There he came in contact with the “Conservatorium of Amsterdam“ and enrolled immediately into the first year. His first teacher was Maarten van der Grinten, who really picked him up in a great way. In the following years he had lessons with Martijn van Iterson, Martien Oster, Jesse van Ruller, Joep Lumeij und Ed Verhoeff, Ferial Karamat Ali, David de Marezoyens, a.m.o.
