He studied with Pieter Odé and Marieke Schneemann at the Conservatory of Amsterdam where he graduated specialising in contemporary music.
After graduation at highest possible level in Amsterdam, he went to France many times to study there with flute-legend Christian Lardé.
In this important repertoire for the flute, he researched several elements in notation-forms in music from 1870, connected to the famous musician Paul Taffanel, which had led to another master's degree on this topic in 2017.
In 2015, he was awarded, by the Paris-based Société Academique "Arts-Sciences-Lettres", a Diploma de medaille d'Argent (a silver medal) for his work on French music throughout his career.
