus 21 or 23. Both Haringkade and Seinpoststraat
are in the paid-parking zone now, but at Seinpoststraat there are no limits
to the time you can park there. Also see Location.
Dates:
10 Tuesday
evenings, once a month, between September 2011 and June 2012, from 19.45 to
