Bert Lochs

I am a professional trumpet player, composer of both jazz and classical pieces for small and large ensembles alike and a teacher. I am leader/initiator of two trio's: Trio Bert Lochs and Lochs/Balthaus/Herskedal and I play in the Guus Tangelder Bigband, Pieter Basts E.S.P and the Jasper Somsen Group. With my trio's I made some very well received CD's and I played at the North Sea Jazz Festival and a lot of Dutch and German venues. I teach at home and at the music school of Alphen a/d Rijn. One of my main skills is teaching the Balanced Embouchure method. A method of trumpet pedagogue Jeff Smiley. I discovered it in 2002 and it helped me play a LOT better, and it completely turned around my view of how to play and teach the trumpet.

To my first follower!

Derek,

You seem to be my first follower. Tjeez, that is incredible! Thanks for signing in on this blog. I wanted to mail you a little something back, but I couldn't find my way through all kinds of login stuff, so I decided that it is quite something that I have a first follower and I just make a post for you.
I hope I can live up to the expectations. I do my best to come up with some stuff that is interesting or fun.
I would really want to able to load up some Youtube movies, but I have no clue. If you or anybody knows how to do this, please let me know.
